This place pulsates with history, especially the history of Reggae music. You get the chance to stand inside Bob Marley's one-bed-room apartment, converted from what was the common kitchen in this former "tenement yard." This is a must-see tour for anyone who loves Reggae and seeks a deeper understanding of its origin.

Best tour in my opinion! Besides the tour me and my girl got to hang around with the locals and some other spiritual people in Trench Town. Big up to Chris who works as a taxi driver at Eden Resort!

This was one of the more interesting stops on my trip. It's not very "touristy" and that's what sat it apart. Great guide who actually lived therev and could tell all kind of interesting things

A must-see for locals and foreigners alike to understand the circumstances and inspiration behind so many talents- Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Vincent Ford etc, and experience life in Kingston's mid1900s inner cities. Cheapest tour starts at $800JMD or US$12 and lasts about an hour

This is a very important cultural space for reggae music and Jamaica in general. It helps us to understand the life and times of Kingston that created the music we appreciate today. As Bob Marley lived at that address, it holds special significance as he is a leading figure in the music of that period. The VW bus that was featured in the Babylon by Bus tour is the highlight, but it could be argued that it needs to be preserved.

We just toured the building as we were on a bit of a budget and we didnt want to fork out for the whole trench town area tour. The tour wasnt very informative and was only about 15 mins in whole. The area is interesting to see when driving through (a whole other world from the rest of jamaica) and it's nice to see where bob lived in his teens. We listened to the reggee band who who were pretty cool but we didnt purcase their cd. (Who uses cds nowadays? -maybe the should look into getting on itunes or something) but we anyway gave a tip for their efforts. After that we were escorted off the premises and was refrained from taking more photos as the tour was now over.

The Trench Town culture yard is an heritage site, home of Reggae music, this is more the rustic part of Bob Marley life, and rich history

This place is a must visit for true reggae fans. This is where Bob Marley and many other reggae artists started out. Remember to bring cash with you because cards are not accepted. We did a tour of the yard with the lady who manages the place then toured the neighborhood with Blackie. It was humbling and sobering to see the living conditions of the residents of Trenchtown but very a insightful and informative tour. It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with the people of Jamaica and learn from them. After the tours we heard a few songs from a member of the band Livin Kulcha. We would have bought the CD but didn't bring enough cash. It was great to see where Bob and others came from and to learn about all the music history in this tiny town. Thanks for sharing with us

For an authentic experience of Kingston's music culture, this is the place to visit. Authentic works of art, pottery, music and the friendliness of the Trench Town Community is unmatched. No Visit to Trench Town is complete without a visit with Roots and Herbs teacher Oswald 'Stoneman ' Comrie
