Your first stop on your reggae journey takes you into the environs of the Trench Town Culture Yard. Bob Marley, arguably Trench Town's best-known resident lived here. While living here Bob Marley was taught how to play the guitar by Vincent ‘Tata’ Ford. It was here too that the very popular song `No Woman No Cry' was co-written by Bob Marley and Vincent `Tart' Ford, which recalled their experiences living in the yard. Bob Marley would also recall in the song `Natty Dread' his many trips from First Street to Seventh Streets. It was while living at number 6 and 8 First Street that the Wailers were formed and Bob Marley and the Wailers' first album `Catch a Fire' was recorded.

As springboard in the preparation and perfection of an artist's performance and recording, the Tuff Gong International Studio Rehearsal Room is the next stop on your guided tour, an edu-taining and interactive revelation of music making's intricacies. Replete with stage, mics, and stands, instruments to include one of Bob Marley's very own grand pianos, keyboard, trap drums, control board, mirrors plus seating, your tour will explore this entity's history and purpose. 

Your final stop on your reggae journey is The Bob Marley Museum, the former home of the reggae legend. Bob’s home is filled with rich memories and treasured mementoes, which seek to preserve the life and accomplishment of this great Jamaican and outstanding musician.
