A taste of history - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She didn’t rush through t the tour even though it was only 2 of us. We felt at ease and were given ample time to look and take photos. She was well versed in the different rums in the tasting area and was even able to give excellent recommendations. Overall the tour was fun and we left with our favorite flavors.

Beautiful sun set and dancing - Wonderful experience, they took us out before the sun set to music and champagne and run drinks. My wife danced barefoot on the nets and we all had a great time. Thank you very much!

Fun rum - We really enjoyed this tour , the driver we had was great and make the trip enjoyable. The tour itself was approx 20/30 mins but was interesting and you got to try all their available rums (which was 20 plus) . A decent half a day out

Great tour - Samuel was our driver and the day was fantastic. Full of knowledge of the island, Samuel pointed out all the key landmarks of the island on the trip to the distillery. The distillery tour was great, especially all the samples at the end 😀 Trip to the market was an extra treat to the day

Very educational tour. - Good presenter. Appreciated the opportunity to sample and compare all the types of Rum in the tasting area. Salespeople in bottle shop were very nice and helpful when we had questions about limits and rules about United States customs limits. They did a great job packaging our purchased Rum so it was ready to pack in a suitcase. I didn't give 5 stars because we had difficulty hearing descriptions of the two different types of stills, and the bottles of resulting product at each step while next to the stills. Suggest presenting that inside and then allowing pictures and questions when next to stills. Also would have liked to see where the Rum barrels are stored (if on-site).

Room for improvement but a decent experience - The tour guide who took us to and from this tour was really pleasant. He was a great conversationalist and pointed out all the places of interest along the route, even stopping for us to get some pics and do some shopping. The actual tour of the distillery was not as exciting as we had hoped. Our guide was not the most enthusiastic. The positive side was that we were able to sample a wide range of their rums.

Not quite what we expected - Or quite what we expected after visiting g other distilleries in the Caribbean. Expected a tour of the grounds &to see more of how the runs weee made rather than a short speach etc. saw a short video then had the chance to taste some rums. Didn’t last as long as we expected. Our driver Samuel though was great

Very underwhelmed - Having visited other distilleries in the Caribbean had expected more from the tour. Tour of distillery lasted no more than 30 minutes and then rum tasting which was very much help yourself. Company could make much more of the shop experience - only bottles of rum. No souvenirs or mementos. Unfortunately would not recommend this tour.
