Entertaining - Our tour was fabulous. James was our driver for the shuttle to Appleton Rum. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He pointed out landmarks as we drove. I would recommend the tour. One precaution. The road to the distillery is quite bumpy and curves.

DONT BOOK WITH CHUKJA - The only reason why I’m giving it two stars is because the transportation knew that my bag was left on the bus and I texted them and they refused to respond back on a update of my bag very disappointed as for the Appleton tour it was amazing they should just pick a different transportation company! Chukka is all about money money and money they made me get the triple charging and extra $60 dollars saying that me and one other person is the only one going mind u the bus was filled with people they be scamming and my card was charged 150 imma add pictures of I can! DONT BOOK WITH CHUKKA
