MUST BOOK TOUR, NO HESITATION! It’s a must see/go for more rich history and of course who doesn’t like RUM😊 - 10 OUT OF 10!!!! I celebrated my birthday weekend with my best friend and this one was of the first excursion/activity we booked! From the moment our private driver, Dwayne picked up (he was soo sweet) and my tour guide who rode along with this the whole time, Tamara (the BEST) that taught us more about Jamaica, the beautiful island and what they had to offer… from authentic Jamaican beef patty, peanuts, coconuts, shrimp/crawfish soup etc to when we go to the BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL distillery. The moment we got there, we were handed their signature cocktails, which tasted amazing, got a full tour of the history of how Jamaica produces their best rum with a decent sized heart. We got to try molasses, moron, sugarcane, and I mentioned… It was mad fun! To end the tour we were serve lunch that included jerk, chicken and jerk pork as well as other side and of course we had to stop at the gift shop to bring more rum home!
If you like rum, want to know more history about Jamaica, and how they even make their ROM, or try to broaden your horizons/experience then no hesitation, book this tour, and get ready for an experience you never tried before, OR GO VISIT AGAIN!

He is also very pleasant and has a great sense of humor. The roads are rough and the stops are sometimes too short for picture taking. However, I highly recommend the tour.</p>
