So much fun! Lots of rum! - This tour was so much fun. Fox, our tour guide was great at telling history/stories about the area and the pirates. He was so funny! Loved that our group was not merged in with other tour groups. Best part was going to the speakeasy that Island tours owns and having the mixology class and rum tasting. Also we went to the Pirate Republic bar which was different than other tour groups -so that was great. One tip- lots of walking. Wear tennis shoes. Also- was a little walk to the distillery from the cruise ship. Highly recommend if you like to drink!

Lots of fun! - Shad was an excellent tour guide. He provided a lot of historical information but he was so funny and entertaining. The rum, rum drinks and food were really good. The only thing I would recommend is to take a cab from the cruise port (plenty available) to the meeting point, as it was very hot and uphill to get there. We had a great time!
