Fun laid back tour. Probably best to remember to eat something before the tour. You will be drinking great rum.

The tour was very good. Adrien was our guide and he was excellent. The security was a nice touch h and he was very kind in getting a buggy for us because of the rain. The grounds were beautiful and very well cared for

Leisha_B, Apr 2026
I booked the wrong time for the tour I wanted to take through a third party (viator). Bacardi discovered the error on check in, told me how to correct it, made sure it got corrected and then made sure I got on the tour. Excellent customer service! …Tour was good too!
Jim_M, Apr 2026
A very small amount of tastings, extremely expensive for the price. I would not recommend. It's all about them making money by selling other products! Disappointing for sure.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Lynda_W, Mar 2026
We knew nothing about rum before the tour and now we feel like we could be a blender. Not really but it was a lot of fun, we learned a lot, tasted 4 rums, and Ed was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide.
CYNTHIA_B, Mar 2026
Barcardi facility experience was great. We received a lot of knowledge on rum making., the employees were friendly and it was just a good atmosphere, I would recommend highly
LaGrant_R, Mar 2026
It is fun but it is very expensive for what's included. They give you a token for a drink but you can only get a choice of 2 very basic rum drinks! The history lesson is very short for 100 bucks,
Response from Host, Mar 2026

The entire staff is welcoming from the moment you arrive! Our guide for the rum tasting was amazing…he was informative and funny and definitely kept everyone engaged. If you go the Piña Coladas are a must have.
Elizabeth_v, Mar 2026
Good tour. Tasting was good.
Our guide, Romeo was great.
Easy to book and to get there with a Lyft. Everyone qas super friendly.
Adam_W, Mar 2026
Learning about the history of Bacardi and rum in general was interesting, and the tasting was such a fun experience.
Alicia_D, Mar 2026
Very interesting. Learned a lot. Finding the place was a bit difficult. Romeo was a very excellent guide.
Michael_D, Mar 2026
Did the rum tasting and tour. They have a very nice outdoor venue when you arrive/depart. Lively music, outdoor games, and good spots for photos. Bar serves about 10 different cocktails. Food kiosk serves mostly appetizers.
The tour itself is just okay. It runs about 15 minutes and entirely done from a tram. Hearing the guide over the speaker was difficult. Also, because of the tour brevity, I felt like there's much info. about Bacardi that is not provided. There is no opportunity to ask questions during the tour.
The rum tasting was the best part. Our guide did a fantastic job explaining Bacardi's distilling and aging processes. Explained and discussed each of the 4 rum varietals as well. Lots of opportunities for questions during this stage of the tour.
In summary, it's a nice vibe and good way to spend an afternoon in Cataño.
Tyshania_K, Mar 2026
Maria was amazing! I loved her tour and presentation. She’s a profession with a lot of personality and knowledge. I also love the way she pronounces BaCardi. The rums were all delicious with their own characteristics and taste. The chocolate was decadent and rich. There’s some good finds in the store.
Eugenie_C, Mar 2026
Great history tour of BACARDÍ. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We did the rum tasting tour and the welcome drink and 4 tastings were delicious.
Sheena_K, Mar 2026
The tour guides are amazing, they really know everything about the history of the Baccardi. The actual tasting was good, but we found it a bit boring, but that eas just us. We did learn how to taste Rum though.

Great tour, informative and fun. Romeo knew a lot about Puerto Rican rum. It was a pleasure learning and getting to taste the different types of rum made at casa BACARDÍ
Stephanie_K, Mar 2026
Great tour! So interesting to see behind the scenes and sit in on a taste testing. Highly recommend if you’re in San Juan.
Maria_M, Mar 2026
Absolutely the best piña colada I’ve ever had! For an adventure, we took a ferry to Old San Juan and caught the shuttle bus to BACARDÍ. We don’t know we had to prepay for the bus but they let us pay at the factory. However, I would not recommend waiting for a shuttle bus back to the ferry. I would suggest calling uber to bring you back to town. The tour was fun. We did rum tasting.
Cathy_A, Feb 2026
Our tour was very enjoyable, our guide was knowledgeable and funny. The rum was delicious. Highly recommend.
