A must tour to take a little expensive but we enjoyed our guide who was very knowledgeable. Very very friendly very kind. Would recommend this excursion to anyone.
The experience was a 10/10 🔥. Started with the greetings at the check in desk, to the guided tour. I would highly recommend the taste tasting. It’s definitely worth the experience.
We loved it!! The staff was warm, friendly and very informative. The tour and tastings were all great. Small and intimate type setting. The drinks before and after really good.
Absolute wonderful way to learn and taste the history of rum in Puerto Rico. So much history in a closet knit setting that you can feel the love they have for their rum.
First off, Puerto Rico is #1 on my bucket list. With that said a Rum Tour was definitely gonna happen. After reading several reviews The “Ron Del Barrilito” Tour and Mixology experience was top notch. Everyone in the Visitor center was Polite and Professional. After checking in we received our buzzer and went to the bar for our free drink. The host told us what drinks were included in the mixology experience (Old Fashion, Encanto Daiquiri and Pina Colada). At the Bar I got a Rum & Coke and my wife got a Lavender drink. We enjoyed our drinks inside and on the outside terrace. We also checked out the gift shop. When our scheduled tour time came around the buzzer went off and we joined Eric our tour guide. Eric is very well spoken and a true professional. The tour began with a visit to the home of the original owners on the estate. Great views and photo opportunities. Then onto the factory, a few views along the way and pho ops. The Factory is a small operation with High Quality Rum as a result. The Creation process is a secret recipe, but you see the Barrels and how they move from point to point in the creation process. You will experience the smells of the process. The 1952 Barrel has an amazing story. Lastly we followed up with the Mixology experience. No talent needed. Eric was an excellent instructor as he walked us through the three drinks. One by one, with clear instructions on everything that was used. The best part - Enjoying the drinks you made (full portions) no skimping here. A Truly wonderful experience full of laughter and your senses will be enlightened. We had so much rum and fun. We also ordered the Chips and Chicken w/ cilantro. Delicious. It paired well with the rum drinks. Before we left we took advantage of the buy to 3 Star bottles and get a bottle of Coquito. Oh and the bar will give you free samples of the rum if you ask. As we left in our Lyft, I truly appreciated the Ron Del Barrilito experience. It felt personal and full of the PR Rum Culture. This was an absolutely fantastic experience and will be a lasting memory for my wife and I. Thank you Eric, Thank you Ron Del Barrilito visitor staff. Highly recommend - 5 Stars all day. Oh did I mention, the Rum drinks are so delicious. Very smooth and the Best Pina Colada ever.
We had such a great time learning about the history, our host was amazing and very knowledgeable. The rum was delicious as well enough that we bought a bottle of the four star to take home.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable professional and amazing. We enjoyed it definitely recommend it
First of all, the drinks at the bar are top notch! Our tour guide’s name was Rogelio and he was very informative. We really enjoyed the history tour and also we enjoyed the privilege of tasting the fine rums, especially the 4 and 5 stars. We loved the certificates too! We are going to keep them in our bar area at home. This was worthwhile. Also, the property itself is beautiful.
I think it might save some money to buy this tour directly on the website of the distillery instead of through Viator because there really was no “line” to skip. But it was useful since I booked other tours on Viator so I kept track of things easier on the app.
The rum was delicious and the history of this company and the behind the scenes tour of the factory where it’s made and bottled is very special. The signature cocktails at the bar are excellent and the hand shaken pina colada is not to be missed!!
Informative and interesting tour. Tasted 5 rums and saw the barrel room. Welcome cocktail included. Very beautiful space!
The tour was a lot of fun. Highly recommend! If you want to go I would definitely go don’t pass it up.
Skip Bacardi and go straight to the good rum in Bayamón . Complete with a thoughtfully crafted cocktail, the rum tasting and distillery tour was an excellent choice to get out of the busy city to see the lovely estate in Bayamón. The guide was thorough and enticing, while still allowing us ample time to ask question and walk around. Suffice to say, we never felt dragged around or missing out on any information due to the smaller tour size. The proceeding rum tasting was of great value and I left excited to say I’ve tasted all their rums from 2-5 star ages.
This was a fun experience. The tour is interesting and our guide explained tbe history of the company and the family along with how the rum is produced. The tasting was great. If you love rum, you will enjoy this. The tasting includes the good stuff. Between tis tour and the one at the other place (Bacardi), pick this one.
We did an afternoon tour. We were able to have a private tour. The free entry drink was very good and a great presentation.
High end experience similar to distillery tours in the states. Would definitely recommend. Good value between the tastings and complimentary drink from the bar. Nice place to enjoy drinks and a cigar on their back patio.
Great tour - good sized group. Really interesting & informative. Beautiful terrace for pre tour cocktail. Rum tasting was great too! 😍
Knowledgeable guide but not cost effective. Mentioned the gift shop 4-5 times. Was disappointed we had to buy a full bottle or wanted a small sampler to purchase.
Very expensive and would have appreciated a charcuterie to absorb some of the alcohol.
Very informative loved it. Pedro was superb very knowledgeable and professional. Definitely recommend. The bartender made this Pina colada which was out of this world. I have never in my life tasted such a drink like this. Can't forget the shop guy thank you so much great kind man. Amazing staff keep up the great work.
The best Rum I ever tasted. In an elite class with your top self whiskeys, bourbons and cognacs. The up close and personal tour of the family history the facilities where the process happen was amazing. The tasting tour allow you to be a part of history. Marjorie was a exceptional tour guide, her energy and her personal dedication stamps the tour with 100% Authenticity!
Loved how intimate and informative the tour was. It was amazing to get to tour the house and bottling area and learn all about the rum making process. Our tour guide, Coco was so kind and funny. She truly made it a memorable experience.
Amazing guide excellent costumer services very good. Coral was super good, good drinks, I will recommend it 100%
Tim was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about the history and the rum. Highly recommend. The cocktail at the end was icing on the cake.
After reading recent reviews of another rum distillery in Puerto Rico, I did a bit of googling and found out about Ron del Barrillito. As those reviews said, this tasting tour is nice and intimate; we were a group of 10. Our tour guide was very informative, fun, and welcomed questions. The history of the distillery is quite interesting, and it was neat to see the different parts of the distillery and taste their unique rums. The 4 and 5 star are excellent, but the 3 star is very nice as well. Their rums have a bit of a different flavor, being done in a style like Cognac, but are great sipping rums. If you aren't a fan of big crowds and want a fun, unique rum distillery tour with great rums to taste, this one is worth it.
Incredible tour experience! Our tour guide Marjorie was so kind and funny and she was very knowledgeable about the distillery and its history. We learned a lot about the history of the distillery and got to see the entire operation. The welcome cocktail was so delicious that we came back to the bar for more cocktails after the tour!! Our bar tender was also so kind and helpful. The rum tasting at the end was awesome, 10/10 recommend.
Fantastic tour of the small batch rum distillery. We would absolutely recommend this one and will definitely do it again if in the area. The tour was an hour and the tasting was great! Lots of details that should be a surprise, and they left us very happy!
Although the tour was short, our guide Timmy was very knowledgeable and answered all the group's questions. He was very insightful and funny at the rum tasting.
This is a pretty good value as you get a welcome drink, and then during the tour you get a tasting of their 4 rums. I would recommend.
I am SO glad that we chose Ron del Barrilito’s for this experience! Very, very lovely people greeted us as we waited for our tour to begin. They gave us a coin for a free drink (which was delicious). We went through the family home and distillery, as well as the barrel house. So much history about the making of rum! Then we got to the good stuff! We tried five different bottles of their delicious rum, from their one-star bottle all the way up to the five star (which sells for a mere $750. 😮 This was a fun, informative tour. Thank you, Viator!
Great tour guide! Just wish we had more time and more things to see. Also, more entertainment would have been nice. Overall I enjoyed the Rum and the history behind it.
Very fun trip! The tour guide was super knowledgeable. The rums we tasted were excellent, and it was fun learning the history of this local producer.
