I thought I did not like rum, but I learned so much about the history of rum, the distilling process from a fabulous hostess, and my mind was turned. Lots more to learn and try!

Great tour

Great tour with great information. We arrived 15 minutes early as instructed, and due to other people being late we didn’t start until 30 minutes after the scheduled tour time. The staff were really nice and kept us updated about the delay.

Very entertaining and informative ,
