This was a great tour. We chose the Heritage tour. The tour came with a drink before the tour, and the bartenders were amazing. The tour guide was great. We had a few more drinks and some snacks after the tour as well. I highly recommend a tour.

Interesting tour of the grounds. Nice location and staff. Great cocktails as well. Definitely worth a visit!

Overview

Ron del Barrilito Puerto Rican rum has been made in the same place with the same craft since 1880. Discover what lies behind it—and the art of transforming sugar cane into fine liquor—when you prebook this small-group tour of the historic hacienda. See the mansion and the windmill, learn about the family who created it, and walk through the age-old process that gives Ron del Barrilito its rich flavor.
  • Tour the Ron del Barrilito hacienda with skip-the-line access
  • Get the rum spirit flowing with a welcome cocktail on arrival

This is the tour to take!!! Amazing experience!!!!

Kayla_L, May 2026
The tour was so informative and interesting! I loved learning how much went into making rum and I had no idea how much went into it! It is an amazing process and our tour guide was wonderful. I highly recommend taking a tour through this peurto Rican owned rum company who truly takes so much pride in their process❤️ and of course, we had to take about $200 worth of rum back home with us!

Beautiful Property. Interesting History

Andy_P, Mar 2026
The grounds are beautiful. This is an interesting and fun tour of the grounds and Rick houses with a tasting at the end. We were happy to have gone. This is relatively short, so you can fit the tour into an already busy day.

Awesome must do!

Marjorie our tour guide was very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. What made this tour good is that it felt very personable, rustic, and familiar. We did not have to do a lot of walking and it was a good mix of history, family lore, and rum!

My wife and I took an Uber from the cruise ship port and enjoyed the personalized tour versus joining the cattle call of large cruise ship group. It was very relaxing and enjoyable to learn about the rum making process.

Cultural gem

Lori_B, Jan 2025
A lot of historial information relayed in a friendly and relaxed format. Worth the price of entry. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered our questions. Would recommend to anyone.

Quick and fun tour to support local industries!

Shannon_C, Jan 2025
Such a fun and informative tour! Marjorie is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share about the rum history, production and fun facts. We highly recommend!

You won't be disappointed!

Gwendolyn_R, Dec 2024
This was the best tour of our vacation! We enjoyed hearing about the history. The smell of the barrels in storage was wonderful. The cocktails we were served were delicious.We have a new appreciation for this rum and will definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Not worth the money

wmsummernights, Jul 2024
First, excursion is 6 miles from cruise port. Taxi was $37 each way. Fifteen minutes reviewing two rooms in the owners original home. Another 15 minutes in the warehouse. You go inside visitor center and get one drink all for approx. $60. I would choose another excursion for the money.

Friendly and Authentic Rum Tasting Tour

Luz_T, Apr 2024
I visited with family and we made wonderful memories. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, they did not skimp on the complimentary beverage (you get to choose from a wide variety of options), and the tour is thorough. The guide was very positive and answered questions quickly, fully and offered options. The place is quaint and worth the money invested for the visit. It is a much better value than the Bacardi Rum tour.

Great place, great drinks!

Heather_S, Mar 2024
Excellent place! Tour was great! Pina colada was amazing!! Beautiful scenery and kind staff! Highly recommend!!!

A little for a lot.

Dennis_N, Mar 2024
There isn't much to see but the old hacienda was interesting. The bar experience after was to notch.

quick, informative, fun

Ieesha_M, Mar 2024
We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and the grounds were very cool knowing hearing its history. Welcome drink was good and about 1/2 the portion of a regular or paid for drink but yummy nonetheless. It's a good and well priced tour that's gives great history about Barristilo Rum

Beautiful

korvette_L, Feb 2024
Great tour beautiful place and amazing drinks ! Got to learn some cool fact and see the oldest barrels !

Perfect Rum Tour

JACQUELINE_J, Dec 2023
This was an awesome tour. Our guide Valerie was excellent. She explained the history of Santa Ana house and history of the family. The tour was perfect in time and perfect for families with children under 18. I definitely recommend this tour. Also our bartender, Christian blended us great drinks and the gift shop has nice items you not want to miss out on.

Yum to the Rum!

Bruce_I, Dec 2023
Valeria was an awesome, enthusiastic tour guide! She was knowledgeable sharing lots of historical information. She answered all of our questions. The rum storage room was amazing! Seeing all the dates on the barrels was very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our complimentary cocktail prior to our tour. The mixologists are true experts. Part of the fun was watching him create the drinks! At the close of the tour we were able to sample the Coquito, boy was that GOOOOOD! The tour was scheduled for 30 minutes. It ran over time because there is so much information to impart. It was well worth the extra time!!! Our group was 4 of us who traveled together to attend. THe small group size was very much appreciated! We would recommend this tour!

Rum Day in Puerto Rico

The bartenders were great to watch them prepare the drinks. The specialty cocktails were top notch, the tasting room was beautiful, and the tour enjoyable. Have already recommended this place to several people.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he wasn't mad about all the questions we asked

Dana_G, Nov 2023
Loved seeing the barrels and the old house. It was raining the entire time and they had umbrellas ready to go for us! I reccomend this tour because they are the oldest in the country.

Keisha_P, Aug 2023
Really an amazing fun tour. The bartenders were very friendly and while making our drinks allowed my friend to record him. The video came out great! The drinks were fantastic. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all questions we had. I would suggest this tour to everyone.

Don’t miss this!

Diane_R, Jul 2023
Everything was perfect! Uber drop off and pick up is well marked and greeted promptly in the visitors center. Given a drink token for immediate use or after tour. Bar is available befor Nd after the tour. Unique story about the family. About 1/2-3/4 hour- good explanation and not overwhelming. The Lina colada was to die for (we stayed so I could have 3!). Fun atmosphere.

Buy it!

Evelyn_C, Jul 2023

Heritage rum tour

Nicolas_C, Aug 2022
Great staff and great ambient, the guide was extremely well educated about the history of the brand. It could be better if they let you try some pure rum, a shot nothing crazy, the cocktails were great but like I said, it would give them more value.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

We're sorry to hear that. Hopefully next time you visit us you may find a more enjoyable experience to suit your interests. Thank you for your feedback, will give this information to the team.
