Very informative, you get to meet great new people while taking shots and sharing a few snacks. Definitely a great experience. Our tour guide Tasha was excellent and explaining and sharing all the stories about Rhum.
Patricia_S, Jul 2026
It was fun! We learned about the making of the rum and had quite a few very small tastes of different flavors (almost too small to actually discern the flavor)
Sharita_C, Jul 2026
My cousins and I attended the rum tour in a Friday evening with Sparkle as our tasting guide! She was a good time from beginning to end! Her storytelling and rhum knowledge kept up engaged the whole time! It’s definitely a must when you are in St Marteen.

Great time with Cindy and the Toppers crew who made sure our group was engaged and hands on while tasting over 20 varieties of Toppers Rhum. We ended up bringing home a bottle and box of rhum cake. Highly recommend!
Helena_R, Jul 2026
Such a fun addition to our girls trip. Our guide Sydney had a great personality, and made learning about the distillery so fun. We each bought the mini bottles box to bring home as souvenirs, and it definitely can be used to gift to multiple. 10/10 would recommend

The rum tour was such a fun experience and definitely worth it! We got to sample a variety of rums, learn about the distilling process, and the atmosphere was relaxed from start to finish.
A huge shoutout to Cindy—she was an amazing host! She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so much fun with her energy and personality. She kept everyone engaged, answered all of our questions, and made us feel right at home. If you get the chance to take this tour, I hope you get Cindy as your host. She truly made the experience a 10/10!

Georgianna_H, Jul 2026
We tried 22 different rums and rum cake and rum chicken! Sparkles made sure we were entertained the whole time but the whole group was alot of fun! We had such a great time!
Nique_W, Jul 2026
I did not enjoy the tour. Our tour guide was unprofessional. Her attempts at comedy didn’t land. Part of her routine was flirting and making inappropriate comments to the women and men who were with their partners. She used unnecessary cursing. Her behavior made my group uncomfortable. She thought one of her coworkers was being unprofessional and she reprimanded the young lady in front of us . She then talked about the incident for 10 minutes of the tour. We walked out and left. The other groups who had another tour guide seemed to enjoy the tour maybe we just lucked out
Hannah_W, Jul 2026
I was about 10 minutes late due to traffic but Sparkles and the rest of the team allowed me to join the tour with no problems. A lot of good information about the distillery and a lot of good rhum!
Rhonda_O, Jun 2026
Topper’s rum tasting tour was a very lively and fun experience. Our Host Sparkles made our experience memorable. She gave us some history and was very enthusiastic &energetic. She surprised us with a cooking demonstration and the chicken was very tasty. It’s not a full meal but just a tasting to demonstrate how you can incorporate Toppers rum into your recipes.
Tracy_G, Jun 2026
The tour was alright. The thing that upset me is that at the end of tour they try to get you to buy their rum by telling you that you can take it on the plane. That was a lie. You have to check it in a bag. They do not tell you that. I even asked our tour guide if I could take it on the plane with me and she said yes. I believed her. She said as long as I don’t open it. Of course, at the airport, security confiscated my 2 bottles. When I reached out to the company to let them know what happened and if they could ship me the two bottles that we’re taken from me, I never heard back from them. Very poor Customer Service in my opinion.
Jasmine_H, Jun 2026
Bring water and prepared to have a good time and to taste all the good rums! Would def go back again
Kelvonne_P, Jun 2026
The guide was so nice and very knowledgeable. Tasting 22 rum flavors was amazing. The cheesecake and pineapple were my favorite. I got some gelato and rum cake to go bc it was delicious as well.
Chris_L, Jun 2026
Our tour guide was so much fun and kept the shots of rum coming! Definitely glad we did this tour before we left!
