Wonderful Educational Excursion - The views were amazing! We took lots of great photos! I took my parents while they are here for their anniversary (they are ~55 years of age) and it was very informative. Beware this excursion is on the very tip of the island, and taxi's to and fro can be pricey. Neither of them drink so we just did the Cherry Tree Hill + Great House Option (forgoing the rum tasting) and I think they had a very good time. Just FYI, sitting at the front of the train may put you in the line of fire so to speak, its a wood and coal burning engine, and there is a fair amount of smoking, and embers that are emitted during the tour. My father was wearing a white shirt, but he still managed to keep it clean, my mother was wearing open toes sandals and was surprised by an ember on her foot. She wasn't burned, just startled, so dress accordingly.

The experience with the... - The experience with the old train and the story were very interesting and would be wonderfully conveyed by the guide. However, it said on the ticket + Great House Tour, which unfortunately was not included in the price. Unfortunately, it's a shame.

A fun educational morning - A nice ride by train, unfortunately an old diesel train. But it was fun and there was explanation about train, wagons and everything we saw. There was also time to take pictures at the highest point The guide in the buildings gave good explanations. And Simon at the rum tasting did a nice job, too.

Do the train only, skip the rum tasting - The train is fun, even though it was really crowded. Do not recommend paying for the rum tasting. You get two small sips of the worst options and even if you’d want to buy a bottle of the older vintage there isn’t an option to try. Based on the ones we tried the quality wasn’t worth investing in the actual ones we would drink.

Misleading advertising - place on the ticket that includes the train tour and the house tour and upon arrival at the site indicate that the ticket is only for the train tour and that you must pay 100 dollars more. this is misleading advertising.

Very short train ride - The train ride is too short if you take the basic one of $35, not worth it plus the taxi ride is long and expensive too for such a 10 minute ride one way and 10 minutes back and the rest is just talking about the history of the place!
