Rum history walking tour with FOX - From the moment we met our guide, Fox, we knew it was going to be a great tour. Fox educated us on the Rum & Bahamian history with extreme wit - we had the perfect guide.
John Watlings distillery was very interesting from the history to how it operates modern day. Also good to see where James Bond was filmed in Casino Royale.
The chocolate factory was ok and the melted white chocolate was heavenly.
Walking towards downstairs was very historic and again interesting.
The speakeasy was fantastic. It was set up perfectly. By the end of the rum tasting & cocktail making the who group was rather merry 🤣
The final stop was a pub by the port for a cocktail and some delicious fish conch. The history of black beard / his wife and right hand “ man “ was delivery fantastically by Fox
A recommend trip but maybe some more food needed 😜
