Must see for rum lovers - The tour can be booked in smaller groups and in many languages. The historical center covers the history of the island in more detail than the Historical Museum in the capital. Actually, that alone is worth the visit. The tour is extensive, covers everything and takes place without any time pressure. It includes an extensive tasting in the middle of a huge warehouse with thousands of rum barrels stacked up to the ceiling. The ambience is unique and extremely harmonious. You are not just bottled, you learn to taste the rum, to taste the nuances and differences between the storage time and the type of barrels used. Great! In the shop there is no pressure to buy anything and you are accompanied, advised and served by the factory's own guide. The prices are significantly lower than in local retail. Of all the local tours of rum distilleries, this is the most interesting, comprehensive, educational and by far the most personal experience. The only tour that I can recommend.

Would do this tour again and again, worth the time and money. - We wanted to visit a Rum distillery and tasting. Our driver Sandro knew a tour guild at Ron Barcelona and booked us a tour. We purchased the $30 tour and Sergio was our guide. It was by far the Best tasting tour I’ve ever been on. Such a clean and nice distillery and facility. Our guide Sergio was so knowledgeable and nice. I would Highly recommend this tour. The prices on their Rum is better than anywhere else.

Ron's Barcerio rum tasting tour - We booked out trip thru Sandro Moreno our driver, who was fantastic. We enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide was Sergio who explained the process to us and was a fantastic guide. We had a delicious mixed drink while going through the museum. We tasted 5 rums at the end. The rums for sale had great pricing. This was one of the best rum tours I've ever taken. They explained the process and you got to see the plant and bottling as well as quality control. Thanks Sergio for the great tour.

Very interesting and fun! - This is a great tour to do when you're in the capital or La Romana. We booked over the phone the day before and got there in a car rental. We had a great time learning so much about the distillery and the history. In addition, we were able to try the rum and got to try a delicious mixed drink. I recommend you wear sunscreen and wear a hat since the sun can be very strong when you're outside during parts of the tour. The tour ends at the gift shop where you get great deals on bottles and other souvenirs.

Totally worth it - An amazing experience. We went without a reservation during a weekday and the staff was very welcoming from the second we drove into their parking. I believe our tour guide was Jean Carlos, great experience for the price and you get to shop around for liquor at the end of the tour

Rum tour with tastings - We were accommodated by Sergio over the phone for a last minute booking. At reception, Juan Carlos gave us a personal guided and well informed tour around their processes and warehouses. We visited the museum for a film with a delicious rum cocktail. His English is great - much better than our Spanish. Generous rum tastings at the bar ended the tour in style. The different rums are superb to try. The new Porto rum is incredible - a must try! The shop was well stocked and cheaper than the supermarkets, so get yours there! Needless to say we bought quite a few bottles to take home. A wonderful trip with a great host. Thank you for being so welcoming 😀

Fantastic!!!! - Oh my goodness! We had a great experience with Luis. There were no reservations available, so we chanced there might be something and drove over. The security guard was able to get us a tour and it was just the two of us! Luis had wonderful English and was so, so knowledgeable! The flight tasting was so good that we bought several bottles to carry home. Especially the ones not exported to the US. Would do this again!
