Fun and Rum - What an amazing experience from the presentation to the tastings. The chocolate was amazing along with the pairings which included cheese and macadamia nuts. The rum was magnificent learning the proper way to drink them was my favorite. So much shopping can be done as well for a reasonable price 10/10 would recommend again!!!

Best Rum Around - This was my husband and I’s second time doing this tour. We went in 2023 with friends and had to come back again so our family could also experience it. We ended up having the same guide as last year, Wendell. He is extremely knowledgeable of the rum and how it’s made. We always have lots of laughs with him and he truly makes us feel like we’re familia when we’re there. Not only do you get to try rum, but there is are mini tastings of their chocolate and coffee as well. The shop this experience is located in is very cute with great prices for buying unique gifts for your home or loved ones back home. We highly recommend this experience!

Interesting - The bus was in rough condition and I got slightly motion sick, which rarely happens. We were taken back and thought we had gotten on the wrong tour when we were given a tour of a souvenir shop. Turns out some of those picked up along the way were shopping, and the tour was at the back of the store. The actual tour and tasting was just under an hour long. Wendel is very knowledgeable and helpful providing great information. If you are a lightweight like me, you will be grateful you aren't driving, but it was an interesting experience.

Rip Off, don't waste your time. - Do not waste your money going on this tour, it is a rip off! They advertise the tour as two hours but it's not. It's less than that, on the day of my tour they wanted to pick us up after the tour had started at 11:35. If the tour starts at 11 it should start at 11, the bus ride should not be included because who knows how many others, you'll have to pick up. Also, I'd hate to be the person on the bus getting picked up at 9:30 and others are still being picked up at 11:30, who wants to spend two hours sitting on a bus while others are still being picked up. All in all, the description is very misleading, and you'll be better of just buying a bottle of rum.
