Tasty and informative - The tour of the distillery was short; yet, informative. First, you watch a video on the history and production of rum on the island. There is plenty of time to ask questions. At the end of the tour, you are able to taste the products of the distillery. In addition to appreciating the rum, you are then able to make educated decisions on the bottles you wish to purchase. Another plus is that the prices at the distillery are quite low and much lower than at the resorts.

Excellent tour by Alen - We went on the rum distillery tour and was taken there by Alen from Tram tours - although the rum your was great, what made it specially was Alen and his knowledge of the island and his friendly attitude.
When we got in the car we were given and amazing gift bag with local treats including hot sauce, curry powder, etc. And on the way back Alen offered to stop and a road side food vendor where we had the most amazing pork, salad and mash mix.
We’ve been on the island for 10 days and done a number of tours with different companies and Fran Tour have definitely been the best.
Could recommend enough and that you Alen!

Friends' Vacation - It was our first time visiting Saint Lucia and we wanted to get the most out of our experience so we booked the mud bath tour with FRAM Tours. We were satisfied with the first tour, so decided to book the St. Lucia Distillery tour. On our way to the distillery, we stopped at Marigot Bay for lunch. The food was great and the view was even better. This tour was perfect for a rum connoisseur like myself since I was able to taste authentic Saint Lucian rum. My favorite was the Chairman’s Reserve Spiced Rum, so I bought two bottles to take home with me.

Every rum under the sun - Good way to spend a couple hours and learn about the rum history of St. Lucia. I suggest you go directly yourself and not book through a tour. Price is very reasonable when you just pay for access at the factory.

Boozy stop - A welcome refreshment stop on an excursion from our cruise ship. The tour was informative & entertaining but perhaps of limited interest if you're not into distilling.
Tasting session was basically 'here's some rum, help yourself.' So not formal at all with no tasting notes. Observations were mainly of the 'try that, it'll blow your head off'.
The double strength rum was a highlight.
