12.Bacardi Rum Distillery and Old San Juan Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 77 reviews · from $99

Review of San Juan’s Old Town and Casa Bacardi tour, with practical details on stops, drinks, transport, value, and who should book.

“For the price of $99 I don't think the value was there. It was a historical tour with a strong concentration on the history. We got a token for a $12 drink but had to pay extra if we wanted a drink not on that list. At the end of the tour we got a shot of Bacardi. I honestly don't think the cost should have been more than $50 or at least they could have given us a tasting flight of 4-5. I wouldn't take the tour again and would tell my friends NOT to.”

Tour Ron Barceló’s rum factory near San Pedro de Macorís, see aging barrels and bottling, visit the museum, and taste award-winning Dominican rum.

“Estaba yo sola en el tour, que comenzó con una cata de 3 rones en una de las bodegas de envejecimiento del ron en toneles, y continuó con un paseo por parte de las instalaciones (más bodegas, planta de embotellamiento, el pequeño y muy interesante museo acerca de la historia de la producción de ron...), y terminó en la tienda de Barceló. Por cierto, consejo: los precios del ron son allí más baratos que en cualquier otro sitio, así que no dejeis pasar esa oportunidad. El único "inconveniente": para llegar a la visita hay que ir con Google Maps, porque no hay ningún cartel ni indicación que ayude a localizar…”
