Review of Casa BACARDÍ’s 75-minute Puerto Rico rum tasting, with four premium pours, chocolate pairing, tram tour, tips, and value advice.

Review of Gran Canaria’s rum, wine, banana and coffee tour, with tastings, mojo-making, Agaete views, transport tips and honest drawbacks.
“The lunch was very limited and didn't represent Canarian fare. There was plenty to eat, but it wasn't very interesting. We were not given mojo or pesto, that we could also have used with the bread. No butter either. Perhaps the choices could be made at the time of booking the tickets to allow people time to discern. I felt sorry for the guide who waited patiently, in the rain, whilst two people dithered and changed their minds several times before finalising their choice. I was behind them so also had to wait all that time.”
