Review of Casa BACARDÍ’s 75-minute Puerto Rico rum tasting, with four premium pours, chocolate pairing, tram tour, tips, and value advice.
“Tour guide was terrific. She really knew her stuff. The rum tasting was great. The tour itself left alot to be desired as we just drove past a few buildings. I would have liked to walked through the buildings to see the entire process.”
Taste Bahamian rum, snacks, cocktails, and Nassau history on a three-hour small-group walking tour with John Watling’s Distillery.
“Shad truly was an amazing tour guide. His energy was contagious & created a safe space for us all to enjoy one another’s company. Truly enjoyed myself!”
See Grenada in one day with waterfalls, chocolate, rum, Grand Etang, lunch, and a local guide for $115.

Tour Topper’s Rhum Distillery in St. Maarten for 20-plus tastings, rum-making lessons, rum cake, gelato, and lagoon views.

Explore Paraty’s waterfalls by 4x4 jeep, slide at Tobogã, swim at Poço do Tarzan, and taste traditional cachaça for $37.
“the activity was very fun. The guides were very friendly, organised and talkative. The waterfalls were wonderfull also the restaurant picked for lunch was very good and the portions were huge. We were a big group (of four cara in total travelling) so in some places we had to wait a little bit longer for everybody to enter the jeeps but that's okay.”
Sip three craft rum cocktails while walking Old San Juan, learning Puerto Rico’s history with a small bilingual group and local guide.
“Lots of fun and great drinks. The best mojito you will ever have. Diego was a great tour guide. We enjoyed it.”
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.”

Explore St. Lucia through hot bakes, cocoa tea, local rum, home cooking, fruit, views, and small village stops on this food and culture tour.
“For travelers whom enjoy diving into culture of country, this tour is for you! Small groups (ours was a total of 4 people), with an immersive experience, Delvin's very personal touches (and we mean lunch at his Mom's in Kannawi [Canaries]!!), inspire appreciation for local culture, rum, and food! Bring your appetites for handmade scrumptious breakfast bakes, banana ketchup (or scotch bonnet hot sauce), dumplings and dasheen, and the unforgettable fruit sampling and fire-roasted cashews on Tony's farm (still wow'd)! We did our best not to get too knocked around with the rum, but samplings were essentially as much as you wanted to try, and the cask store house at…”
Review of Nassau’s 3-hour rum and food walking tour, with pirate history, five tastings, cocktails, a speakeasy, and practical tips.
“It was fantastic. Fix was fun and knowledgeable. Loved it!”
Tour Hacienda Santa Ana, sip four Ron del Barrilito rums, enjoy a welcome cocktail, and learn Puerto Rico’s rum story in a small group.
“Knowledgeable guide but not cost effective. Mentioned the gift shop 4-5 times. Was disappointed we had to buy a full bottle or wanted a small sampler to purchase. Very expensive and would have appreciated a charcuterie to absorb some of the alcohol.”
