“This tour consisted of a short tram ride around the Bacardi plant with our guide explaining the various locations.

“This was a perfect final evening activity for myself, my sister, and my mom on our trip to Puerto Rico! It was so fun to learn about the history of Puerto Rico in general, and specifically in relation to the rum industry - both of our guides (Fabian and Danny) were incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and clearly passionate about sharing and educating us!

“They had a huge tent to sit and eat. The food was tasteful. The tour starts you off with a coin for a free drink. The tour was very informative. They had a movie room.

“Leroy was a fantastic guide and quite knowledgeable but the overall logistics were not great. A good but of time was spent just driving. The food was great. This was our most expensive excursion with our group and the least favorite- if it didn’t cost so much, maybe it wouldn’t have felt like a disappointment.”
