5.00do not hesitate. This is an amazing experience. If you like room if you like fun, this is your place to be. The staff topped to bottom is amazing. The facility is well appointed. The manager went over and above to ensure that we were accommodated based on our timeline. If I go back to Barbados, I’m gonna go back here.
If you dont drink; this tour is still fun

4.00It was very interesting. Guide was knowledgeable. It wasn’t very expensive per person but I wouldn’t say it was worth the price. It included a welcome drink, fairly tasty and sweet, and at the actual tasting you try 4 rums. They give you very little to try though and nothing as a chaser. Would have been better if they had anything as a chaser, juice/fruit/something. But wasn’t too bad. Definitely bring your own chaser if you’ll need one. It’s definitely straight rum!
Vibrant experience
