A group of 4 of us did this rum tasting, and we all had a great time. Mikey was very friendly, funny, and outgoing as he led us through the hour tasting/mixology. He started off with some history about rum running and Nassau, a lot of which I did not know and enjoyed hearing about. The speakeasy itself had a nice atmosphere and definitely added to the experience. We all made a Bahama Mama, and even though we were running out of time, we didn't feel rushed to finish our drinks. We would've gone back to the speakeasy on a night that it was open (Mikey invited us back and gave us the code to get in), but we sadly ran out of time. Apparently, they set out some board games for people to play.
FABULOUS!

Jason was amazing! Highly recommend this tour when in Nassau. Perfect mix of history of the island and the part rum played in that history. Some of the best rum I’ve tasted and the speakeasy was such a cool way to end the tour.
Great Tour & Great Guide

Fox took us on the rum runners tour, we had so much fun. Fox is full of knowledge about the island & his friendly nature made the tour extra special. Fox took great care of the group especially during and after the cocktail making. Definitely recommended!

Spectacular excursion. Jason was a perfect guide, rum tasting was a delight, loved the history of the area, and the mixology was a great way to end it. Do yourself a favor and skip the beach, avoid the normal tourist spots, and try this delightful tour.

Jason is an excellent tour guide. I absolutely enjoyed my time touring with him. I appreciated his passion for the history and sharing with me. I highly recommend anyone to request Jason for the John Watling’s rum tasting. You will not be disappointed.
