We absolutely loved the tour with Dennis. He understood the history of the place and time. We saw the family hacienda, cask storage, bottling and more. I highly recommend going for this tour.

We made a last-minute decision to join the last tour of the day and were so glad we did! The staff at the distillery were very gracious and we were able to arrive, relax and even enjoy a cocktail from the bar before starting. The tour group size was ideal and the property was charming. It was so interesting to hear the stories of how it all began with the little barrel of rum! Our tour guide Rogelio was quite animated and excited about all the interesting stories of the company's past and eager to shart with us one of the four storage warehouses with thousands of barrels of rum dating back to 1952 (the oldest). Sampling the rum and purchasing some to take home topped off the evening.

Marjorie our tour guide was very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. What made this tour good is that it felt very personable, rustic, and familiar. We did not have to do a lot of walking and it was a good mix of history, family lore, and rum!

My wife and I took an Uber from the cruise ship port and enjoyed the personalized tour versus joining the cattle call of large cruise ship group. It was very relaxing and enjoyable to learn about the rum making process.
Great tour and even BETTER welcome drink! 🍹

Amazing afternoon at the Barrilito Distillery. The property is such a peaceful oasis. The history and the traditions are impressive to hear about. I toured there years ago before the official visitor’s center opened and was able to interact with the family rum makers. The tour is guided now, much more structured but also more interactive, however retains all of its authenticity. Our tour guide Valeria was very knowledgeable, a great person to get to know and a wonderful ambassador to the Distillery.
Splurge for the Rum Tasting Tour or Mixology Tour.

Rating a 5 for the Best Pina Coloda EVER - best cocktail EVER - at the bar. You get 1 token for 1 free drink. Get the Pina Colada! If you want to sample their rums, go on the other tours. Coco was our guide - lovely. Wish the gift shop sold smaller bottles of their rum. Opt for this tour over corpirate Bacardi - support local!

The Ron del Barrilito tour was a fantastic experience. The place is absolutely pristine and, unlike many other attractions, it wasn’t packed with crowds, making it all the more enjoyable. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the distillery. It’s the oldest rum in Puerto Rico. It is truly impressive to walk past rows of barrels that had dates from decades ago. The tasting was a great experience. We got to sample 4 different rums and get a better understanding of each one. We also received a token valid for a specialty drink or cocktail afterward. Just a heads-up: the drinks are strong, so make sure you’ve eaten beforehand! All in all, a well-paced, informative, and enjoyable experience. Would 100% recommend if you’re in the area, or even if you’re not. Totally worth the trip.
