My husband and I loved this tour. We went in with no expectations and left impressed. We tasted a total of eighteen different rums, each with its own distinct flavor. The experience felt thoughtful and well paced from start to finish. We also enjoyed a rum punch and a guava berry colada. Learning about guava berry as the national fruit of St. Martin added a nice local touch. The food stood out. The chicken, shrimp, and ribs were each paired with three different rums, and each dish used those rums in the sauce. The ribs and shrimp were some of the best I have had. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. We ended with gelato, and some flavors were infused with rum, which was a great way to finish the experience. Cindy made the tour even better. She brought great energy, shared helpful recommendations, and kept everyone engaged the entire time. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who enjoys food, drinks, and a well-run experience. I bet you will buy at least one of the rums to bring home, and the hardest part will be picking which one!

Hats off to the manager at Toppers, thank you sir!!!! Our tour was booked through another service through our resort which left something to be desired. Everything was fixed by the manager at Toppers and the tour was terrific as well as the food!!! The tour was really interesting and informative. Our guide, Tosha (sorry if the spelling is wrong), was fantastic!!!! She kept the group engaged and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend the tour if you’re in Sint Maarten!!!!

We had a great time on our tour of Toppers!! Tour Guide Julia was fantastic in every way! My wife got to cook food for our group and all the samples and stories were perfect. Julia even checked in on us after we had dinner and helped us pick out some "souvenirs" for our return home. We found out we like Rhum, liked it a little too much!

My lovely spouse and I decided to visit Sint Maarten for my 61st BDAY. On that day, I chose Topper’s Rhum Distillery for my day of celebration. What a wise choice. We had a delightful time with Carol via the culinary tour option. She was host and provided insight about the island as well as detail knowledge about the distillery and the history of Rhum on the island. She catered to our needs with a food selection. However, I was disappointed because I expected hands-on cooking before our presence. Instead, food came from the kitchen prepared. It was very tasty. So, I did not mind. I met the chef and congratulated him on his recipe. In summary, great birthday at the distillery provided by wonderful host and Rhum. Thanks
