Friendly and Authentic Rum Tasting Tour - I visited with family and we made wonderful memories. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, they did not skimp on the complimentary beverage (you get to choose from a wide variety of options), and the tour is thorough. The guide was very positive and answered questions quickly, fully and offered options. The place is quaint and worth the money invested for the visit. It is a much better value than the Bacardi Rum tour.

Great Tour - We had a great time on this tour of an old distillery. Some of the rums we tasted were over 25 years old and simply wonderful. Not for everyone but if you enjoy history and great rum, well worth the price!

Highly recommend this tour! - This was a fantastic tour! When we arrived, we were each given a token for a free cocktail at the bar while we waited for our tour to begin. The drinks were delicious! It was just my husband and I at the time, so we got our tour guide Dennis all to ourselves. He was fantastic - great to chat with, super knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
The facility was a lot smaller than I thought - really giving it a true mom and pop feel, which we loved. We learned so much about the history, the process of making rum, and how it all comes together.
After the tour, we decided to stay for another cocktail. The bartender, Pedro was amazing. He asked what kind of cocktails we like and he made both my husband and I a custom drink. They were *amazing* and right up our alley.
The gift shop is great, with lots of different options. Of course, we left with several bottles since there are much fewer limitations on bringing alcohol to the mainland US from PR.

Great rum, beautiful hacienda grounds, informative tour! - Really enjoyed the Heritage Tour. I've been a fan of Ron del Barrilito 3* as a sipping rum for years, so it was a treat to visit the hacienda and factory and learn more about how it's produced. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, and it was interesting to walk through the historic Fernández family mansion, learn about the windmill, and go inside the factory building to see the bottling line and rickhouse stacked with aging barrels. The rum old fashioned I had at the bar was delicious, and I'm glad I replenished my home supply with a new bottle of the 3*. Definitely worth the 15 min Uber ride from OSJ to Bayamón!

Not worth the money - First, excursion is 6 miles from cruise port. Taxi was $37 each way. Fifteen minutes reviewing two rooms in the owners original home. Another 15 minutes in the warehouse. You go inside visitor center and get one drink all for approx. $60. I would choose another excursion for the money.
