Fantastic experience at Mount Gay Rum Tasting Tour - The tour was excellent from start to finish. There were 11 people which made it small and intimate. Tina the guide was very knowledgeable about the history, different blends. There was nothjng she did not know about the process of making Barbados rum. She was also entertaining. Again the rum tasting was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend it and will visit again.

Fun, entertaining & informative! - With a packed vacation schedule, we were looking for something to give us a "taste" of Barbados and this Mt. Gay Tasting experience checked all the boxes! Enjoyable and informative with fun facts about the history and culture of Barbados and an engaging and energetic host-not to mention the great rum!

A must do! - RJ was an incredible guide! So very interesting and such a fun tour! Make sure you book ahead, plan for 2.5 hours there and that you wear close toed shoes and a top that covers your shoulders. Book your taxi to take you home! Definitely a must do!

Rum Tasting and Cocktail making evening - The summer evening special at Mount Gay Rum was fantastic. The hosts were enthusiastic, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Included transport. We arrived to learn history of Mount Gay Rum and tasting experience. Thereafter, our favourite part was making two cocktails followed by dinner. A throughly enjoyable evening which I would highly recommend.

Could be better - The overall tour was good food excellent but, staff did not ask if we had any food allergies. (A basic question to ask) food staff were lovely but could have offered more food if anyone wanted any. I would recommend if the basics were covered as stated overall 7/10

4 for Effort - Great Tour food could be better - 4 for Effort. Tour was well executed, very educational. Lovely tour. Even better if, with all the food we are being educated about why aren't we getting to try it with the rum? Rum cake? BBQ rum chicken? Plate is too small for the food you get.
