Puerto Rico · RUM DISTILLERY TOURS
The world’s largest rum distillery sits across the bay from Old San Juan, and a smaller one has been running in Bayamón since 1880. These 7 compare the tasting formats, the transport and whether the ferry across is included.
Tour Casa Bacardi in San Juan for rum history, a welcome cocktail, trolley ride, tasting, and optional mixology class.
“We loved our guide! “Rizos” aka “Curls” was very entertaining and not only brought high energy to the mixology class, but also great knowledge. All the cocktails were great, very worth while!”
Review of Casa BACARDÍ’s 75-minute Puerto Rico rum tasting, with four premium pours, chocolate, a cocktail, history, and practical tips.
“Tour guide was terrific. She really knew her stuff. The rum tasting was great. The tour itself left alot to be desired as we just drove past a few buildings. I would have liked to walked through the buildings to see the entire process.”
Tour Puerto Rico’s 1880 Ron del Barrilito estate, enjoy a welcome cocktail, and taste four rums, including the rare Cinco Estrellas.
“Tim was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about the history and the rum. Highly recommend. The cocktail at the end was icing on the cake.”
Review of San Juan’s full-day bio bay and rum tour, with El Castillo Serrallés, tacos, mountain views, sunset, and a glowing swim.
“This was terrific! Such a memorable day and evening. The guide and the boat captain were terrific. It's a lot of driving but the mountain scenery is gorgeous and the guide (driver) talks a lot about the towns you go through which is very interesting. The swimming in the bay is wonderful and so is the bioluminescent bay. Highly recommend!”
Taste five fruit-infused Pitorro shots near Old San Juan’s cruise piers, with local stories, bilingual service, and a relaxed private setting.
“Very relaxed and fun tour! Gary and Jen were very personable and gave us great attention! Great rum!”
Tour Old San Juan by van, visit Casa Bacardi, enjoy a cocktail and reserve rum shot, and learn Puerto Rico’s story in four busy hours.
“The overall experience was great. Harry was our tour guide. He was prompt and informative. He was entertaining with the information he shared with us and answered any questions we had. Then, the Bacardi tour was great as well. There the timing was a little off due to others not being on time but the staff were helpful, fun to be around, and inviting.”
Review of Boriken Flavor in San Juan, with roast pork, tropical fruit, rum, fritters, mofongo, hotel pickup, and beach time.
“Great private tour. Tanya shared a lot of great information and her love for PR. She is really passionate about showing you the off-the-beaten-path places that help support the local business. If you like roasted pork this is the tour for you. The pork highway was really something cool to see and tasted amazing. We also got to sample a variety of local fritters and got to see some great scenery. I definitely recommend this tour if you'd like to see and taste the real Puerto Rico.”
Start from a coast, a mountain road or a table.
