Review of Casa BACARDÍ’s 75-minute Puerto Rico rum tasting, with four premium pours, chocolate, a cocktail, history, and practical tips.

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!”

“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.”

“Nous étions seulement deux, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus spéciale. Nous avons eu droit à une visite du Vieux San Juan très intéressante, suivie d’un cocktail gratuit à la distillerie. Le guide a été attentionné tout au long de l’activité et a même eu la gentillesse de nous ramener directement à notre Airbnb à la fin. Une expérience intime, enrichissante et très bien organisée !”
