Beautiful Property. Interesting History - The grounds are beautiful. This is an interesting and fun tour of the grounds and Rick houses with a tasting at the end. We were happy to have gone. This is relatively short, so you can fit the tour into an already busy day.

Skip the giant factory! Choose the local craft brands! - Not sure I was on a "skip the line" tour, but we did the heritage tour, which was great--covered our interests in local culture, craft brewing & distilling, history, and artisan cocktails. I hesitate to promote this too much, because I'd hate to have it ruined. Lovely tasting bar with nice cocktail menu(too many choice!) and amazing rum! I mean, I'm usually a scotch drinker, but in PR, I'll make an exception!

Intimate tour - Marjorie, the tour guide, was excellent. Our included drink was delicious. We enjoyed the smaller more intimate feel than the tour offered at Casa Bacardi. Would definitely recommend.

Such a great tour! - The bartender at our resort recommended that we check out this small rum distillery and take the tour. We are so glad we did. The grounds are beautiful, their process of making rum is fascinating, and the tasting portion of the tour was such an education. We did the “other” rum distillery in town the next day, but there is no comparison . Sometimes, smaller is SO MUCH BETTER.

Intimate Experience With A Culturally Significant Rum - We did both the Barcardi and Ron del Barrilito tours. This one was more intimate and you get to see more of the facilities and historical house up close in person. Would recommend if you have time to visit both for different and unique experiences.

A must do in San Juan - We absolutely loved the tour with Dennis. He understood the history of the place and time. We saw the family hacienda, cask storage, bottling and more. I highly recommend going for this tour.
