Amazing, must see and do - We booked the cocktail making class and the tour. When we arrived we were given a free cocktail and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our guide RJ came to take us to for a tour and tasting session. RJ was amazing and really knew his stuff. Gave us a lot of information and was amazing. After we went on to our cocktail making class, which was just as amazing. A great afternoon spent. Would definitely recommend this experience.

Disappointing and Poor Value for Money - We booked the Mount Gay Signature Rum Tour with high expectations, but unfortunately, it fell short in several key areas. The tour lasted less than an hour and consisted primarily of a 6-minute promotional film followed by a tasting of five different rums. While the tasting was informative and the host explained the differences between the rums well, that was the extent of the experience. What was most disappointing was the lack of any actual tour of the distillery, factory, or grounds—something we had reasonably expected based on the description. It felt more like a premium-priced tasting session than a full tour. For the price charged, we felt this offered very poor value for money. The company should be far more transparent and specific in outlining exactly what this tour includes to avoid misleading guests. As it stands, it felt like an expensive and underwhelming experience that we wouldn’t recommend.
