A great visit to the distillery - A really interesting visit and our guide was excellent, providing an English version of the commentary which was most informative. A lovely place, really nice people and well worth a visit.

Very interesting and instructive experience - The visit was really very interesting. The guide is very engaging and helpful with any questions. The place is surrounded by nature, which the same distillery safeguards as important for its production. I highly recommend it.

Merci Arnaud - Hi, Kate. Very nice distillery. I had the pleasure of making 2 other distilleries in Guadeloupe. DBM remains my favorite. Simply by Arnaud's explanations and the site itself. Clean, water points to quench your thirst Well yes it is hot at home. Tasting with explanations.... in short to come without hesitation. Namely that Arnaud guides him, has an amplifier which allows the last to hear. Thanks to you.

Wonderful tour and an exceptional guide! - Lydie was our wonderful guide on this very interesting tour. She held our interest throughout, and happily answered all our questions, both in English and in French. We learned a lot about the history and process of rum making in Guadeloupe and we enjoyed tasting the three different types of rum at the end of the tour. We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the islands.

Must-see - I was lucky enough to discover the Bonne-Mère distillery thanks to this great visit. The latter, made by Lydie, our guide, was as interesting as it was amazing. Lydie guided by her passion and professionalism allowed us to discover more about the world of rum, a world directly linked to local culture. I recommend this visit which allowed me to discover a world that was unknown to me but very surprising and interesting. That’s why this visit is made for a person who loves rum as well as for a person who does not really know this environment. Since the tour is made simultaneously in French and English, it is therefore available to everyone. Finally, the final tasting was very nice. We were able to have explanations about the precise tastes of the different rums and the origin of the different tastes and scents of them. All in a friendly and friendly atmosphere. This distillery is really a must when you come to Guadeloupe.
