Itinerary
Centro Historico Located in the facilities of Ron Barceló S.R.L. and officially identified as Licorería#50, the layout of the Historical Centre – the first of its kind in the country – is inspired by the shape of a barrique. The Ron Barceló Historical Centre was conceived to offer an immersive experience in which we invite visitors to set out on a journey along which they can discover and immerse themselves in the modern processes that take place here daily to create excellent rum, namely: ageing, processing and packaging. Visitors will thus have the opportunity to appreciate the rudimentary equipment used for the ancient production processes of alcohol, and subsequently of rum.

Excellent tour to learn more about how rum is made, mixed with premium tasting and experienced guides. It is also a very good plus to be picked up and dropped off at your hotel/Airbnb when you don't have a car. I recommend it!
Unfortunately I did not get to experience this. I contacted the company the night before. Trying to confirm. No response. I tried again the morning of. No response. I contacted viator who hosted this through TripAdvisor and they could not reach them.

Was not picked up by local tour operator so can’t rate the tour itself. Would not recommend this tour operator. A real shame as was looking forward for this tour
