Our driver Bradford was excellent. Our tour guide Sheena was also great. Overall very interesting, informative and tasty rum!
Excellent Tour the guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we understood each process down to the very last sip. I highly recommend the tour to Everybody!!!!!!!
This was a top tier immersive experience! From the moment we arrived we were instantly greeted with a warm welcome. Our guide, Sugar, handed us rum punch as we settled in. She expertly walked us through some history of Jamaica and how rum is made. As we continued to walk the grounds and see the ins and outs of the process, she allowed us to ask questions while further showing her expertise. From start to finish, this was a fantastic time and we could not recommend it enough!
The tour was fantastic! Shelly-Ann is an amazing guide. I suggest everyone to book a visit with her.
The road to the estate was in poor condition so allow extra travel time. The tour was fascinating and you see pride in the faces of staff. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience.
Steve was a wonderful tour guide. Funny, knowledgeable and welcoming! They were very generous with tastings and the Jerk Chicken lunch was very good!
Steven and Sugar were the best hosts. They both made us laugh with some jokes. The kitchen staff made excellent jerk chicken and pork! The rum was awesome and Sugar showed how to enhance it by adding different mixers! So delicious! It shows how everyone that works there enjoys their jobs... everyone is smiling and laughing.
This rum distillery has existed since 1753. Hampden is the source, not the imitation. I can’t even put it into words. Visiting this place was akin to a Catholic getting to walk freely through the Vatican archives. Steve, Peppie and Jennifer were phenomenal hosts. Steve was an incredibly knowledgeable guide - not just about the rum but also the entire history of the island. And Jennifer’s cooking was fantastic. Note: don’t use the bottled sauce on the table - ask for extra house-made sauce. And if you really want to roll local, order the jerk pork, not the chicken!
Excellent tour. Sugar (Susan) and Phillip were knowledgeable as guide and driver. It's a beautiful estate and we learned a lot about Jamaica and making rum. Definitely recommend this tour!!!
Great time. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Food was sooo good!! Ludos to Sugar the tasting specialist, she made the trip worth it.
