Great tour, and an amazing tasting
Great tour of the St Lucia Distillery, with some fun and interesting facts dotted throughout. Great way to understand how rum is made, as well as understanding the history of the distillery. And then chance to taste everything! Quick tip, it's cheaper to buy here directly that from most outlets.
Our driver Sheldon (again!) was awesome, advising us on how to mix some of the rums together, as well as sharing his knowledge of the Island. (it was our second tour with him, and it felt like travelling with a friend.)
A great tour if you are interested in, or enjoy drinking rum!
Operator response
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re really happy you enjoyed the rum tasting tour — it’s a fun way to learn the history and process (and the tastings definitely help 😄). Sheldon will love hearing this, especially since it was your second tour together. He really does have a way of making it feel like you’re traveling with a friend. Thanks again for touring with us, and we hope to see you back for another rum-filled adventure! 🥃

Good trip, great tour guide
We really enjoyed the experience.
Our tour guide/ driver arrived early to collect us from our hotel to take us to the distillery.
Once we arrived, we watched a short video about the history of the distillery and were then shown around the different sections of the facility to learn about the process for making rum.
We were then shown the carnival exhibition and then it was onto the rum tasting. 22 different versions of white, spiced, cream, medium and dark rums to try at your leisure.
We then headed to the shop ro purchase some rums to take home, all were carefully packaged and boxed, they were great value.
We then headed back to the hotel, stopping at some key viewing points and a local vendor to purchase some hand crafts and items.
Our tour guide/ driver was very friendly, helpful and professional, it turns out that we had similar interests in music, which made the travelling even more great, along with the bottled water and Pitons beer provided on the journey, of course.
Operator response
Thank you Claire for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad you had a great time exploring the distillery and tasting the wide variety of rums—it sounds like a fun and flavorful experience! We're also happy to hear your tour guide made the journey even more enjoyable with great conversation, shared music interests, and those little touches like refreshments and scenic stops. We truly appreciate you booking with us, safe travels back home 🙏
