Real experiences from real travelers
The mixology class was worth every penny. Our instructor was hilarious and we learned how to make a proper Mojito and Daiquiri. Highly recommend booking in advance!
Even if you aren't a big drinker, the history of the Bacardi family is fascinating. The pavilion is beautiful and the welcome drink was delicious.
Took the ferry from Old San Juan which was easy. The distillery is massive. The tasting tour was a bit fast but the rums were excellent.
If you love rum, do the tasting tour. We got to try rums you can't find in stores back home. Our guide really knew the chemistry behind the aging process.
For less than $50, the legacy tour gives you a drink, a souvenir cup, and a great tour. It's the best value thing we did in San Juan.
The architecture of the pavilion is stunning. We spent an hour after the tour just enjoying the breeze and the views with another cocktail.
You can't come to PR and not visit Bacardi. It's iconic. The booking process through this site was seamless and we had no issues at check-in.
I learned so much about the difference between white and dark rums. The staff are very professional and speak perfect English.
