5.00Winston our driver for the day was really pleasant. He was quite informative with the history of the Barbadian island and the land marks we passed on the way. He was a very careful driver as well. He explained about what we were doing when we arrived at St Nicholas Abbey plantation. We went on a steam train ride first, then had a guided tour of the house and the distillery. Megan was a really good tour guide. She was very friendly and informative. Then we had rum tasting afterwards. Then Winston took us for our lunch, which was included in the package. It was really nice and tasty. Then we went to the Mount Gay visitors centre where we watched a short video of how they make rum. Afterwards we had more rum tasting. The guide we had was really good. He was very friendly and funny and told you all about the different rums we tried. Then Winston picked us back up and dropped us off back to our hotel. I would recommend this experience and well worth the money.
Excellent example of colonial plantation inside and out rum tasing was wonderful at the abby

5.00Excellent trip. Picked up at the agreed time by Winston, he was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The rum tours were great, the Abbey had an interesting (but difficult history) with a more sedate atmosphere , whereas Mount Gay was more boisterous and fun. Highly recommended trip
Gained knowledge of Rum but also of Barbados

4.00I would have given this tour a 5 star review , however our tour guide Ryan was not a pleasant person, he seems burned out and does not enjoy tourist, either Americans or woman! Don't know which!! He was very knowledgeable and did lighten up a little after a few unfriendly words were exchanged!! He was condescending and arrogant at times! He was also in a rush with little time to shop or experience beautiful Bathsheba Beach. And it seemed like he changed up the itinerary to meet his needs and not ours. I definitely recommend this tour but with a difference tour guide!!

3.00First, 10 am means 8:15am, Driver was fantastic but ride is rough due to poor road conditions. Skip move at St. Nicholas abbey or you will not have time to sample runs and purchase. Mt.Gay tour is not as good as St. Nicholas Abbey but the tasting is better. Overall good trip but too expensive.

5.00The tour was exactly as described in the booking. Charles Marshall as our main tour guide was a lot of fun while providing us with interesting information about the island as well as delivering us punctually to each of our attractions. It was a full day that included tours by appointed guides at each destination, a quick lunch and several rum tastings. Great tour! FYI. XO rum at Mount Gay not to be missed😊

4.00Long travel (c. 45 minutes) to the Abbey. Abbey rum tour and tasting less of an experience than Mount Gay.
History, entertainment, views and rum - a great experience

5.00Well organised and nicely put together tour. Great service from informative and entertaining (& safe) driver Ryan - also didn’t rush us or leave us hanging around. St Nicholas Abbey house fascinating, great train ride and views, and then amazing to see a working distillery so close up with original machinery, and talk to the owners. Very well paired with Mount Gay, for the contrast of a very different operation, with a hugely entertaining guide for the tastings. Good lunch, nice stop at Bathsheba, and interesting to see different aspects of the island on the way. Very glad we didn’t hire a car or try to do it with taxis.
