5.00Did the history and tasting tour today. It was brilliant. Our excellent guide Viciousness was funny and gave the York History with an excellent performance making it a real bonus. The rum was all very good with the honey one being our favourite. If you are in York and want a great activity this is it. Thank you all.

5.00We went for a rum tour & tasting and felt that it was a really enjoyable experience. Violet really brought the villains to life with their story telling and engagement, you get to try several rums whilst you're there too and nothing seems to be too much for them. I would definitely recommend it if you're a rum fan (if you're a gin fan, maybe try elsewhere!)
Witty engaging entertainment by Sarah, great stories and terrific rum thrown in! What's not to like??

5.00Absolutely amazing! For a small fee of £25 you can enjoy Vita dragging you through a timeline of unpleasant people before press ganging you to commit to a lifetime of villainy while giving you 5 .... or was it 6?!?! fantastic rums that were quite possibly some of the best I've tasted. An interesting experience of around half an hour in a cosy and cool setting. Strongly recommend visiting before the Authorities catch up with her!!
A great way to spend an hour.

5.00This was way better than I expected, Vita the "tour guide" really made it a fun and entertaining experience. We also got to taste half a dozen different shots of flavoured Rum. I would definitely recommend a visit.

5.00Fun and engaging way to pass some time, taste good rum, have a few laughs and learn about some of the villains in the York area. We stumbled across the tour because we wandered into the shop, so we weren't sure what to expect, but it was a really fun way to pass some time and the woman leading the session was so good, funny, informative and really engaging. The stories are great, and the rum even better
