5.00Excellent tour, enjoyed every minute. Vera made the whole experience entertaining from the minute we walked through the door. Plus the rum was amazing … good samples and even had recommended mixers to try with each. Learned lots of new facts about the villains connected to York which inspired the rum, plus staff were all friendly and allowed us extra samples of other flavours that weren’t in the tour ….Loved it …great fun and great rum !! Bought the pack of 3 of our favourites and will definitely be buying more in the future. Catherine &Paul
Great fun!

5.00We went to the villainous rum tasting session and it was fabulous! We had such a lovely time - took my dad as a surprise and he loved it too! Was able to allow my 13 year old to tag along who loves scary stories and he loved listening. Very lovely family run business and a great afternoon if you’re in York and not driving! Would definitely recommend. The rum tasters were fabulous and we bought some honey rum which is delicious! Thankyou!
Merryness🤣😁

5.00An excellent afternoon rum tasting and getting to know the villains of York through the ages. Our guide was the wonderful Vespa (Freya) who bought the stories to life with much enthusiasm and villainy. The rum was delicious and the pours generous. Overall a well deserved 5/5
Fun way to sample some delicious rum

5.00I found this by chance on Groupon when looking for an experience in York! It was a fun way to try the different Villains rum with some of historic ghost stories along the way…it was only about 30mins in total and sampled 5 rums, mixers were available if needed! A fun experience, really nice rum & we took advantage of the 10% off at the end. Went away with a little keep sake also. It really was worth the money & left with some funny memories!
