We were collected promptly from our chosen location. All the staff at Mount ********** Visitor Centre were friendly and the tour was interesting. Samples were described very well and tasted great. Food was plentiful. A thoroughly enjoyable trip. Would highly recommend.

The guide was very good. It would have been nice to have seen the distillery. I knew we would not see the rum being made but I did not realise we were only going to the visitor centre.

We were an hour late being picked up from our hotel so were rushed through the talk and the lunch was very disappointing as hardly any food was left. All in all the trip was disappointing but would imagine when handled properly it is a worthwhile trip.

Was expecting to see the distillery making rum but instead it was more museum like with a packing warehouse. But the young lady giving the tour and rum tasting was excellent, knowledgeable and whitty. We enjoyed learning about the history of Mount Gay and really enjoyed it. Lunch was also delicious. Would recommend it.

Hostess was excellent. Lunch was good. Informative and interesting. Needs to be made clear that it takes place at the visitor center in Bridgetown and not at the distillery itself

The pick-up from our hotel was late, the collection after the tour was early. It’s expensive for what was on offer.
