• 1Very disappointing and poorly organised

  We were supposed to be picked up from our resort at 9:00am for the excursion, but there was no communication from the company. We had to speak to our resort reception, who called the number provided. We were then told that they could no longer pick us up because there were not enough people for the excursion to go ahead. I completely understand that excursions may occasionally be cancelled due to low numbers. However, informing customers only after the scheduled start time is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. We had planned our morning around this excursion and were left waiting with no information. If the excursion was unlikely to go ahead, we should have been informed at least a few hours beforehand rather than having to chase the company ourselves. Better communication and organisation would have made a big difference. Overall, a very frustrating experience and not how you would expect a booked excursion to be handled.

• 4Chill Rum Tasting

  It's a short trip but it was enjoyable, informative and relaxing. "Sammie" my guide provided a lot of information about the island, the distillery and other important information. The rum tasting was great and the guide was very informative. I didn't go the local market which could have certainly made the trip longer if desired. I would recommend for sure.

• 5Incredible Tasting Experience!

  Our visit began with a video talking about the history of rum and the distillery and then we toured the plant and learned a lot more about making rum. The last thing was a visit to the tasting room...which was like no tasting room I've ever encountered! There were two counters, each about 30 feet long, with every rum produced here. we could taste anything and as much as we wanted. Wow! I highly recommend a visit here if you like rum or you just want to learn more about it.

• 5A great tour and unbeatable rum tasting experience!

  Great trip that we’d recommend. Pre-trip booking and confirming pick-up was easy and reliable. Car arrived on schedule and got us there in good time. We had a solo tour (as a couple) which was great and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Plenty of time for photos and questions before we got to the rum tasting which was fantastic. Huge choice across the St Lucia Dostillery range, with free pour available on all rums. We were able to sample them as required, to allow us to settle on what we would buy. And the retail staff were friendly and helpful too. Our Barefoot holidays guide then stopped at the central Castries market with us so we could buy a few bits there. If you like rum then the Distillery tour is a must and Barefoot arrange the trip really well. Thanks guys!

• 3An ok experience

  A pretty ok tour for those who like trying local rums with a few caveats. Tour did not show the sugar cane crushing process and the tasting room lacked guidance and left questions up to customers rather than having a nice sit down experience with someone walking you through the background on each rum etc. if you have been to Barbados, the rum tours there were much more informative
