Good presenter.
Appreciated the opportunity to sample and compare all the types of Rum in the tasting area.
Salespeople in bottle shop were very nice and helpful when we had questions about limits and rules about United States customs limits. They did a great job packaging our purchased Rum so it was ready to pack in a suitcase.
I didn't give 5 stars because we had difficulty hearing descriptions of the two different types of stills, and the bottles of resulting product at each step while next to the stills. Suggest presenting that inside and then allowing pictures and questions when next to stills. Also would have liked to see where the Rum barrels are stored (if on-site).

Samuel was our driver and the day was fantastic. Full of knowledge of the island, Samuel pointed out all the key landmarks of the island on the trip to the distillery.
The distillery tour was great, especially all the samples at the end 😀
Trip to the market was an extra treat to the day

Having visited other distilleries in the Caribbean had expected more from the tour. Tour of distillery lasted no more than 30 minutes and then rum tasting which was very much help yourself.
Company could make much more of the shop experience - only bottles of rum. No souvenirs or mementos. Unfortunately would not recommend this tour.

The person guiding the tour was not knowledgeable about the rum making process or did not provide guidance on proper rum tasting procedures.

Our tour guide was very informative
The tasting table with around 20 bottles to sample as much as you want at the end is outstanding

Was more of a tour than a Rum Experience, There was a tour of the Distillery but it seemed very rushed and would have been good to see the Barrel store, the Rum tasting was good with many rums available to taste.
The Distillery Shop was closed and there was no advice of this before hand.
The Tour had a stop in the city all the market and one at a smaller market on the Tour - focussed seemed more on trying to get people to spend money at these locations than the Rum Tasting which is the key headline of the experience
The tour did last quite a bit longer that advertised which was nice but making up for a lot of time spent in traffic jams

Interesting history of rum production in St Lucia. Opportunity to taste every rum produced if you so wished but it would be a bit of an effort to do that especially at about 10.30am.

We had a very friendly driver pick us up, got some sightseeing on the way and he told us a little about the history of the island which was nice. The Distillery tour consisted of a somewhat rushed explanation in person and then a video about the history. The tasting was unlimited and there were A LOT that you could sample. Not that we wanted to drink too much in the am... Then off to Castries Market where we stayed. Probably way cheaper to organise the taxi yourself but it was very convenient and easy!
