Our tour guide Cori was wonderful. She kept us entertained and was so knowledgeable about the various tiers of Bacardi Rum. She gave us the history of the rum making process and the family heritage. I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Nice vibe and drinks on drinks on drinks. Tour guide Correa was THE BEST and the tour was fun and informative. Make a day of it…eat at their cafe, drink a few mojitos and enjoy the tour. Then drink some more. Luis makes the best Pina Colada’s 🍹

Rum tour x2!

Kay_T, May 2023

This was my second time on this tour and I’d do it again! Arnoldo was an awesome guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, and authentic. Congrats in advance on your graduation! You’ve got this! Can’t wait to come back for round 3 in the future! The only thing that was better on the first tour I took in 2022 was that we got a taste of the Limitado and to visit another part of the facility which is now under construction to get that taste. I understand we can’t go into that area anymore until construction is finished but since the tour is the same price we should still get to have a sip of the Linitado. I was looking forward to it and told my friends they’d get a sample of 5 rums and one chocolate. Not 4.

Good Rum

Tameka_M, May 2023

Arnold was a great host, he was very knowledgeable about the history of rum making in the Bacardi family & had a good personality.

Alo is the BEST

Andrew_J, May 2023

Our guide, Alo, was AMAZING!! She was energetic, funny, and engaging. She made the entire experience and is the reason we are giving this 5 stars. We had taken a tour of Casa Bacardi a little over 10 years ago and enjoyed the old version more. The rum was good, but the experience seemed a bit short and there wasn’t much to actually see. The previous tour was more in depth, there were more rums and cocktails to sample, and even the gift shop had greater variety.

The tour that should not be named

Josue_V, May 2023

We did not get to do the tour. The staff mixed up our rum tasting tour for the legacy. Once they noticed the error, the stuff only wanted to catch us up with the tour guide that had keft 30 minutes prior. Horrible experience, if you decide to fo, be warned, a d double check what tour the staff gives you upon check-in.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for writing and we are sorry for the mix-up, we are only human, and we attend a lot of people at once, our amazing hosts work relentlessly to offer the best customer service every day. Feel free to reach out to me at casabacardi@bacardi.com for your future visit and we will make it up to you. Cheers!

Jennifer_J, May 2023

We had a fabulous time with our host Omar at Casa Bacardi! We see his passion! He is knowledgeable and very funny! We would absolutely recommend Casa Bacardi as a place to go!

Good experience

Jordan_O, May 2023

Nice experience tasting different rums and getting educated on how it is processed and made. Never knew the full process but it seems to be difficult and no batch is made the same

Rum delicious

Fun Info

The guidance during the tasting was great but all the information about the family, the company, the rums, and all their history made it that much better.
