"On the outskirts of the working class barrios of Cataño, Puerto Rico, lies an oasis for the discerning cocktail sipper, the Casa Bacardí. Inside the giant iron gates, adorned with the distinctive bat emblem, the world’s largest Bacardí distillery looks more like an exclusive country club. The lush manicured lawns and tropical palms, decorated with modern art sculptures, provide the perfect canvas for the beautiful Art Deco “Cathedral of Rum” building. The journey to the Casa is worthwhile, with tours around the distillery where over 100,000 liters of rum are produced every single day. Beginning at the docks of the old Spanish colonial city of San Juan, the Lancha de Cataño ferry service takes you across the Bahía de San Juan for just 50 cents. Upon disembarking at Cataño docks, you will find an old-school shuttle service to the Casa Bacardí for just three dollars. Despite being one of the worlds largest brands, Bacardí is still a family-run company. Founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, a Spaniard who immigrated to Cuba in 1830, created a unique method of distilling rum that turned it from the drink of choice for Royal Navy tars into a refined spirit. Today, Bacardí is made almost identically according to Don Facundo’s original secret process of fermentation, distillation, and charcoal filtration. His first distillery in Cuba opened in 1862. The building’s rafters were home to a family of fruit bats, from which he created the distinctive Bacardí logo. Though Don Facundo’s eldest son was imprisoned and eventually exiled from Cuba during the Independence Wars of the 1890s, the postwar introduction of Coca Cola to Cuba by US troops produced one of the world’s simplest and most popular mixed drinks: the Cuba Libre!, or rum and Coke (with a slice of lime). As Bacardí grew more successful, further factories were opened in Mexico and Puerto Rico. But the Cuban unrest of the 1960s saw the Bacardí family leave Cuba for good, bringing their distillery in Puerto Rico to the fore. Today, tours around the elegant, leafy Casa Bacardí show some aspects of the secret distillation process, and a well-appointed museum features examples of the very first Bacardí bottles, along with some of the hundreds of medals won by the brand. The tour concludes with an outdoor bar where samples of Don Facundo’s historic rums can be enjoyed. The highlight of a visit to the Casa Bacardí, however, is the distilling building itself—one of the most glorious examples of tropical Art Deco architecture to be found anywhere in the Caribbean." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

"Taste the Rums of Puerto Rico Sugar cane and rum are big business on Puerto Rico . Locals love piña coladas, mojitos, coquitos (the Puerto Rican version of eggnog), and daiquiris—all of which are made with rum. Don Q and Bacardi both offer tours—complete with tastings—that will transport you back to the romance of early 1900s Puerto Rico. At Casa Bacardi in Cataño, just outside San Juan, you can watch a documentary about sugar cane, the rum-producing process, and the Bacardi family; study old letters and furniture; smell diverse rums in their barrels; and watch a mixing demonstration. Casa Don Q in Old San Juan invites you to read about the rum-making process, and listen to an explanation about different Don Q rums and how to mix them. Miller/Flickr."

The Rum tasting tour was a great time. Staff were very knowledgeable and entertaining. The whole process felt like a mini vacation. They have beautiful grounds. Overall it’s a great place to visit and enjoy some delicious rums.

If you like dark liquor this is the spot to visit. Their liquor goes down smooth. They have an outdoor layout where the bar is set up under a massive open layout cabana style building. The palm trees and the crisp green grass make you feel like you're in liquor paradise. The baristas and bartenders are super friendly, warm, and welcoming. The Bacardi tour is nice and they take you around their casa Bacardi campus and explain how it's made while you sit in their comfortable extra large limousine golf carts. We did a Bacardi tasting which I recommend. They tour guide explains each liquor in detail and each one is scrumptious. Casa Bacardi is where the party's at! Highly recommend going here.

We took the Founders Tour today with Valerie! Absolutely loved it. She is so energetic and fun and made the tour such a great experience! She was also able to answer questions at the end. Thanks Valerie for a great experience!

Unfortunately, our experience at Casa Bacardí was disappointing. Our tour reservation was canceled just two hours before without an explanation , which was especially frustrating since we had already taken a 30-minute Uber ride to get there just to be informed that it was due to no tour guides that spoke English . While we were given a complimentary drink, it didn’t make up for the inconvenience or the missed experience. We were really looking forward to the tour, so it was a letdown overall.

I arrived at Casa Bacardi, no wait was immediately checked in. One thing I will say…. It is so important to ARRIVE ON TIME!!! The staff was very accommodating and friendly, they give a good amount of liquor for the premium tasting tour. Maria did our tour, she was very informative, and gave us a new found love for BACARDÍ. I really enjoyed myself. I learned a lot, and the facility is extremely clean and definitely photo friendly. Once again ARRIVE early. don’t be that person that gets misses the tour.🫶🏽

We had such a great time here! We arrived early to take pics, and get our welcome drink. Our guide Alexandria was really nice and made the experience fun. We purchased the mixology class tickets in advance and it came with a mini tour of the facility without purchasing the $40 tour separately. We will definitely be back!

Casa BACARDÍ is amazing! I loved the tour, and I loved learning how the Bacardi fruit bat means good fortune and family union because I felt like unity among family is exactly what my family and I needed at that time we went, so the place was perfect for us! The area is also Heavenly Beautiful! Without doubt I recommend going! Have a great day!❤️😃🦇

THIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! I visited here with my partner for my birthday to do the Mixology Class! It was such a thrill. I had such an amazing time here learning and exploring Casa Bacardi! This is definitely a must visit when ever you're in PR.

Gabriela did a great job on our Legacy Tour. She was interactive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Casa Bacadi is full of rich history, great rum, relaxing environment, and friendly staff. I highly recommend the visit.

We didn't stay long at Bacardi, but enjoyed the exact experience we wanted. The tours cost a little more than what we had budgeted, so we decided to sidle up to the bar and get a flight of rum. The bartender walked us through each pour, and we had a very nice time doing that, making a great alternative option to a full tour. While we sipped pina coladas, we gazed upon the beautiful grounds. Coming from Kentucky, and bourbon country, it was very different to be at a rum distillery. That said, the people were just as friendly as in KY, but also excited to be at this historic site. As a bonus, they have a fully marked menu and good food! I very much enjoyed our pork dish. I highly recommend going to Bacardi, even if you don't do a tour. It's a pretty cool visit. Also - make sure you think about how you get here! We took an Uber, which was easy and fairly inexpensive in the morning from Condado.

If you're thinking about taking the Bacardí tour in Puerto Rico -- don't. This was one of the most underwhelming and poorly handled experiences I've ever had on a distillery tour, and it left a bad taste in every sense of the word. Before I scheduled a tour, I called at least 4x times with no answer talk to the gal at the guest services and she had attitude saying that they only respond via email, which is really strange for our corporation, especially if someone has questions regarding whether kids can come which we ended up finding out that they weren't so my nephew needs to wait for 2 1/2 hours with their mom since there's really not much to do out there besides a measly gift shop. Let's get into the actual tour .... The most shocking moment happened before the tour even started. Three paying guests, who had been waiting since 11:30 a.m. for our 3:30 p.m. tour, were suddenly and very publicly kicked out. It was completely unnecessary, humiliating, and showed a complete lack of professionalism or respect. Instead of resolving things quietly or calmly, Bacardí staff chose to escalate the situation and make a scene in front of the rest of us -- it was uncomfortable and frankly, disgraceful. The tour ended up being about 15 minutes late. Honestly, they should've checked to see names before people boarded the little Trolley because they had a check if I was on the list and they didn't email me the receipt. But the girl did remember me as she sold me the tickets it just how it handled was so professional. As for the tour itself, it is absolutely not worth the $40 price tag. Not that this is pricey for a standard tasting, but just wasn't worth a wait or to put up with the service! The tasting only includes one welcome drink token for basic drinks and not the other cocktails that were $14 which they didn't clarify. And the actual tour only included 1/2 oz pour of their reserve -- barely enough to sample! You don't see much of the actual rum-making process, and there's little opportunity to ask questions or connect with the brand in any real way. Compared to other distillery or winery tours I've done ( and I've done quite a bit ... Heineken, Jameson, Guinness, Johnny Walker and a bunch of brewery and wineries etc....) Bacardí falls far below expectations. It feels like a corporate production line, with zero warmth or hospitality. Definitely skip this tour and spend your time and money elsewhere.

With the wide range of tasting and tour options, we were really excited to choose what was best for us and what we wanted from our visit to Casa Bacardí! We opted to do the Rum Tasting Tour, which included a guided tour of the grounds, and the opportunity to learn about the history of Bacardí while tasting/sampling 4 different types of rum and some chocolate. It was a really interactive rum tasting, with lots of opportunity to ask questions about all things rum. We were a pretty big tour group, but this didn't take from the experience at all - if anything it made it better! I would definitely recommend this as something to do on a visit to San Juan! Whether you're traveling solo, a group trip, a baecation... This will be a great activity at add to the itinerary.

This was on my to-do list while visiting Puerto Rico and I'm happy we got to experience their legacy tour. Now I know how to properly say "Bacardi". The price was around $40 to learn about the legacy and history of Bacardi and where it came from. I felt like I had a better understanding and learning of this family owned business. This experience made me like Bacardi a bit more than I already did. Plus their property grounds is so cool just to hangout and enjoy the bar. Looks of area to take pictures in and just enjoy your time. You can even buy a bottle of Special Bacardi, pour it yourself, and have your name engraved on it. Like I mentioned, I'm glad I tried it once, I don't need to try it again. Personal Review: 7.1/10

Pros: tour and drinks Cons: no one return phone calls, out of a lot of specialty items Food sold was ok. Almost everything is fried. Drinks and tour were nice. Tasting was fun. Gotta check it out one time.

This was a last minute stop, as the weather going to cooperate with our original plans. Did the mixology class and it was so much fun. We're so happy we booked this. We got brief history about Bacardi and about the cocktails we were making. The instructor made it so much fun. Now I'm a mojito pro. Highly suggest as a must do while on the island.

Kimberly W.

Yelp
This is actually my second visit to both the island and Bacardi. Obviously, I liked it enough to return. On the first visit, I just did the tasting, but this visit, I took the Mixology Class. They try to make getting there pretty easy, but if you're coming on your own from the cruise port, be mindful of the time. If you buy tickets through the BACARDÍ site, they tell you which ferry you should take to make it in time, and you need to follow this because the ferry is infrequent and then you need to hop a shuttle to the factory. Also, try to leave time before or after your tour to visit the food booth by the rest rooms. Great Mofongo. Onto the visit itself, friendly tour guide and host/teacher for the class. The extent of my bartending skill is grabbing a can from a fridge. But the instructor here did a great job of explaining everything, and I was actually impressed by the two drinks I made. You get one full size drink at the visitor's center with the ticket and then you make two full sized in the class, so I was probably a bit too relaxed on my schedule and got back to the ship later than I intended. One other suggestion I will make is to get the exclusive bottle of rum. You can dip it and engrave the bottle for an extra charge, which is cool, but even without it, it's good rum and has a nice box that it comes in.

Casa Bacardi WAS AN EXPERIENCE I'D TRY over and over again. The excitement starts from the moment you enter the premises and you're greeted by the rum factories in the background, the beautiful grounds, amazing bar a few steps away from check-in, and the tour buses lined up to show you around. After checking-in, we were given a complimentary drink to which we paid a few dollars extra to order a flavored mojito. The drink was refreshing, not too strong but a good way to sample their rum. Next, we boarded the bus with Julie (I truly hope that's her name because she was excellent) She was funny, informative, and the best hostess for the mixology class-she was a great time! After making a traditional mojito and learning the essentials of rum pairing, I walked away ready to stack up my bar with a few bottles and host some game nights lol Definitely worth the experience!

I did the Legacy Rum Tasting Tour here, which was $80 a person. When you check-in, they hand you a Bacardi coin which you can use to get a free Bacardi cocktail when you arrive. I recommend coming a little earlier before the tour so you can enjoy your cocktail, take pictures with the Bacardi mural and sign, and/or use the restroom. The first part of the tour is on a trolley ride around the distillery campus. Then we actually enter into one of the Bacardi buildings, where they discuss the history and legacy of the founders of Bacardi and the distillation process and ingredients used. They mention that the fruit bat is the logo since there were many fruit bats above the first distillery building. Also, fruit bats were a symbol of fortune, healthy, and family stability. Towards the end of the tour, we did a rum tasting of their various bottles, including the Bacardi Reserva Ocho, a limited edition bottle. After the rum tasting, they end the tour at the gift shop where you can purchase Bacardi rum, apparel, and even customized a bottle of Bacardi.

This was a fun experience! I wanted to have an activity on deck for what looked to be a mostly rainy day, so figured rum tasting would be a good option. Since I planned this a bit last minute, we were happy that there were tickets available for one of the Saturday afternoon tastings. We added on to the package so that it included ferry and shuttle transportation which was super convenient. However, once realizing the ferry costs around $.50, you the reality of this not really being a "deal" was felt...however, still convenient as an add on! When we arrived, we checked in and were given our arrival token for a signature cocktail that we could sip while waiting for our tour to start. A staff member then got on the mic when our tour was about to begin and rounded us up. We hopped into the tour carts and were on our way to view the property and learn more about the history and process of making Bacardi rums. For someone that was pretty indifferent about Bacardi, I gotta give it to our tour guide, Ana (Anais) - she was bubbly, funny, professional and I was actually so much more interested in all the details and history than I expected.It gave us great context in terms of Bacardi's relationship to the island as well as it's origins. We then were taken to the tasting room where the rums we would be sampling were all ready prepped and sitting in front of our seats. There was also plenty of water on hand, so we took advantage of that as well. The tasting was fun! We learned a lot and as we progressively went up in caliber of rum, we enjoyed each one more and more. Overall, this was a fun way to spend the afternoon!

We spent NYE on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. We purchased tickets online for the Bacardi MIXOLOGY CLASS. The tour includes one welcome cocktail and a guided tour bus to the Visitor Center. During the class we were able to do a step by step walk through of two cocktails. We added on the ferry pass at checkout. Ferry is located a few steps from cruise area. Tour rating: 100/10. we enjoyed EVERY single moment PRICE: $80.00 + tax | Duration: 75 minutes Our tour guide was very lively and made the experience enjoyable.

Had such a great experience at the tour. Definitely recommend it. We chose the tour that was right for us and we received a complementary drink token to redeem at the bar. Everyone's drinks were delicious. I enjoyed the Mojito. We enjoyed some snacks from the CuchiFrito window and began to tour. William was our tour guide he was very informative and pleasant to have the experience with. He showed us how to smell the room and how to taste it properly and explained the aging process .

Scott D.

We did the tasting tour; our tour guide Rogelio was fantastic. The pre tour cocktail was very good, I got a Cuba Libra; Richelle got a grapefruit based cocktail she did not like. The tour was on a trolly, no walking in the warehouse or up close to the distillery activity. The tasting tour is where you get to try 4 different runs, one that is only sold at casa Bacardí. Rogelio was energetic and knowledgeable about all things rum. Laser engraving of a bottles is available too. If you go and see a stave Christmas tree, that was Richelle's idea for Casa Bacardí to use inspired by Kentucky distilleries around the Christmas season.

If I could give this place a million stars? I WOULD! I kept hearing so many great things about the Mixology Tour and that I NEED to check them out while in Puerto Rico. I am so glad I listened! I did the tour on my birthday and this was the highlight of my day! Will was my tour guide and he was SO entertaining and knowledgeable. I learned so much history about this beautiful place. The first part is him taking us around the factory. The second part of the tour was when we got to make drinks and what an experience! We got to make two drinks and I felt so confident with his directions. Will is an amazing tour guide I can't stop raving about him. This is a must while in San Juan you will not be disappointed!

We did the legacy tour of the Casa Bacardi completely spontaneously. We showed up and they slotted us within the next 10 mins for a tour. Looking it up, it was #4 on Viator's list of things to do in Puerto Rico which gave us perhaps too high expectations going it. We went on a short trolley ride with a free drink we each got to see the exterior of a handful of buildings. Then we watched a mini video on the history of bacardi, then saw some historical artifacts of bacardi, saw replicas of the rum process to learn about how it's made, then went to a cuban inspired bar area where we tried a couple sips of an expensive rum. I was hoping to actually see into the buildings and the process in action so was a little disappointed that we only got to see the outsides and a replica of the process. But our guide Itsy's energy and enthusiasm was contagious and made us enjoy the experience more

Definitely a tourist focused space, but such a good one! Our tour which involved a cocktail class was amazing! This area is beautiful, well crafted, and all of the staff were wonderful. We got to tour the facilities, learn the history of Casa Bacardi, and enjoy tasty cocktails before and during our class! Highly recommend booking this tour directly and supporting this business. Come ready for fun! Additionally, while you wait for your tour you can enjoy their bar and outdoor patio games. Loved getting to enjoy this experience and got our own personalized bottle from Bacardi on our honeymoon!

We did the distillery tour at Casa Bacardi since we love Bacardi! You get a welcome token which is good for one drink and you can upgrade it if you want! This area is so nice and it looks like they're expanding since they were doing some construction. We loved the tour, you learn a lot of how Bacardi is made which is super cool! The tour guide was awesome! The tasting was also fun and the chocolate at the end was delicious!

We had a great time on the Bacardi Legacy tour, which is approximately 50 minutes. We started off with a cocktail, you have 4 choices included in the tour and can pay an upcharge for some others (pina colada, strawberry daiquiri). We learned that Bacardi started out in Cuba before ending up in Catano. .We learned about how they make the rum, why the Bat was chosen as their logo. .At the end we got to taste the 8 year reserve rum.

Carlos C.

Yelp
Super cool experience! My second time on the island and made my way over to do this. Took advantage of the basic tour which is $40 and includes one cocktail prior to the tour and a rum taste during the tour. My tour guide Cristian was awesome; super knowledgeable and entertaining. They have other experiences which involve mixology and further rum tasting. All a good time for sure.

Bobbi C.

Yelp
Great tour with our guide Esther. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We took the Legacy Tour which is the most basic tour of the distillery. Upon arrival we checked in and received a free drink token and could use that for various drinks. I chose the Mojito and it was delicious! I would recommend visiting this at least once in you're in the San Juan area. You can take the ferry from San Juan to Catano and Casa Bacardi is only 2 miles away. They do have buses that shuttle to the location but I'm not sure how much it costs. We had a rental car so we just drove.

This experience was so much fun! I definitely recommend. They give you one free drink with your tour purchase so you can't go wrong. The bar and bartenders are great!

I experienced Casa Bacardi with two friends on Wednesday, May 29 as the excursion for our girls trip. We paid for the Casa Bacardi Experience mixology class on their website that morning around 11:45 AM for their 3:15 PM class. The Casa Bacardi website asks that guests arrive 30 minutes early to ensure that a smooth check in and to get the included welcome beverage token prior to the start of the tour. We missed our chance to book the Wednesday 1:30 PM class and 5 PM class the day before trying to reserve it closer to the start time. Because of this, my advice is to try to book your desired class slot at least 3 hours prior to the class start time if you do not wish to do it days in advance. This is not an excursion that you should try to secure or attend at the last minute, because the mixology class is set up for a certain amount of people and you don't want to rush to get there, especially if you desire to use transportation through them with their bus and the Cataño ferry add on. The cost was $89.20 per person with tax without Casa Bacardi's $15 per person transportation add on. The uber roundtrip was less for three of us to split than the their transportation add on cost per person. We ubered there from Old San Juan and rode the Cataño ferry back on our own (after being dropped off by uber at the Cataño ferry stop), since we wanted to ride the ferry and have dinner in Old San Juan, after the class. The ferry runs once per hour, so Uber was the best option to ensure an on time arrival. We arrived about 25 minutes early. Check in was smooth. We received an overview of what to expect once we went to the welcome desk. It included a colored wristband and the staff gave us each a welcome drink token that we could use before or after the class. We opted to redeem the tokens before the class and we were able to choose from three drinks (daquari, mojito, and cuatro punch) or you could pay extra for another specialty drink. We took a few pictures and then it was time for our tour of Casa Bacardi and the class. Alejandra was our tour guide and mixology teacher. She was funny and knowledgable. First, we rode this trolly-like vehicle around the place and she gave us the history of Bacardi and their location. Next, we went to our Bacardi mixology class and learned how to make two cocktails. The class was fun and interactive and we left feeling GOOD. Lastly, we ended in the gift shop where you could buy the rum, mixing tools and merch. Overall, it was a fun experience. I am glad we did it.

Loved this experience. We went for the legacy tour which was by their open car explaining the history of Bacardi. Also included a complentary rum shot. And the cocktail was amazing with green service. We had to pay a little more around 4.5$ for signature cocktail. Totally worth it!

Took a trip to PR and highly recommend you check out the Casa Bacardi Experience. Our tour guide Violeta aka "Purple" was phenomenal, she really made the entire tour memorable. Her energy was radiant! They give you a tour of the entire facility. It holds a capacity of about 96 Super Bowls. You get a whole rundown of the rum making process from the fermentation to the aging of the rum. You take a trolley around the entire facility. The cocktail making class is inside Casa Bacardi. You get to make 2 cocktails that are rum based and start off with a shot. Each cocktail was delicious. After making the cocktails you get to go to the gift shop which has a variety of Bacardi bottles and souvenirs. Outside of Casa Bacardi there is a bar where you can get another cocktail with a token they provide. All the drinks were delicious. I truly recommend you check out this wonderful experience.

We went to Casa Bacardi / Puerto Rico with our two littles, so we couldn't do the Bacardi tour - but we still wanted to visit this place and experience the vibe. It was a perfect day, beautiful sky and breezy atmosphere. We got a couple appetizers to share. Cocktails were delicious and it was fun to see the pride and time the bartenders took to make these cocktails. We will be back for a tour experience one day!

Booked a tour for the distillery in Puerto Rico. The distillery and cmon areas were very clean. The tour guide Edwin was amazing. A very good speaker and had great jokes too. He made this tour very special, fun, and informative. I would highly recommend this tour.

AC was on high in the mixing class! But there was hooks for your bag which was very nice! The gift shop was cute and the tour guide who was also our teacher, was friendly and easy going. The bartender at the waiting area was funny and good at making drinks. We were tipsy and had a good time.

This place was really fun to visit. Got off a cruise ship and walked a short distance to the PR ferry which took us to Cataño. Once we got off the ferry, we got on the Casa Bacardí bus which took us to the distillery. The grounds are beautiful. We checked in, got a wristband and a token for a free drink. The free drink covered drinks up to $10. If you wanted a drink that was more than $10, you paid the difference. My husband got the Cuba Libre and I got a strawberry slush (more than $10). We both liked our drinks. The slush was really sweet. We paid for the legacy tour and it was okay. I wish we could go inside so of the buildings. The tram took us around and the tour guide Arnold gave a lot of great info. We loved the part where we got to go inside and see the office area and learn how the rum is distilled. We got a chance to taste a special reserve rum, so that was fun as well. We would recommend this to everyone we know as something fun to do while in San Juan.

Came here on a Saturday, the Factory is very easy to get to! The check in process was easy and quick. They gave us a token that allowed us to have a free drink! The bartenders were really friendly and the.Daiquiri was amazing. Our host was Christian, he made the tour and experience so fun and was so lively the whole time! The class was easy to follow along with his instructions, and he'd come and check on everyone to make sure everything was going good. The drinks tasted super good, then after you're lead to a gift shop with a lot of Bacardi souvenirs! It was $80 for the mixology class! I definitely think it was worth it, I'd recommend this class to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!

I felt I had to visit Casa Bacardi on my trip to Puerto Rico. While it was enjoyable I felt the legacy tour was a bit overpriced for what it was. For $40 it was about 45 minutes total, which included a guided ride around the property then a walk through a building with an explanation of their different types of rum and history. It did include a drink from the bar and a rum tasting of their special reserve that they only sell on the property, which made it a little more worth it. The tour guide was funny but I had hoped to see more of the rum making process in their facilities. The bar area was very nice and bartenders made delicious drinks! They give you a coin to redeem for one of the complimentary drinks which included a mojito and rum & coke but you can upgrade your cocktail for $4. There was also food available! I would recommend booking in advance!

We did a tour of the Bacardi distillery as an excursion through Carnival Cruise Lines. Overall the experience was great - but didn't see as much of the rum making process or behind the scenes as we would have hoped for. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and grounds are beautiful!

We did the mixology class and tour and it was a blast! Our guide/teacher Edwin was super hilarious and made the experience memorable and fun. First, after our complimentary drinks, we received a brief tour as we rode in a shuttle bus around the grounds. Then we went into a classroom that was set up so nice with everything we needed to be mixologists! We were able to make two cocktails with Edwin's instructions and they came out delicious. We also got to toast with our classmates. It was a great experience for my husband's birthday and we both enjoyed it so much! I would definitely recommend the mixology class if you want something fun, hands on, and informative during your PR trip!

What an experience! The drinks and food are exceptional and the Mixology class was fun and entertaining. Ed was a perfect tour guide and the welcome drinks prepare you for your activities

We visited for the cocktail making class. From the moment we arrived we had a blast. The outdoor pavilion are where you receive your welcome cocktail and wait for your tour to start is the best. It is relaxing and has plenty of room for sitting or playing cornhole or giant jenga. During the tour there is a brief history of the rum and Bacardi and some private reserve tasting. Then the class starts. Two cocktails are taught: mojito and pina colada. The instructor was very energetic and fun to follow along with. All supplies were prepared before we arrived and the stations were all filled with other guests. Everyone seemed to enjoy being there as much as we did. At the end you can return to the pavilion to enjoy more cocktails (if you choose). It was a lot of fun and we recommend.

We really enjoyed this tour in PR last year. It is a popular tour for tourists. The staff at Bacardi are very welcoming and anxious to please their guests. After signing in, we were given a wristband for ID, a coin each for a free drink, and shown to a tram that drove us to the correct building. We chose the tasting tour, which was $50 apiece. We enjoyed the rum tasting and distillery tours very much. The drinks that the Mixologist made for us were very good! We relaxed on comfortable seating and chatted with other tourists while sipping our drinks. We got to see where the distillery and barrels were kept and watched a video. It was worth it. There is also a gift shop, where you can also buy Bacardi to take home, which we did. This is a fun excursion to make while in PR.

This is such a fun stop when you're in Puerto Rico! Came here when we stopped on our cruise. Real easy to navigate. You hop on a ferry that's right next to the port and there is a shuttle bus provided by Barcardi that drops you off right at the entrance! The Bacardi place is beautiful. Looks so modern and airy! You're introduced to the employees at the check in desk who give you a wrist band according to the tour you booked. They also hand you a coin that is good for one drink at the bar. I opted for the mojito and it was delicious! We did the mixology tour and omg it was sooooo much fun!! When I tell you I laughed,,,, I mean I LAUGHED. We had such a great time. They showed us how to make our own mojito and piña colada and gave us a sample of their reserve rum. Really cool experience! And we were definitely buzzed after that!

The tour was not what I expected. It's mostly rum tasting and that is what you pay for. You take a quick circle outside the buildings and never go in. You then go into a room to cool off before you got to the tasting room. The rum was good and the guide gave you a very long description of each one. That is what takes time. Otherwise you can be in and out within 45 minutes. There is a good and inexpensive snack bar and a nice gift shop as well.

No food was served Service was okay. When my friends and I got to the desk, they asked for your ID and put a wrist band on and gave us some tokens to use after our tour. They told us to head to the trolly where we did the tour. The service was okay from start to finish. But i did like our tour guide, she was amazing! The Ambiance was nice, we got to see the old barrels at Casa Bacardi and how they transport the supplies etc. we made the famous pina colada & mojito and class was amazing! Definitely need to come experience it once. & learn how to say BA-Ca-DI correctly

We really enjoyed the tour with Izzy . She made the tour extra fun and very informative. We learned a lot of history we didn't know about Bacardi and we're Boricuas. Next time we come back to visit family again we will definitely take the tour again and hope we can get Izzy again. If anyone deserves a raise it's her. Again Awesome tour. Thanks Izzy.

This was an AWESOME experience. While in Puerto Rico, we did a day tour to the Casa Barcardi distilleries.. We got to tour the rooms and see where and how rum is processed and made. We were even allowed to make drinks and taste the flavors of the different rums. Unfortunately, during our visit, it was near the end of hurricane season, and the tour wasn't as detailed because of the rain. It's such a large area, and they had us riding on a trolly and golf carts. The staff was Phenomenal! To see how they have worked so hard to get things back to normal after hurricane Maria did so much damage was incredible. I would definitely do this tour again so that Incan see it through.

The service and our class were amazing. She was funny and entertaining. It made the class that more fun. I enjoyed my time learning about the Bacardi factory and the process of making the rum. Before the class, I decided to order some tropical grouper ceviche which was yummy before starting the class. Everything about the tour was amazing. The class room was great! Everything was set up perfectly with extra room for each person. I highly recommend this class for anyone visiting Casa Bacardi. Well worth it!

Here's an updated draft of your review: --- I had an amazing time at Casa Bacardi! The entire experience was fantastic. We took an Uber, which was about a 15-minute ride from San Juan. Upon entering the factory, there is an outdoor bar where you go to register. You need to sign up for activities ahead of time online. After registering, they give you a token for a free drink, which was a nice touch. They also serve food, with delicious options like tacos, ceviche, and empanadas. I took the mixology class, which was incredible. The experience starts with a tour of the factory, and then you move on to the mixology class. Our instructor was amazing and very personable. You even get a complimentary shot before getting started. During the class, you'll make two drinks. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend visiting!

Went on vacation in Puerto Rico and had the best time. But what's a vacation there without going to the rum capital of the world. This facility was by far one most beautiful places we visited. The tour started with a rum cocktail of your choice and only went up for there. Our tour guys name was Danny and let me tell you,this man was a showman. He really made you feel like you were apart of the journey of bacardi. From seeing a movie to looking at how the rum was made years ago was amazing. I'd suggest this place to anyone. Book fast because it fills up every day. P.s the gift shop is sick. I bought so much stuff to bring home.
