Once in OSJ be sure to take the ferry to the Bacardi rum plant. The tour is very informative and the 2 free rum drinks are wonderful.

This has been my third Bacardi tour and definitely the best and informative one. Dru did an excellent job as a tour guide.

My second trip to Puerto Rico and I had to bring my mom, It was mothers day weekend. This trip does not fail, it takes what 2 hours out of your time. Took a $.50 ferry each way to the island, paid $3 each way for a van ride to the factory. It is beautiful and very interesting plus you... More

My wife and I planned a cruise out of San Juan and arrived early to do a little exploring in town before hand. One of the attractions we chose was to visit the Bacardi Rum Factory. It was very easy to reach. In old San Juan you can take the Ferry which cost us $1 round trip per person. From... More

Besides being great to drink in a Coke, rum has a very long (and sometimes shady) history. The rum we drink to day is nothing like the rum the pirates drank- and it is a good thing! Many of the names the pirates gave to rum had the word "devil" in it, which should be a good indicator of both... More

this was the worst tour of a factory I have ever been on. They don't show you anything. You watch a movie, then look at a replica of how they made rum in the 1900's. then go outside and get 2 free drinks. This is something you can skip

We had a car for exploring around the island and after a late lunch in Old San Juan, we drove to the nearby Bacardi Rum factory, arriving just before the last tour of the day. There was a little bit of a back-up, so we got to have our 2 Bacardi Rum samples BEFORE our tour. (And then we got... More

Glad we went; free drinks with our tour. Interesting but not terribly so. See a movie and nothing "real". Gift shop where you can purchase rum reasonably priced.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour of the Bacardi Distillery Tour. We took the ferry from Old San Juan at Pier 2 ($1/person round trip and leaves every twenty minutes) and then took a colectivo taxi van to the distillery ($3 per person). There are vans waiting to taxi people back to the ferry at the end of the... More
