    Adriana gave such a delightful, insightful, and fun tour. She gave such a fun tour with a personal touch: she compared each rum to a different type of bird, and really made it a lovely experience. The outdoor part was a little tougher because the vehicle was so shaky and noisy to hear everything. But Adriana, the crazy bird lady, made it wonderful.

    Such a fun experience at Casa Bacardi! Highly recommend the Mixology class! My friends and I booked the 5pm Mixology class during our trip to San Juan. I highly recommend arriving early -- you are served a welcome drink and can explore all of the art on the grounds. The tour started with a tram ride to see where the rum is aged and learn more about the company. We then entered a room where all of the mixology materials were set up. We learned to make 2 cocktails (my fav was the mojito) and had some time to enjoy our drinks. Our tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable! Highly recommend booking this activity in advance!

    This was a super fun time. We did the mixology class which kicked off with a complimentary drink at the bar while we waited for things to start. We rode a trolley over to the mixology class, and learned the history of Bacardi along the way. Our guide was fun and informative, and made the whole experience extremely entertaining. We learned how to make two different cocktails with two different types of Bacardi. The class kicked off with a cheers of one of their most premium Bacardi blends, which really got us all in the party mode. We made a version of a mojito, and another very floral drink which was also good. We had ample time to take photos up at the front, and were able to take our drinks to go with us once the experience was over. If you're looking for a place to turn up and have some fun I'd come here and do the mixology class for sure!

    Casa Bacardí was a really enjoyable experience overall. You get a complimentary cocktail before the tour begins. Our tour guide was amazing--knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the brand and its history. The tour itself offered a lot of great information about Bacardí and rum-making, and I appreciated learning more about the legacy behind it all. That said, I could've gone without the ride portion--it felt a bit rushed and she breezed through it quickly. Thankfully, the rum tasting more than made up for it. It was excellent, with even more history shared, and you also get a great buzz by the end. The gift shop was super cute and had plenty of fun souvenirs to choose from. Overall, it's definitely worth visiting if you're in Puerto Rico, especially for the tasting and the knowledgeable guides.

    This was such a unique experience and an absolute must-do if you're in San Juan! We did the mixology class, which included learning how to make two different cocktails. Violetta, our instructor/guide, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about BACARDÍ, which made the class even more enjoyable. The grounds were beautiful with plenty of spots to take pictures and relax. I'd love to come back and try the Founder's Experience next time. My only criticism is that they told us to arrive 30 minutes early, but there ended up being a lot of downtime. The actual class started more than 20 minutes after our reservation time.

    I along with a group of friends booked a mixology class here. What a great experience this was! Be sure to arrive early enough to enjoy your complimentary welcome drink! After enjoying our complimentary drinks we were taken on a tour around the distillery learning about the history of Bacardi. The tour shows us all around and then drops us off where the mixology class takes place. During the class we made several drinks that were all delicious and seemed to increase in strength lol. They provide everything you need to make the drinks and the instructor was very informative. My friends definitely enjoyed the class and left feeling quite lovely. Would definitely recommend!

    We took the Bacardi legacy tour - At the time it was $45 each. We arrived at the gate a bit early - and were not allowed to enter the property until 30 minutes before our tour started. I think a lot of people either take ubers or the ferry from the Old San Juan area. We drove the rental car. The tour starts outside at the white roofed building where the friendly staff check your registration information and get you lined up for the tour you pad for - you can do the long tour for $89 or the mixology class for $89. Or the legacy tour for the half price. We were quickly outfitted with our wristbands and a complimentary drink token. We cashed those in and opted for the upgrade drinks for a couple more dollars. The drinks were made very well and some with flair! We had time to drink and meet some new friends from Michigan while taking pictures. After which they herd you to the carts and take you on a pretty short but informative tour where they tell you about the property and the business conducted in each of the buildings. After the cart park you go inside and begin the walking tour, then a 7 minute video telling the history of the business and family. Next you get to taste a special flavr that you can only get there - and you can purchase the products at a great price along with all kinds of swag - and that is pretty much it. I am glad we went and our guide was fantastic! I regret not picking up the bottle of 10 there - the price at the airport was about $20 more.

    My friends and I had so much fun doing this tour! We chose the mixology class tour and everyone gets a welcome cocktail. There was a set menu of cocktails that you can get with options to upgrade your cocktail at a cost. While you wait for your tour guide, you get to enjoy the cocktail and lounge around the waiting area which is where you can take a photo of the "Casa Bacardi" sign made of barrels. Anywho, we took a small tour to the distillery prior to the mixology class where we had a chance to sample some rum. Our tour guide - wish I remembered her name - was SO entertaining and hospitable. We absolutely loved her and she was also our mixology teacher. After the class, we headed to the gift shop and then back to the waiting area where there was a food truck which was nice because we were all getting hungry by the end of the tour. We had such a great experience here and the drinks were really good. Highly recommend doing this tour!

    I booked this tour the day of my birthday. I woke up feeling a little down but decided to get out and explore. I arrived an hour early just in case something went wrong or if I ran into traffic... and just my luck it was beauxcoup traffic! The two parking lots I got to were full and by the time I got to the 2nd one, I was late getting to the ferry. I decided to call the reservation line and ask if I could reschedule. The guy I spoke to was very kind. He text me directions to the factory and refunded me the ferry fee that I paid online. I was literally about to cry. I arrived in enough time to check in, get my drink and use the ladies room. Once they call your wrist band color, you board the trolley/bus and the tour guide takes you around the bldg for a quick history lesson on the company. Then you head inside and get a tour of the inside and how the company started. The video that was shown was very informative. Towards the end you will get to taste one of the Bacardi rums. Even though it was my bday, I opted not to indulge. The tour goes by pretty fast. We ended at the gift shop. Which is where I went a little insane. Lol

    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

    It's my first time visiting Casa Bacardi, and it was a very good experience from the driving to the sitting down to order a drinks. The bartenders were super nice and they were . I love the Mojito they made for me and my daughter took another cocktail, my husband got an old-fashioned; later we went in the tram to visit the plant and the museum. We visited the store people was very nice, but I wish there was more to see how they prepare the rum , but they have an offer that tour since Covid, so we do that..

    Tania A.

    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.

    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.

Not too salty which was great. The entrees took over 30 more minutes to come. I ordered the paella and it was delicious. My friend thought her mofongo was just ok. I tried a bite and it was kinda bland. The kids thought their entrees were ok. I thought they didn't make the right choices. Service was OK. Server wasn't really present as the majority of our time there was waiting vs eating. That was true for most patrons. Most people seated at tables were waiting instead of eating. Not sure if there was an issue that night. Either way, I'd say that it's still a good spot. You just can't come hangry or in a hurry.

    Old San Juan is a must visit. It doesn't matter how many times you've been here. There's always…read moresomething new to discover. You may even rediscover a part of your past... like I did. It's a timeless Spanish Colonial town filled with charming old-world atmosphere, tropical settings, and tasty treats. It's truly a very walkable city. You just need to know what you want to see and how to get there. Those with mobility issues may need to map out a route with less of an incline. There's a free trolley in the city that used to be very reliable. My mom was very happy to see it during her very last pre-pandemic trip back to the island. I didn't see any of them this time around. Although, that might have been because of the Ironman race. The traffic looping through this part of the city is already bad enough. The roads being blocked off for marathons & festivities make it more difficult to get around. I hope they can improve transportation services for both locals & tourists alike. This is why walking around town is highly recommended. We originally wanted an Uber drop off at Plaza del Quinto Centenario. The roads were blocked off so we ended up at Plaza Colon on the east side. It turned out to be a good starting point as we made our way to Paseo de la Princesa. On our way, we just happened to spot a café-lined public square with a statue of a famous Puerto Rican composer named Arturo Somohano. I would definitely stop here for coffee if ever on a short shore excursion. It's close to the port, yet it's hidden by the Hotel Rumbao. There's also a Starbucks in this square. But, I must tell you. The highlight of our most recent visit was walking along the Princess Promenade and the fortified walls of the city to the San Juan Gate. I know a lot of people go to the forts (El Morro & San Cristóbal), and you should if you've never seen them. It's just that this southwestern part of OSJ wins my heart every time. It's a beautiful nature walk with many landmarks such as La Fortaleza, La Casa Blanca, Pigeon Park, and Paseo del Morro. There's a cat park as well and many garita viewpoints along the wall on your way to El Morro. All with great coastal views. It was also great to visually trace our steps the following evening when leaving on our 7-Day cruise from the Pan American Pier. That whole area along the promenade leading to the San Juan Gate and El Morro is lit up at night. The entire town sparkles when viewing it from the mouth of the bay. It's a beautiful sight that will always be remembered. A great beginning & ending point to any cruise.

It was the ceremonial pathway connecting Spanish Colonial dignitaries to the city of San Juan via Caleta de San Juan. It leads directly to the old cathedral & convent. There is a Latin incription on the top of the gate that is very difficult to read since it's painted over in white. The English translation is "Blessed is the one that comes in the name of God." I tried my best to get a close-up picture of the inscription. So, I've only seen it one other time when we toured La Fortaleza on a previous trip. We saw it through the garita turret hole along the fortress wall in that garden. I promised myself that I'd see it once again. We took the route of Paseo de la Princesa to the Raices Fountain, and then walked along the wall of the city to get there. It's a beautiful scenic walk. It's easy access for those with mobility issues. A very slight incline after passing through the gate to get to the cathedral. There's also a little park with lots of bench seating near the gate that has a memorial to Isabel de Trastamara (Queen of Castile). She's the one who funded Christopher Columbus' explorations which ultimately led to the discovery of Puerto Rico as well as the Americas. The cherry on top actually came the following day when we saw it from our cruise ship when leaving the San Juan Harbor at 7:30 pm. The night view was spectacular. I wish I had seen it earlier in my life. I've visited relatives here off & on since childhood and never had this opportunity. It's a must IMHO. DO NOT pass this up!

The boardwalk itself was once a military maintenance road, now turned into a must-see stroll with ocean views on one side and towering fortress walls on the other. If you're coming in by cruise or on foot, this is the kind of place you don't just pass you take your time, because this is where San Juan really introduces itself.

    **This is a fairly long review - but highly informative!**…read more I booked an El Yunque hike with Pandora a few months ago based on some reviews I had read - and my wife and I are glad that we did! Our driver (and owner of the company) was Eddie. I got a couple of follow up texts and emails from Eddie confirming our pick-up time and a text 20 mins before we were supposed to get picked up...gotta love that follow up! We started out for the hike about 10 mins earlier than expected. We were supplied with water, soda and fruit for the trip. Along the way, we were given a lot of information - current and historical - on the areas we were driving through and the island in general. Once we got there, we watched a video on the rainforest that really tied together the information we had received on the ride in. We then trekked it up the mountain in the van until we hit the trailhead. The hike from the La Mina trail was amazing! So many photo-ops, plus there's a waterfall (wear shoes good for hiking and water of you're going to swim). The trail was mostly down-hill and paved....but it was closed at the waterfall, so the walk back was uphill and a little rough. Don't let that deter you ....We wouldn't have traded the experience for anything! After the hike and more photos on the way down the mountain (which lasted about 90 mins total), Eddie took us over to a local eatery near the airport...the food was great and cheap (even if we got the world's worst waitress! LOL). After lunch, we headed back to the hotel. Eddie asked us what we were getting into the rest of the day, so we told him we were headed to Old San Juan for the afternoon. Eddie offered to give us a ride down there (which we gladly accepted). He allowed us time to go up to our room and change before we left. He picked it's up in his personal car and drive us over...still giving us great information about the island, and also life - advice we will surely cherish. He left us near the docks - and I must say, it was a little sad ending our time with him. It was like being with an Uncle you haven't seen in a while. He really takes care of people, and seems to genuinely enjoy what he does. He puts a lot of hard-work into perfecting his craft as an excursionist and it really shows. I know it has already been said in another review, but we honestly do feel like we have made a friend in Puerto Rico, and will definitely be calling WHEN we come back! Thank you very much for your time today, Eddie...We thoroughly enjoyed it - you made our vacation extremely memorable and special!

My wife and I researched various tours and decided that Eddie was the one because he was willing to do a private tour with just us two to the top of the rainforest and Bacardi Factory. He went out of his way to make sure we had a blast! Our morning started with him picking us up promptly at 8:00AM at our hotel. He had fresh fruits, cold water, great service, and very good conversations. The night before he made sure we had all we needed before booking with him so we were all set as soon as we jumped in the van. He told us all about El Yunque and what we would see, while taking his time driving the crazy streets of Puerto Rico. Once parked, he made sure we stretched and took a few pics of us before starting the hike. We went through the trails taking all the time we needed since it was very muddy and wet. We went all the way to the highest rock and spent a few minutes admiring the view; then we went back down to see Mt Britton. He took a bunch of great pictures of us as we went through the trails and shared them on dropbox when we were done. After El Yunque he took us to Bebo's BBQ in San Juan which was phenomenal (he said it would be)! He then took us to the Bacardi factory and patiently waited for us to take the tour, all this and it was his birthday! We had a full day with him. He showed us interesting areas of San Juan on the way back to the hotel and we couldn't be happier! Eddie is a trusted, funny, respecting, fun, and caring tour guide! So much so that I feel we must contact him next time just to say hi and have a drink even if we do not want to go on any tours. One of the best things about Eddie is that he is VERY flexible with his schedule and he will take you anywhere (that is reasonable of course). I feel he is an excellent guide and companion which is great because Puerto Rico has gotten pretty dangerous over the years and it is best to be with someone who knows the area and the history, even if you just want to be cabbed around the island. We recommend Eddie and Pandora Tours with our eyes closed! We loved our tour!
