4.6 / 5.0(60 reviews)
We did a “taste of Antigua” tour here thru NCL 🚢 cruise line and I would give it 6 stars if I could! We tasted three different rums, and they give you refills, the food was great, but most importantly, they covered a little bit of everything: history, education, currency, language - was my favorite one (!), wildlife and life after hurricane Awesome guides !!! (Featured on pictures) John and Megan took great care of us! They shared a taste of Antiqua we couldn't have gotten anywhere else! Great homemade Rum Punch and anther local drink made from a flowering plant (wish I remembered what that was), and high quality local rum! Thanks for a great experience!! What a great way to spend a few hours understanding how rum influenced the island economy, really good local knowledge and lots of rum to try too, although I have to admit the bread pudding with the rum sauce was delicious 😋Thank you every one for being so welcoming even the guy who wanted his rum shop to be open when we were having our talk, hope you managed to get a drink later 🍺
