Fodor's Review:

On this popular 45-minute tour you learn the colorful story behind the world's oldest rum—made in Barbados since the 18th century. Although the distillery is in the far north, in St. Lucy Parish, tour guides explain the rum-making procedure. Both historic and modern equipment is on display, and rows and rows of barrels are stored in this location. The 45-minute tour concludes with a tasting and an opportunity to buy bottles of rum and gift items—and even have lunch.

  • Cost: $6, with lunch $27.50
  • Open: Weekdays 9-4
