Wow & wonderful experience! Not a tour for people with young children. This excursion was booked through Chukka as part of a package (we'd definitely recommend hiring a driver or booking as part of a package so as not to drive). Be prepared to travel 2 hours outside of town to view this estate. It is well worth the drive. Be prepared for windy roads & fast travel. Plan accordingly with snacks & water as there will only be local roadside stands to purchase items from. However, the estate is fantastic & the tour is very informative. We'd definitely recommend as it is a great day trip.

I did a private tour because they did not have one with the group I paid almost $600. The personal driver was great but the tour was short. The taste of the rum was three drops of Appleton rum and is very short and not worth the money.

The Good Unlimited free drinks on arrival was a welcome surprise! Great to see a few peacocks. The Bad Nothing - our guide Peter was amazing, there was an odd smell walking around but that is just the waste and normal as part of the rum making process The Ugly Nothing - beautiful location very informative tour
