We have just returned to our hotel having had a thoroughly enjoyable experience courtesy of our driver Vincent from barefoot tours. An ex Saint Lucian fireman who now works part time as a tour guide, provided us with outstanding local knowledge and a true credit to barefoot and the island! We were picked up bang on time (not Caribbean time) and Vincent provided us with clear guidance of what to do expect and what we would see as we traversed the island. The Saint Lucian Distillery tour is informative and the sampling was next level! Having completed previous rum experiences on other islands this was a step up, both in terms of education and production levels! I would thoroughly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to have Vincent as your driver, you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I had Elijah for our tour to the Rum Distillery during our honeymoon trip in St. Lucia. Elijah was a wonderful driver, he was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and attentive during our entire round trip experience from the north to the south of the island. My husband and I would absolutely recommend Elijah to anyone who is looking to do an any tour while on the island.

We went on the St Lucia rum tour and had a great experience. What we did not realise at the time of booking that it was a part private tour. That being us being picked up in an executive car and chauffeured to the rum distillery where we joined a small group and shown the process of distilling rum which we found interesting and the chance to sample 12/14 different types of rum from creamy rum based liqueurs to 15 year old matured rum and also the chance to buy . After our tour Nasser our driver for the tour took us to Castries market and agreed a time that he would return and take us back to our hotel We really did enjoy the rum tour and special thanks to Nasser a very friendly knowledgeable guide. He gave us an insight of St Lucia as well as being a very good driver. We would do this tour again without hesitation. A little tip buy rum at the shop onsite it is considerably cheaper than the supermarkets and liquor stores

We had a great time! The rum tour at the distillery is very well organized and you’re able to sample almost everything they produce. We didn’t go to the Casteries Market but I think that’s because our hotel is very near the distillery so it didn’t make sense. All in all it was great, the guide and driver were lovely! Would do it again

Liby was a great host. Everyone was freindly and the tour was very insightful, if you like rum, have Liby give you the rundown on the process if making rum

We had a fabulous morning at the Rum Tour in St Lucia. Our Tour Guide Vincent from Bare Foot Tours was an absolute gentleman and it was an honour spending a few hours in his company. He was very knowledgeable about St Lucia and made us feel very welcome, he even stopped off at a few places so that we could take photos. I would highly recommend booking Vincent as your tour guide you will not be disappointed.

The rum tasting tour in St. Lucia was an exceptional experience! Visiting St. Lucia Distillers, we explored the fascinating rum-making process and sampled a wide variety of rums, from smooth aged blends to flavorful spiced options. The Admiral Rodney Rum stood out as my favorite, with its rich, complex flavor profile. The guides were knowledgeable, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The scenic drive through the island’s lush landscapes and a stop at Castries Market added a cultural touch. Highly recommended!
