Guidekin's take

Half an hour in a tasting room a short walk from the cruise piers, sampling five fruit infused pitorro moonshines and craft rums from four island distilleries with a bilingual host and some storytelling.

It is a tasting, not a tour, and there is no pickup. 4.99 from 183 reviews at €33 per person.

In our comparison: #1 of 13 in Rum Distillery Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
