Bacardi Factory: Free Drinks!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is no admission for the factory itself. They give you 2 drink coupons each for a bicardi drink of your chioce or drink the reserve straight. On the tour see the history and see some hands on or smells on exhibits;) During the tour, they allow you to send a video message to anyone. Take email addresses to send a video message After the tour, they drop you off at the gift shop. You might want to buy some of the very special limited release 12 year old they sell only at the factory.

    You can either take the spanish or english tour.

    Bacardi Factory: CASA BACARDI
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the best things to do when in San Juan is to visit the Bacardi distillery. Along with the tour you will receive complimentary drinks on their outside patio. You can purchase bottles of bacardi in their store. They offer some drinks that are not sold outside their compound. Some of It is a self guided tour so you can go at your own pace. The last stop of the tour is a replica of a typical bar of the golden years. You will have a bartender tour guide show you the ins and outs of Bacardi..

    Bacardi Factory: The Bacardi Factory
  • Tip Rating:
  • Great if youve harboured a lifelong ambition to own a Bacardi branded key-fob or ash tray.

    For normal people, a hideous waste of your holiday.

    After the mediocre Guinness Factory in Dublin, the abysmal Heineken Experience in Amsterdam, we have finally learnt our lesson - a drink related factory tour is not / cannot be a good thing.

    The most interesting exhibit is a collection of small barrels containing different flavoured Bacardis that you sniff.

    Located on the other side of the bay, a trip to the Bacardi Factory will swallow up at least 4 hours of your holiday - spend the time in Old San Juan instead.

    As for the "free samples" - they're not FREE. You've paid for two ferrys and two taxi rides by the end of the day.

    They're not even that good. The mojitos have been mass produced in a jar that looks like a dirty fish tank.

    Bacardi Factory: Bacardi Rum Distillery
  • Tip Rating:
  • At the Bacardi Rum Distillery you can take a tour of the factory. They give you the history of the place and also explain every detail of making rum. At the end of the tour, you are given free samples of rum. If you love alcohol or rum in particular, you must visit Bacardi.

    Bacardi Factory: Skip Bacardi! Visit Casa Don Q! A PERFECT ALT!
  • Tip Rating:
  • IF YOU MUST GO TO BACARDI, KNOW THIS:
    Bacardi tour:
    PROS: free tour, complimentary beverages (2 per person), inexpensive alcohol and gifts, gracious staff
    CONS: 4+ hours total (including travel from Condado), BORING tour, bus/taxi to ferry to bus/taxi just to get there and back, surrounded by other tourists, long lines for drinks and/or gift shop

    GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO THE ABOVE!!!
    Don Q Rum has a "Casa Don Q" across from Pier 2 in Old San Juan. Think of it as a miniture Casa Bacardi tour, and at your own pace. Same free beverages, excellent gifts, gracious hosts, and interesting facts as Bacardi (and I, personally, think better rum!) without the extra ferry and bus/taxi ride. SUGGESTION: when you first walk in, go directly to the bar area and ask for a "house mix" (very tasty) with an extra shot of Don Q Crystal and take your time browsing the company/manufacturing info in the clean, air-conditioned Casa Don Q.

  • Address: Old San Juan, across from Pier 2.
  • Directions: Once you're in Old San Juan, look for Pier #2, stand in front of it, and turn around 180 degrees. LET ME KNOW IF THIS TIP HAS HELPED YOU OR IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY ADVICE; PLEASE EMAIL ME AT quadeagle@hotmail.com

    Bacardi Factory: La Casa Bacardí
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of my favorite places in the San Juan area, I think that this is a great place to go for anyone age 18 and older. Why, you ask? There are free drinks with every tour, so you have a drink before the tour, and it makes everything, learning.. everything! That much more of a pleasurable experience. They give you stick-phones to use on the tour to recieve information on artifacts. If you're a sensable person who enjoys smelling things, there are about twenty barrels of different kinds of rum from different years. Personally, the aroma made my head hurt, but it could have been enduced by the drinks I had prior. They also teach you how to make special drinks and which rum you should use with which kind of drink. Very informative for the beverage connosieur, and fun for the whole family.

  • This is an interesting tour to take albeit a bit too commercial.

    This is the largest distillery in the world.

    Bacardi Factory: free samples be careful
    Great tour of the Baccardi factory, short basically self guided, informative, clean and historical. And the free samples are great just be careful how many freebies you have. :)
