Join up with your local guide at the prearranged meeting location in downtown Nassau. Then, walk together to your first stop, Smuggler's Beer Garden on George Street. Here, get your first taste of real Caribbean rum and cast your mind back some 300 years, when unruly pirates roamed the streets.

Continue to three more local spots, where you’ll fill up on rum cocktails along with conch and lobster fritters, rum-infused white chocolate and other regional delicacies.

Along the way, uncover some of the city’s lesser-known sights and hear stories about the island’s rum-running, swashbuckling past. See, too, the historical buildings that played a role in the profiteering business as storage for liquor about to be transported overseas. 

Make your final stop of the tour at John Watling’s Distillery. Walk around the Buena Vista Estate, where the distillery is situated, and learn about the production of rum as well as the 17th-century pirate for whom the distillery is named.

Tastings include (subject to change with notice):
• 6 rum tastings
• 3 rum cocktails
• Bahamian conch and lobster fritters
• Rum-infused bonbons
• Caramel truffle shot
• Homemade boozy rum cupcakes

This experience was fantastic. We sampled rum, chocolate, rum cake, and visited a cigar establishment while listening to stories about the history of the buildings we visited. We talked about the past and present state of the area. We experienced beautiful scenery as we walked to each destination. Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable of the history and had a pulse on current affairs of the island. We finished our tour with a mini mixology tutorial with a rum of our choice. Highly recommend this tour!

If you have any interest in Rum, I highly recommend this tour. The guide we had, Mikey, made it one of the more memorable afternoons on our trip. The tour brought us to some unique and charming shops that we wouldn't have found without it. The drinks were great, and so was the food. This is a really well put together experience! If you do any tour, I recommend this one!

Mikey and Ridge were very knowledgeable and a lot of fun listening to them tell stories and historical events about the island. The walking tour is a small group which is great and visiting different locations from rum tasting, food sampling, cigar making and creating a cocktail. We even meet people on the same boat and ended up becoming friends abd hanging out on the ship!

More rum less cocktails but that’s a personal preference
claire_a

It would have been sensible for the John Watlings distillery to have offered rum tastings prior to being given the opportunity to buy rum. Although the cocktail there was divine we had no samples there unfortunately and it was hard to taste elsewhere. Our guide Net however was lovely and had very good local knowledge and we did enjoy hearing the history of rum in the Bahamas and doing our cocktail mixing - the conch fritters at end were lovely
