Loved the tour of Appleton Estates. Our guide, Peter, was very informative and keep us laughing while teaching us about the rich history of the estate and of Jamaica's past. We loved the trip from Montego Bay as much as Appleton. Michael of Michael Johnson Tours showed us the real Jamaica. If you love history or rum or both, Appleton Estate Rum Tour is a must. If you want an awesome tour guide at a very reasonable rate, call Michael . You can find his contact info at johnsontoursja.com. Remember, No problem mon!

Went here after the YS falls and the scenery is very pretty with good views of the mountains. The trip round the factory is quite short and then you get to try up to 13 rums - you fill your own glass (I managed 6!). Still I did sleep most of the way back which as the roads are terrible was a bonus. You can also buy rum at very good prices.

We chose to hire a taxi for the day so we could be on our own time schedule and this made for a very relaxing and personal tour, and tasting. It was interesting to learn this history of Appleton and it was very nice to have an opportunity to taste (and purchase) a variety of rums.

Informative, educational, interactive - guide was great with a great sense of humor. If we were in the area we would do this tour again. Only place in the world you can buy Appleton Exclusive - and we did. Grounds are great as is the history of this old distillery. Some advice...determine how long the trip is from your hotel - distance is irrelevant as the roads are festive. Tasting is basically a open bar - great if you are on a bus tour.

We attended the Appleton Estate rum tour as part of a tour through Western Jamaica that led us to several attractions. The rum tour was informative and the walk through the gardens of the estate gave us a chance to see how rum was made in the past and today. The building with the still pots was open for a visit, however the noise level and heat inside ensured that the visit was short. At the end of the tour, the group was given a chance to taste 8 different rums. That tasting could have been better organized with more explanation of the various rums offered. There is a decent shop on the premises with competitive prices. All in all, a worthwhile attraction if it can be built into an existing tour. The bad roads of Jamaica make it less attractive to visit the estate just for the rum tour.

Normally Appleton doesn't take groups as large as 45, but they made an exception for us! We were so thankful and pleased! As soon as we arrived, we were led to the bar where we were offered complimentary juice, soda, or rum punch....umm, rum punch, please! As soon as my cup was empty, I was offered a refill. By the time the tour began, I will admit, I was beginning to feel the effects of the rum. But after 5 min. of walking in the Jamaica heat, I sweated it all out--I suppose that's why they're not worried about folks getting too tipsy on the tour. Our guide was very friendly, he spoke loudly and clearly, and he explained the process of each step very methodically so that everyone understood. I now know how rum is made!The grounds were beautifully kept, and there was plenty of shade. I didn't put on any sunscreen beforehand, but thankfully I didn't have to. Afterwards, we got to sample about 7 or 8 different kinds of rum and then visit the gift shop.If you're looking to tour a factory and are interested in how things are made, visit Appleton Estates! You won't be disappointed!

Upon arrival at the Appleton Estate we were greeted with rum punch and then served a delicious local lunch (jerk chicken, rice and peas and a fresh cool salad). Next, a guide provided us with an educational tour of the distillery process from beginning to end and then we went inside to observe the distillery and then we ended the tour with of course sampling 8 types of rums. The price was definitely worth the money and experience. I highly recommend this excursion.

My wife and I hoped to take this tour last year, but did not meet the minimum, so we were eager to sign up this time. The Estate is about an hour and fifteen from Sandals Whitehouse, we had an excellent driver and guide.Upon arriving, we were given a rum punch and introduced to our guide. Our first stop was to visit the original way sugar cane was pressed, by a press powered by a donkey. I think he ate more cane than he pressed. We then toured the distilling building where we learned the difference between pot stills and cylinder or column stills - the latter distills white rum that is not aged, the former produces what will be dark rum. We then visited the cask room, where the store a minimum of 250,000 barrels for aging. Our visit finished by enjoying a rum tasting, and an excellent jerk chicken lunch.On both ends of the tour, during the ride, our guide provided historic, political and details of the everyday life of the Jamaican people.Definitely recommend this tour - very informative and enjoyable.

Wonderful tour with knowledgeable and nice guides. I am not a rum drinker but was fascinated and enjoyed the tasting.

Had a great time here, learning about the history and current process for making rum. I would've enjoyed a couple a more in depth look at the process, but you can't argue with a tour that starts you off with several glasses of rum punch and finishes with sampling from 8 different bottles of rum.
