Everything was amazing. Alexander The Great was a superior tour guide and photographer! Big Papi William was the best driving. From touring the highest mountain, to rolling cigars, to tasting 7 kinds of rum…everything was amazing. And I don’t get me started on the food….deliciousness!!!!!Can’t wait to come back and bring friends! Be sure to ask for extra Gasoline when you go….(you’re welcome)
We booked this tour while coming in on a cruise and are so glad we did! Alexander the Great and Indiana Jones took great care of us. They were welcoming, kind, and happily showed us around their city. We had no problem finding the pick-up spot from the cruise port with the directions provided. This was the perfect tour to see the many highlights of the area. The cable car was our first stop and we beat the crowd to get the most out of our time. The rum factory was next on the list and it did not disappoint. We then toured a fort, followed by lunch. We picked the authentic food option but they also offered a cheeseburger and vegetarian option if you are feeling less adventurous. The food and restaurant was exceptional! After lunch we were taken to the cigar factory and for additional sight seeing downtown. Alex always kept the rum and coke (or sprite) flowing and was more than happy to snap photos of your group. 10/10 recommend and would book with this company again!
Do not pass on this tour - it is a morning and afternoon filled with tons of fun. From the tram ride up the hill to the rum tasting to the cigar smoking to the wonderful lunch and so much more. Our tour guide Jose was very knowledgeable and friendly - he knew people everywhere we went and showed us a terrific time. Highly recommend. We booked directly - not through the cruise line - and everything went smoothly.
This tour was our favorite of the whole NCL cruise! It was upbeat and fun and very informative. Lunch was delicious at a beautiful restaurant, the Rum tour at Macorix was great and something I’ve never done before… the cigar rolling was a unique experience too! Diego was our driver and he even upon request took us for a quick stop at a public beach access so I could put my feet and legs in the water for a couple of minutes… Alex (the great) made the tour what it was:The Best! Walking to the pickup was easy from Amber Cove and we were greeted as family from the start and offered an ice cold coke or one with “gas” aka rum which we gladly accepted. We were given snacks as we drive along too. The view from the mountain after the cable car ride was incredible! I definitely recommend this tour!
Alexander “the great” was amazing!! We had the best time with him. He was so full of information about everything local. We completed everything on the tour. I would highly recommend.
This was easily the best excursion we've ever taken on a cruise. Our guide Eduardo and our driver John were courteous, professional and personable. The tour itself flowed easily and was full of value and interest. The tour stops were well chosen. Lunch was delicious and hospitable. I have some minor mobility challenges and Eduardo was gracious in accommodating me. We highly recommend this tour.
