At the end everyone was treated to a bottle of bank’s beer - it wasn’t bad considering that I am not a beer drinker. Then we went to the Mount Gay Rum Factory. Again shown lots of old kettles and gave the history of the various rums they produce. At the end everyone was given a tiny, tiny sample of 3 of the rums. It wasn’t a bad tour but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it if you have never been to Barbados before. There are a lot of better tours for the first timers.
