Great time at the rum factory. Have 2 kids which sat in the pram while we walked through the tour.
Had a great time. Staff were great and tour was very interesting. Had a pram and was easy to take around. Our 2 year old loved it she even got to taste some. I don’t even drink rum but the tour was still very interesting. Definitely go early before your tour to check out the Museum as you don’t get to return but do get to taste test any rum you want.
Jaden our guide was awesome, great hour spent with him. He made molasses sound exciting 🤩.
Very interesting seeing how Bundaberg Rum is made . Tour by Jaden was full of interesting facts, yummy smells and entertaining banter. The two samples at the end were hard as so many wonderful choices. All the team back at the bar lovely also. Great experience 😊 Next time we will try mixology tour, it sounded great.
It was a great tour
It was a great tour. Our guide Alex was very funny and of course, the taste testing was enjoyable definitely recommend this tour for families as our daughter enjoyed herself as well. There is also plenty of history in the museum including info about the fire and the floods. Definitely go!
