Tour Details

Private Hotel Pick up, Bacardi Distillery/San Juan tour, Pier drop off-Glenn's Group

Once you are picked up at the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, you will visit to the Bacardi Rum Distillery, the world's largest distiller of natural spirits, and enjoy a fascinating city tour of Old and New San Juan before you are dropped off at the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas pier.

Upon arrival at the Bacardi Rum Distillery you and your guide will board an open-air tram for the ride to the new Visitor's Building. During your tour, you will see audio and video displays about the history of Bacardi and the rum-making process, and then visit a gallery displaying old documents, family portraits, rum bottles and other items. At the Bacardi cocktail lounge, which resembles a 1920s Cuban bar, you will watch a bartender prepare cocktails using Bacardi rum, see some of Bacardi's greatest commercial ads in a room filled with lights and music, and send video emails to your friends. Your tour will conclude at the open-air pavilion for some complimentary rum drinks. Bacardi Rum and other products may be purchased in the Rum N' Things gift shop next to the pavilion. PLEASE NOTE: For insurance reasons, guests cannot tour the actual preparation/bottling area.

An old walled city with more than 400 years of history, in contrast to a modern resort city, is the backdrop for your orientation this thriving and interesting city.

You will then drive to the new part of town, where you will travel through the Condado area. Here you will see the luxury hotels, casinos, nightclubs and many restaurants that make this the most popular place in town after dark.

San Juan's Old Town tells hundreds of years of history in its restored and renovated buildings, homes and fortifications. It is divided by narrow streets, many still paved with cobblestones. Photo opportunities abound as you pass the Governor's Palace, San Juan Cathedral, Capilla de Cristo, Fort San Cristobal, and travel along the coast road to El Morro, where you will have a photo stop from the street.

As you drive along, look down every street for hidden plazas and the beautiful 17th-century Spanish ironwork on the restored old homes, and blue-black glazed cobblestones lining the narrow streets of the Old City.
