*CHECK THE LOCATION*
Very far away, didn't end up going. Uber was 50$ one way. Not sure why it is listed as Santo Domingo when even on Google and in the direct address it is a completely different city and part of the country. Now I know why the ticket was only 20$.
I gave 2 stars since I wasn't lied to and the tour may be good but this does feel like false advertisement.

Highly recommended. They explain the production process, you can take photos and film. There is a small museum. At the end of the visit, they give you a tasting of different rums, depending on what you contracted with more or less quality. They also offer you the ability to prepare a cocktail.

This is a unique experience, highly recommended to know a little history and how the creation of our rum is, Mr. Jean Carlos guided us in a very pleasant way throughout the tour, he handles the history in an excellent way. Very pleased with the treatment provided.

The tour can be booked in smaller groups and in many languages.
The historical center covers the history of the island in more detail than the Historical Museum in the capital. Actually, that alone is worth the visit.
The tour is extensive, covers everything and takes place without any time pressure. It includes an extensive tasting in the middle of a huge warehouse with thousands of rum barrels stacked up to the ceiling. The ambience is unique and extremely harmonious. You are not just bottled, you learn to taste the rum, to taste the nuances and differences between the storage time and the type of barrels used. Great!
In the shop there is no pressure to buy anything and you are accompanied, advised and served by the factory's own guide. The prices are significantly lower than in local retail.
Of all the local tours of rum distilleries, this is the most interesting, comprehensive, educational and by far the most personal experience. The only tour that I can recommend.

We wanted to visit a Rum distillery and tasting. Our driver Sandro knew a tour guild at Ron Barcelona and booked us a tour. We purchased the $30 tour and Sergio was our guide. It was by far the Best tasting tour I’ve ever been on. Such a clean and nice distillery and facility. Our guide Sergio was so knowledgeable and nice. I would Highly recommend this tour. The prices on their Rum is better than anywhere else.

We booked out trip thru Sandro Moreno our driver, who was fantastic. We enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide was Sergio who explained the process to us and was a fantastic guide. We had a delicious mixed drink while going through the museum. We tasted 5 rums at the end. The rums for sale had great pricing. This was one of the best rum tours I've ever taken. They explained the process and you got to see the plant and bottling as well as quality control. Thanks Sergio for the great tour.

Interesting factory tour with a walk around the factory premises, a visit to the bottling plant and the historical part of the museum. Reasonable prices in the shop. I basically had a private tour in German with the wonderful, friendly Luis de los Santos. Thank you very much Luis!

This is a great tour to do when you're in the capital or La Romana. We booked over the phone the day before and got there in a car rental. We had a great time learning so much about the distillery and the history. In addition, we were able to try the rum and got to try a delicious mixed drink. I recommend you wear sunscreen and wear a hat since the sun can be very strong when you're outside during parts of the tour. The tour ends at the gift shop where you get great deals on bottles and other souvenirs.

An amazing experience. We went without a reservation during a weekday and the staff was very welcoming from the second we drove into their parking. I believe our tour guide was Jean Carlos, great experience for the price and you get to shop around for liquor at the end of the tour
