Get to grips with Gran Canaria's history at the Arucas Rum Distillery – the oldest rum-producer in Europe. Enjoy a tour and tasting experience to learn all about the process of producing the spirit of choice for sailors, seamen and pirates throughout the ages. See the stills, taste different types, and find out how to make a perfect rum cocktail.

Overall experience great but travelling on busses from bottom of island caused issued would prefer paying a bit extra if coach/minibus was included

Great welcome, waited for 5 minutes before the guide arrived. Great tour! I recommend this to anyone visiting Gran Canaria. The degustation of the different Rhums were fabulous! A+++

A very interesting tour, where you learn the history of the company and how they make the products. The tour guide Sophie was excellent and really friendly. Tasting afterwards was very good. Where for 2 people you could sample many types if you shared a glass for each product. They could do with a small coffee bar, as you may have to wait for the tour to begin. Prices in the shop were cheaper than in the supermarket. Well worth a visit

Very good value for money cheaper than the tickets on the day. Four double rums included. Well worth a visit for the town also

Very friendly, informative guide. Lovely rums that can be purchased cheaper than at local shops. Not the easiest place to get to but took a bus to Las Palmas then a second one to Arucas. The distillery is a very short walk from the bus station
