Progreso Rum Tour?

Has anyone book the Rum Tour in Progreso, through Carnival Cruises? If so, was it worth it.

Thanks!

Never heard of it but now I'm curious about it :)

My husband and I went on this tour last week and enjoyed it very much. We are 60-somethings with no mobility problems but this is a tour that could accommodate anyone, except children. Merida is a beautiful city. We toured by bus and were treated to a stop at their cathedral that was completed in 1598 - very interesting! The D'Aristi rum factory is in an old hacienda (rustic) with nice grounds. We tasted their 10-year old rum, several fruit liqueurs and the Mayan drink called xtabentun. The drive to Merida is only around 30 minutes so it is not a taxing bus ride to get there and back. Our guides (Jerry and "Mr. Chihuahua") were great. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would enjoy learning about the history of the area and who likes rum!:)

Must be something new. Been to Merida before and it is a very nice town. The people are friendly. And not pushy about selling you something. The rum tour along with a city tour of Merida is definitely something I will consider next time I am in Progresso.

Can the rum tour be booked outside of Carnival? I am interested but would like to see if there is a cheaper price.

Thanks!

Have you checked with Autoprogreso? They do tours but I don't know if they do the rum tour.
