Had an engaging tour lasting 30-40 minutes with another couple, delivered in English, which explained how rum is made. It included a video introduction, a train set /model of a factory to show how it all worked, I liked the movement around the building to see the different elements that take place to make rum, eg seeing the barrels and tanks etc. With the cheapest package, it includes a tasting of one of the rums, and a rum cocktail, which you can drink in your own time. More expensive packages included tastings of multiple rums, etc. It was a tour worth doing!

Great place to drink rum and learn a little bit about it. Great visual and interactive experience. Not much information to be honest, but it’s just enough to learn something and not get bored. And I definitely recommend to buy the “extended” ticket, you’ll get three different drinks in glasses instead one (the cheapest) in a plastic cup. The price is not that higher. And try the special drink in the lobby before the tour begins. :) the bottles in the shop are the same as all around Cuba (even at the airport), so you don’t have to buy it here and carry around all day. :)

I don't drink so the rum tasting was lost on me and I didn't have high hopes for this tour...however...I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel that the owners have really put some thought into the museum so that it is interesting for all. There is a giant model of the site as it once was, along with many other artefacts and an informative video presentation. Some passageways are even lined with shoulder high sugar cane effects to add to the experience. Our guide fully explained the rum making process in just enough detail to educate but not too much to bore us, and she was happy to take questions. The site also keeps samples of the high proof alcohol that is produced before distillation but too strong to legally sell. If you want to try 75% rum this is your place! She also had an even higher sample that is too strong to drink so she just poured a capful and let us sniff the vapours. Wowee!!!

Along with its cigars is rum probably one of the better known cultural heritages of Cuba. And among rums its Havana Club that bears the city's name in its brand and is thus the probably best known Cuban rum there is (not necessarily the best in my opinion though). To honor its history and the general history of rum-making in Cuba, was a museum erected in downtown Havana. It doesn't tell you too much about the process - I#d describe it as a very vivid children's museum rather, but it has a nice patio, where you can enjoy a good drink and it's a cultural alternative to the few good museums the city unfortunately has to this day...

Best thing we found to do in Havana, one of the nicest tour guides, Flavia, and we got to taste rum at the end. As there was an expectant mother in our group, I doubled up.
There's plenty of Havana Club rum on sale at the end of the tour and outside in the courtyard we bought a freshly made cocktail with the sugar syrup for 4 CUC. Delicious!

Two things to bear in mind before your visit:
1. They only take card payments. So if you’re holding a bank card issued by American banks, you cannot make the purchase as they don’t accept cash.
2. It is prohibited to bring any rum to the US. If you make the purchase, make sure you enjoy the rum while you’re in Havana. Our rum was confiscated by the US custom and destroyed.

If you've got nothing planned, definitely give this tour a chance, its entertaining. But if you have other museums to visit, do those first. If you're a Havana Club or Rum lover, this place is a must! You learn a lot about the brand, the method to the creation of their rum and you get to try a sample. You must pay, and I'd recommend to do the main/starter tour with the 1 free drink (that should be more than enough).

This is where we purchased all of our rum and cigars upon the recommendation of our tour guide. We bought a few bottles of 7 year and a few bottles of 5 year Havana Club rum here. We were also able to buy a box of Cohibas for our friends back home. We had no problem going through customs, as we purchased the legal amount. Even if you do not plan on buying anything, I would drop in to look. It is soooo old-school cool.

For those who dont have the patience for exhibits about art and literature, here's a topic that might catch your interest - rum. Cuba is known for its rum, and Havana Ckub show visitors why. The tour last approximately half an hour and takes visitors through the history and process of making Cuban rum. The best part : there are samples at the end.

Hello!
What times and days of the week do they conduct english tours? How far is the museum from old Havana?
Thank you!

The Rum Museum is almost on the waterfront in Old Havana. Any taxi can take you there, unlikely to cost more than $CUC10. The English language guides we heard were highly proficient in English. You may wait a while to get a group together, but probably not more than 20 minutes judging by the rate groups were moving through the Museum. I disagree with the observation offered that the tour was designed to get you into the sakes area: we had a lot of questions on the way through the museum within our group and there was no rush...

I will be coming in from the US on Royal Caribbean Cruise in October and want to visit the Museum. Supposedly I can only be in Havana on On Shore Excursions. How can I get to go to this? Is there an excursion that goes here?

There are a number of onshore excursions that you can take there. It's probably best to book it prior to your arrival. It will probably also be included as part of a combined tour.
We were able to purchase a "cultural exchange" VISA, but it's probably not worth going through that exercise/expense for this one tour.
