Unofficial "Rum Tour" Touts in Bridgetown

Near the historic Garrison Savannah and around the Bridgetown cruise terminal, touts offer informal rum distillery tours or "insider" rum shop crawls that either never materialize or end at a private home where cash is demanded for drinks at inflated prices. Unlike the legitimate Mount Gay or Foursquare distillery tours, these are unregulated and sometimes used as a pretext to isolate tourists.
