Lovely Private tour
We were the only couple who booked for the 2 pm tour so we got a Private tour. Lovely to hear about the history and the way it's done now. A lot of tasting of the products they make from the sugar cane as end product. Nice little shop and café. Also the little art centres around it and if you come with kids a playground is enough to spent 2 hours or so including the tour. Opposite the road were trees full of Fruitbats, lovely to hear and see as toerist. I defenately will recommend the tour and it's worth to look at Book.me for tickets it saves you a lot and you can spent it in their shop.

Understand the process
Knowledgeable, friendly staff. We were lucky to be in a small group, so everything was easy to see. Shame that some of the historical aspects that used to be on show in the past were no longer around though.
