Ginning from ear to ear - We are a small company and use Imagine experiences to provide our team different fun activities at Christmas, it was good to have a choice for those who want it something more food and drink so we gave the team a choice of Best taverns in Town tour and The Gin Craze. Everyone had a great time, the guides Peter and Andy were so good and we had good tastings, recommend Imagine for companies days out, affordable too
