Gin distillery tour. - Brilliant experience, which lasts around 2 hours, the guide was very informative and fun. Nice to make your own G&T at the beginning of the tour. Recommended.

Great cocktail making master class - The cocktail making session was great fun whilst also showing how to make 3 very different cocktails. The guide taking us through making the cocktails, really made sure that everyone had a great tour. The distillery tour was really good - particularly liked the glasshouses with the plants of the botanicals. Interesting history behind the buildings even if the history is not as a distillery. Great afternoon out - but make sure you are not driving after the cocktail master class!

Excellent informative tour. - We fully enjoyed our tour of the distillery, the guide was very knowledgeable and had a fun way of presenting his knowledge. We enjoyed our gin and tonic that was part of the £20 price we paid for the tour.

Highly recommend - Had a really enjoyable afternoon at the Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery (Tour and Gin Cocktail). Luke was our guide who was very personable and extremely knowledgeable and made the tour all the more worthwhile. It was fairly busy with tours, but they are managed very well and everyone has enough time to take photos and look around the designated area. Had a coffee in the cafe as we arrived a little early and the staff were all very friendly. I would highly recommend this tour, whether you are a gin lover or not!

Enjoyable afternoon - A wonderful time at Bombay Sapphire Distillery. Our guide, Maddie, was friendly and knowledgeable making for a throughly enjoyable tour. After the tour, a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a gin cocktail on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Would recommend.

Great Gin experience - Excellent experience. The tour is interesting, starting with a G&T. Nick gave an informed and not at all rushed tour. Although the site is very small, it is picturesque. Maddie stepped in to explain the brewing process, as electric wheelchairs are not allowed in the actual distilling area. Potential explosive gas risk with the batteries! We had a gin cocktail experience after the tour, lasting about an hour. Ellie was a fabulous tutor / host with a sense of humour 3 different cocktails to make / taste. We retired to the bar for a couple more afterwards. Great visit, and actually good value. Dont drive though!
