A thoroughly enjoyable experience

Robyn_T, Jun 2026
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I was thrilled to learn that there are cocktails that include whisky that I like! This tour includes 3 full size drinks that are suited to each person individually, alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.

Very entertaining

This is worth every cent of the price. More than a whiskey tour. All about the experience. Very entertaining especially the storytelling and theatric performance.

It’s much more than a tasting- it was a full multimedia show. The history and distilling process were very interesting.

Solo-worthy

A great experience that didn’t feel uncomfortable doing alone, lots of moving around and different storytelling techniques so you couldn’t get bored. As a solo traveler would’ve loved a bit more attention and maybe someone to take a photo.

Very theatrical !...

Eduarda was a very enthusiastic guide as were all the lovely people working in the show! Really theatrical and interesting educational view into how the brand got started, kind of like Disneyland for whiskey aficionados.

Had the BEST time!

Pamela_Y, Jan 2026
I learned so much about the history of Johnnie Walker, it's blends and single malts, as well as my own pallet and how I should be pairing whiskey according to my liking. They gave really good tips and flavors on how one could enjoy the johnnie walker blends, and I learned those variations are endless in the best way! This tour gave out a lot of drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic options) and the store at the end had great service as to how to compliment what we learned during our experience. 10/10 would recommend and I would even do it again!
