Highly recommended!

We had a lovely afternoon on a tour of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. From a yummy G&T to start whilst watching a film in their super comfy cinema, learning the history of the site, to a fabulous tour with Luke and ending in the bar to sample an unusual cocktail … who knew you could mix gin with so many different things! We’re definitely coming back to do the cocktail masterclass! All the team are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. We would definitely recommend a visit.

Lasted about an hour and a half, started with a gin. Educational and enjoyable experience. Would recommend.

Luxurious G&T in comfort

Easy to find and park. Luxurious G&T in comfort before walk round of historic building and architectural installation. Learnt loads about 'botanics'. Gift shop, all good.

Cheers

What a fantastic experience learning about the origins and about the buildings. well worth the visit

Lovely Day Trip

Ashley_F, Dec 2023

A great day drip from London! It was fun learning about what makes Bombay Sapphire different and how they've become such a sustainable distillery. And the best part is, your tour ends at the bar where you can try a variety of their cocktails. If you're using public transit to get there, be mindful the local bus does not have dynamic live tracking. I'd recommend pre-booking the taxi for your return to the train station!

Worth every penny.

Our tour guide, Naomi, was exceptional. Having done it a few years ago it was refreshing to come and it to have changed. The making your own G&T at the beginning was a great touch. If you are allergic to wasps though, wear repellant as they were rife on the visit.

Interesting place to visit

Very interesting place. The guide was a little rushed in her presentation. The cafe was overpriced. The cocktail bar was very good and the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable on cocktails.

Well worth a visit especially if you...

Well worth a visit especially if you are a gin lover. Our tour was taken by Helen who had a fun personality and full of information. If there was a question she couldn't answer at the time she went to find out the answer and came back to us while we were enjoying our cocktails. Would definitely go again but in the summer maybe as it is in very beautiful surroundings.
