Go & buy an experience its excellent - We were bought this as part of a Virgin experience present. The experience was excellent. The brothers who own the business are so knowledgeable and give a very interesting talk which keeps your attention. Plenty of gin or rum to sample at the end and advice on which mixers go with the different flavour gin or rum It will certainly make a great present for friends & family.

Well worth a visit - Chris, Dave and Sam were great. All 3 made the experience interesting, relaxed and enjoyable. Gins and rums were all so good. Right amount of time spent giving the history behind gin, rum and the business, the tour and the tasting. Well worth a visit to this family run business...be sure to purchase some goods on your way out...

Cost of tickets were very reasonable for the trip and the experience. Length of time of boat trip was 1 hour which was perfect we then as a family spent more time in Stratford. The crew and the other attendees on the boat made a great atmosphere. All in all staff and experience were fantastic with some fantastic gin which we of course came away with 😜

More to rum and gin than I thought... - A really entertaining and informative couple of hours spent listening and interacting with staff/owners who are clearly very enthusiastic and knowledgeable in what they do. Recommend it highly! Oh and the gin/rum tasting was certainly not a disappointment.

Brilliant gin tour - We really enjoyed this tour. We were there for nearly two hours. The tour guides knowledge was exceptional. It wasn’t gimmicky but very very interesting and the guide was clearly passionate about the family business. Great value for money with some lovely Gin tasters. Would recommend.
