Cocktail Masterclass - We can’t remember the woman’s name, apologies, however the American woman was such a lovely and informative person and would highly recommend this to anyone, she made us feel very welcome and was lovely to talk to. This is definitely a great activity for couples and would highly recommend. I would definitely come back.

A Must-Do Gin Tour with an Amazing Guide - We had an absolutely delightful experience on the gin tour in Edinburgh! Our guide, Max, was nothing short of fantastic. He was charming, knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humor that kept everyone engaged. Max didn’t just share the fascinating history of gin; he brought it to life with his storytelling and passion for the craft. The tour was informative and fun, with just the right mix of history and tasting. If you’re in Edinburgh, this tour is a must-do, and it’s a pleasure to support such a wonderful business. Highly recommended!

Great couple of hours at Summerhall - I took my cousin here for a belated birthday gift. It was a great couple of hours. We both enjoyed learning about the gin making processes and our hostess Alyssa was warm and welcoming. The cocktails we made were lovely and both enjoyed the cheese pairing. Would recommend.

So glad I did this!!! - Fantastic and Flavourful!! Tasty and educational!! I really enjoyed both sides of this tour with our lovely host, Marina. Great insight and brilliant humour into the gin world. 1st half was tour and history, access most areas, second half was a very intimate tasting. I didn't like gin before...
