Fantastic cozy and thorough introduction to the world of the gin. - It was a fantastic and cozy experience with great stories and lovely gin. We became smart about gin in general and got a good story on the history of the place. James was a both nice and funny narrator.

Definitely worth booking! - We were only in Edinburgh for a day, and this was a great tour following a busy start. We had a gin & tonic on arrival, then tasted three south loch gins, followed by a cocktail at the end. We booked as a group of 4 and there were 5 others in this tour. It was a lively and very interesting gin tour, and the guide, Neil, was great and very knowledgeable!
