5.00This tour was very informative and humorous. I thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing people should know…this is hard core quality gin that packs a punch if you aren’t a regular drinker. I tried gin in Scotland at another location and there were little to no affects. This one was amazingly good but very strong!
Alot of Fun

5.00This is such a gem and a must for your next trip to Edinburgh. Nestled a short walk from the Royal Mile and the University of Edinburgh is this bar that has over 100+ gins by the glass, and when you book the Gin tour, you’ll descend into the basement where the tour begins. Host was super friendly and on hand to make your experience as informative and fun as possible. Great value for money considering you got 2x G&Ts and wee tasters of each Gin neat! Great for groups - we were a stag do of 8, and had no issue whatsoever.
Delightful
