Tours at Jensen's Gin - Virgin Tours
We had the most amazing experience at Jensen's Gin. The host Charlie was Captivating , and absolutely hilarious! Even if you don't drink Gin, the history is incredible. We were gripped the whole evening, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. After learning about the distillery, we had more fun sitting at the bar and testing the cocktails!! Highly recommended, and we had the best time!!Thank you!!

History of Gin and excellent tasting experience
A fantastic experience not to miss out on at a neat little gin distillery not far from central London. Hosts Angus and Michael were both welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Gin. A fun experience where you learn about the origins of gin and taste some of their products.

Very entertaining experience
Our guide was Angus. He was very entertaining and gave a brief history from where gin came from and how it’s developed over the years. Thank the Dutch basically! We got plenty of samples to try and we bought some lovely cocktails and a bottle of gin. Can highly recommend this experience. Many thanks, Denis and Jon (Slightly hungover now ;-))

Awesome evening
This voucher was bought for us as a present. We knew nothing of Jensen’s before we arrived. Charlie our host was welcoming and we had a G&T on arrival. Then we proceeded to a gin history and tasting. Charlie’s knowledge and enthusiasm made for a very educational and memorable evening. We then had a tour followed by the perfect Dry Martini using their lovely gin. I would definitely recommend this.

Great gin tasting highly recommend
My son bought this experience as a Mother’s Day gift for 2 so took a friend. Lovely friendly lady who did the gin tasting day. When we arrived we were all given a lovely big Jensens g and t in a lovely bowl glass with loads of ice. We all sat down a round table and she talked all about the history of gin and the story behind Jensens gin how it’s made etc. They make 2 gins so we tried them and then both you had a chance to buy another g and t using a different tonic if you wanted.

Great Day Out
We made a day of it watching Tower bridge open for a yacht to go through. At the distillery we were welcomed with a Gin and Tonic over ice which went down a treat after our walk of about a mile. The building is in an arch under the railway so lots of atmosphere and appreciated the blanket as it was cold inside. We were a group of strangers but soon (?the Gin talking) broke the reserve. Tasted the herbs used in manufacture and the two gins they manufacture. Most enjoyable experience.

I thought that it was an excellent tour given by a very engaging and informed guide. As well as the gin itself we were given a really interesting history of gin in the UK and Jensen's also. I would absolutely recommend this as a way to spend a few hours.

Helga was friendly, welcoming and informative. Nice selection of samples. Good differentiator to offer gin martini to finish. It was not easy to find the location. The promised email with walking directions was promised twice, but was not received.

Great Gin Experience
Very interesting facts about gin in general and Jensen's Gin specifically. We had some samples of Jensen's Gin with a local tonic which was delicious. We were very lucky that we were in a very small group. The only downside was that it wasn't easy to find easpecially in the dark!

Really Quite Nice
Interesting and informative explanation of the history of Gin and Jensen’s Gin in particular. The ‘tour’ element was a bit lacking and things like very wobbly stools took away from the experience a bit. Very good, but lacked the sparkle to be a 5 star experience compared to others in this price category.

Handed a G&T on arrival nice and friendly last for about an hour very interesting talk about the history of gin and a chat about how Jensen Gin came about. Tried samples of gin when there. Only issue I had when buying a bottle to take home no discount, been to other places who give you £5 of a bottle.
