Calling all Gin Lovers

The experience included tour and mixology session. Izzy our tour guide was friendly, professional, clearly knew her history about the distillery. Marcus w.as funny, informative during the mixology session. Overall highly recommend, you learn fact you never knew and being Indian and finding out the rupee was made at the factory many centuries ago was amazing.

Domoda · August 2026

Very interesting tour.

A fantastic look at the distilling of a famous gin. Very knowledgeable guide who explained all the processes and explained about the botanicals which are used. The site is surprisingly small to produce so much gin and I was not aware that the original factory produced bank notes. The gin flight after the tour was good as the stages of how to taste and rate gins was explained before sampling. All in all a great tour and one to be recommended.

Hot day and Cool Gin

Very enjoyable trip excellent guide, and very nice lunchtime snacks in the cafe. Beware, if approaching from the north entrance comes up a tad quickly. Could do with an advance sign.

Highly recommended tour around the Bombay distillery.

We had Debbie for our guide, who was excellent, she was enthusiastic and gave us lots of interesting facts about the distillery and how gin was made. We all enjoyed it and can recommend this tour around the distillery, which is set in a lovely part of England.

Can't beat a G&T

My partner loves her gin, and we were staying nearby, so booked a tour for our anniversary. From start to finish the whole tour was amazing. The site is beautiful and the experience is not rushed and our tour guide was brilliant, so informative, funny . The cafe was a great place to have a gin and tonic and something to eat, sitting underneath a Bombay Sapphire umbrella..

Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you chose to celebrate your anniversary with us and that you both had such an enjoyable visit. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail cost?

+

Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail take?

+

Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

Is Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 735 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail?

+

Around 257 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Bombay Sapphire Gin Distillery Tour and Cocktail start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in London?

+

London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit London?

+

May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in London?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
