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
Had a lovely couple of hours sampling the guns and learning about its history. The distillery is under the arches so quite small but very well set out so there was plenty of room to explore

Jensen Gin Tour
Excellent time. Megan our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Large G&T included on arrival and a Martini cocktail towards the end. Interesting history of the origins of gin, the start up of Jensen's and an insight into the workings of a small distillery.

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.

Brilliant evening!
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.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, bit chilly under the arches
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.

Good fun but only an hour!
I had a great time at Jensen’s; lots of interesting information about the history of gin and the story behind the founder. I just felt it was over very quickly as would have liked a few more elements to fill another hour.

Good afternoon
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.

Booked as a surprise birthday present for a fellow gin lover, an interesting and fun couple of hours learning about the history of London gin and trying very tasty samples. If you love gin would recommend it.

Shame no distilling information
Enjoyed our visit to Jensons, and learning what goes into the product. However, we really wanted to know what was involved in the distilling process, this was not a tour, just a tasting session

Not much of a tour
Great long description of gin history, but the Still operates less than once a year! (You're unlikely to see any actual production) You get one measure of G&T the two minuscule measures of Jensens gin and that's it! Probably better to visit a local bar selling the gin rather than wasting your time here.
