    Grand experience but not that interesting for the average person without a special interest in this.
    Drink up

    This is a treat. You learn all about the incredible making of BOLS. It's an experience of the senses. I enjoyed the museum.

    I didn’t expect to be interested in distillery when I started the tour. I’ve learn so many interesting details . The tour worth it itself. But when I got to the bar- I was absolutely amazed with. Professionalism and skills of bartenders! Top notch!!!!
    Great little tour

    Great little tour lasting about one hour all about Bols, and a great cocktail at the end of the tour.
    Fascinating Genever Experience

    Great experience and the cocktails were delicious. We learned about the history and got to select our own flavors for the drinks!
    Poor experience for the money
    Christine_B, Jun 2023
    A lot of it was not working. The staff were excellent though they had many technical issues so I was disappointed as I had been there before some years ago and it was much better. The tech wreaked the experience
    Great experience for cocktail lover's
    Edward_N, Jun 2023
    Great choice of cocktails at the end, with a very good gift shop, at very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.
    Great cocktails and well organised and informative tour
    Nina_G, Jun 2023
    Lovely place, learnt so much on the guided tour and our cocktails were amazing. Great variety of all flavours in the gift shop and loved the interactive smell tests and experience room. Thanks for a great evening.
    Good experience

    We missed out on cocktails making experience,but self guided tour was ok… there was a mad rush at the bar… had to wait for a bit… but nevertheless was fun tasting the cocktails and the enthusiasm the bartenders had making them!

    Nice visit, but à little...
    Spits_D, Mar 2023
    Nice visit, but à little too short. The cocktail at the end was really tasty and it’s cool to see the barman made it
    Not the best

    Thanks for the compliments.
    Thoroughly enjoyed this tour...
    Robert W, Nov 2017
    Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Interesting to learn a bit about the history and how the liqueurs are made. Then the samples at the end. The girl behind the bar asked me to name my favourite cocktail. Then she proceeded to make a fabulous clone of a pina colada using Bols liqueurs.
