Well worth it

The set up was lovely. To the display of the various teas in the bar, to the paintings, accessibility to the restroom, and the knowledge of the narrator, I was highly impressed. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the history of Twinings.

Quintessentially British!

We had a great time learning all about the history of tea, how it is grown and turned into a drink. Then we tasted different teas. Learned a lot and had great fun while doing so.

Fun and informative

Fun and informative! It started right on time. There was about an hour of a detailed review of the history of tea and the world, really. Then we did another hour of tea tasting. It was in a quiet room at the bottom of the shop. After the session we had time to browse and 10% off our purchase which was fun too!
