Amazing tour - Informative, personal tour in an intimate setting. Very educational about distilling process. Very humble about outstanding product. Highly recommend. Was not a gin person , but love it now. Don’t miss this when visiting Reykjavík.

Great time! Learned a lot... - Great time! Learned a lot about the distilling process and had the opportunity to try each product. It was just the two of us so we had a private tasting with the owner, who was very generous with the tastings. Ended up buying a bottle to bring back to the hotel because it was good, and to support the cause. Always fun visiting local distilleries when traveling.

This place is GREAT! I... - This place is GREAT! I booked the tour ahead of time for a party of four (me, wife, son and daughter in-law). Best bang for tour buck! The tour was casual, yet very informative. The tour included 3 cocktails, using all 3 Marberg Gins, and the drinks were excellent! The 3 different Marberg guns are all great and the bartender making our drinks was a true artist. Note: the bartender also works at the Drykk bar in downtown Reykjavik and his cocktails were, hands down, the best we had in all of Reykjavik! We also enjoyed chatting with the owner of the distillery, very nice guy! Marberg is great gin! Looking forward to their future whiskey offers! All the best from Virginia & West Virginia!

Great little tour and... - Great little tour and tasting at a convenient location within walking distance of where we were staying in downtown Reykjavik. Had great conversations with our host, and had several fantastic drinks. When we bought some bottles to take back home to the states he even had some travel-safe air bags to put the bottles in. Can't wait to visit on a future trip to Iceland to see the new tasting room setup when it's done! Highly recommend to any Gin fans.

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best distillery tours we’ve done! The host was very knowledgeable and the gin was excellent. We were able to taste 5 products and he asked if we wanted to taste even more at the end. He was very kind and we laughed the entire tour. The location is a quick walk from downtown. Highly recommend!

Must visit to taste the best gin ever - The owner is so passionate and the way he talks about his products is amazing. Than the tasting of his creations; The Marberg Gin is by far the best Gin & Tonic we ever tasted. The pureness, so smooth. A must visit, especially when you wanna move up in your gin experience!

I had a fantastic time... - I had a fantastic time visiting this distillery! The owner was so welcoming and knowledgeable about spirits and Iceland in general. It’s always fun to learn from someone who truly enjoys their craft and he definitely does. Also the packaging and design work for the Marberg brand are some of the best that I’ve seen. I would definitely recommend visiting this spot if you’re interested in gin or the process in general- I was able to taste 3 different types and a brennevin. Bottles are also available for purchase so you can take a piece of Iceland home with you.

Best tour ever! - This was the best tour we have ever been on. (And we have been on many) The gin was top tier and getting to understand the process behind it with the Master maker was amazing. My husband doesn’t drink gin and this is the only gin he will drink. We will be getting this gin shipped state side as soon as we get home. This is a must do tour!

Great experience! - What an amazing way to end off our trip. It was great getting to know the owner and learning more about his journey and love for gin making. We really loved the Coast Gaurd (Navy proof) gin and the Negroni. Such great value for money. This is a must for anyone travelling to Iceland. Within walking distance of the city centre.
