General comments: 7/10 Smooth, if a bit impersonal tour with all the right ingredients. Mixing of school class kids with adults did not work for either. 43/60

Lots of info, lots of  friendly assistance and an incredible pride of being a Hennessy guide. Multilingual perfection!

Wrapped around Richard Hennessy, the founder

Knowledgeable guide made this a real pleasure. His blending explanation was first rate.

Visitors were offered VSOP and CognacTonic but all Hennessy products were available to taste on request.

House shop: 10/10

The best shop of all, well displayed products, easy to move around and touch them. Friendliness and Hennessy pride beams all around.
