Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Sue our brewery guide provided an entertaining and fast-paced tour of this historic brewery. By the end, we knew our wort from our well water, the origin of "bottoms up" and much more. Best of all, you get to try all the beers.

This is an extremely interesting tour around the brewery including learning about its long history. Our guide Sue was very knowledgeable, answered all questions and is clearly very passionate about Fullers beers. The tastings at the end were a great finale to the tour!

I have never had such a great tour! Jill was the sweetest lady I have ever meet and explain the beer brewing process so well. I was not really interested in the tour at first because I’m not a big beer drinker but Jill made the whole thing intriguing. Explaining how things were made and I was enthralled the entire time. She joked with us and made everyone in the group smile! If you are looking for an educational beer tour with an AMAZING guide this is for you.

Amazing tour! Our tour guide Jill was absolutely lovely and super informative. She immediately knew the answers to any questions and was super sweet and friendly. She has a real passion for what she does and it shows in the quality of her tours. The tour itself was fascinating as well, as someone who has brewed at home it was incredible seeing the process I had done in my garage on such a large scale. The tour takes you through active work sites and gives you a true look into the daily operations of one of London's finest breweries. Amazing 10/10 tour and the tasting experience at the end is a great time to try some of Fuller's finest beers and chat with friends or your tour guide about what you just saw. Already looking forward to the next time I can tour!

This was a fantastic tour. The guide was very informative and didn’t miss anything out, from the history of the brewery and Fullers to the brewing process. There was also a tasting afterwards.

Where is the best place to park? Unfortunately not in a position to get the train :(

There will be on street parking either just off the A316 or behind the brewery on the banks of the Thames. I suspect it's metered so you'll have to pay a few pounds. Good luck.
