5.00The experience was great with our guide. She spoke perfect English but there was a lot of walking from one brewery to another. With very tired feet and legs it can be very tiring.

5.00One of the best tours we've ever taken - Marin was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and she made the experience fun. We felt like she had a lot of passion for the history and tradition of sake production and she was careful not to bias us in our evaluation of lots of different sake types and varieties! Would recommend her highly as a guide.

5.00My guide was helpful, informative, and enthusiastic. The tour price included samples at a tasting room as well as tickets and samples at the sake museum. He showed us around the Kobe brewing area. This is a great tour to book if you plan on seeing KOBE/OSAKA/KYOTO before or after the tour. Definitely worth it, a highlight of our trip.
