Definitely the best way to visit Kavalan Whisky Distillery, Yilan area, and Mr. Brown’s Castle

I highly recommend taking a private tour to Yilan, especially if you’re interested in visiting Kavalan Whisky distillery and seeing the highlights of the area. Toku of Yolo Taiwan Travel took good care of us, allowing for plenty of time at the distillery and recommending other sites to see. Local Peking-style duck for lunch was very delicious. Another benefit of having a private smaller vehicle (not tour bus) is a ride up to Mr. Brown’s Castle for coffee at the cafe! The view of the ocean from the mountain is very nice. Do it, you won’t be disappointed.

Our tour guide, Bubble, is very experienced and knowledgeable in his profession. He payed close attention to each individual's needs and addressed issues before being asked. Quickly, he become friends of everyone. We arrived Taipei at its peak temperature in summer. Bubble rearranged our (indoor/outdoor) stops to make it easier for us to mitigate the heat. In addition. he introduced local religions and culture to us while traveling on his van. He pointed out stuff that are unique in Taiwan, but was overlooked. With him by our side, it felt like we knows everything about Taiwan in a few hours. We would love to have Bubble as our guide for our future adventure in Taiwan. He is simply the best!

This was a fun relaxing trip with the best tour guide, Vincent! He was so nice, helpful, informative and his car was very comfortable. We visited KavaLan whisky distillery and sampled the goods! Then we visited an animal farm and feeding the critters was a blast - made us laugh! Vincent took so many pictures of us, too. We requested a fresh seafood restaurant and Vincent easily located one which had fresh abalone and lobster. Ended the day at Mr Brown’s castle for Whisky ice cream and a Whisky Latte! The drive included the longest tunnel through Snow Mountain. We highly recommend this tour and private is the way to go.

Steven was accommodating. Due to the inclement weather, visits to the beach was unnecessary. Mixing our own whisky at Kavalan was an interesting experience.
Kavalan is worth the visit

I recently went on a whiskey tour with Vincent Lee as our guide, and he was fantastic! Out of all the tours I've been on, Vincent was the best by far. He was super friendly, very knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. The tour itself was really fun and exciting, thanks to his enthusiasm and expertise. Highly recommend!
Great tour

Had a great tour guide, really enjoyed our trip. It was great to have a private trip with just my husband and I and we were given the time to go at our pace. Would recommend Steven as a guide.
