My friends and I live in Tokyo and wanted a mini get-away to this beautiful wine region situated at the basin of Mt. Fuji. This tour was ESSENTIAL to us enjoying our time to its fullest here. While one could train there and back to the city, the wineries themselves are very spread out and mind you the walks are all steeply up hill of the mountains. It’d be very inconvenient to walk place to place. Renting your own car is an option to some, but then you can’t drink and enjoy the wineries. But now having a PRIVATE tour with a DRIVER who’s KNOWLEDGEABLE and takes you to the BEST KNOWN WINERIES in the area (plus TOURS of vineyards, cellars, and facilities OF ALL)?! That’s worth the money and time, as well makes the experience overall all the better! I’m so glad to have picked this specific booking because they gave us access to Suntory, Chateau Mercian, and L’Orient… 12 full glasses of wine in 6 hours plus complete tours… INSANE! I could have never been able to book these places myself. The person I communicated with on Viator was awesome, efficient, and worked magic as I booked very last minute and he was still able to get us reservations to all these places. Our driver and tour guide, Douglas (shoutout Douglas), was great, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I’ve already told many people about this booking and how much fun it was.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! I’m really glad to hear you and your friends had such a great time on the wine tour. It was a pleasure taking you around Yamanashi’s beautiful wine country. It was great that we could make the last-minute reservations work, and I’m happy you enjoyed visiting Suntory, Chateau Mercian, and L’Orient — 12 glasses in 6 hours is impressive! 🍷 I truly appreciate your kind words and shoutout. Hearing that you’ve already recommended the tour to others really means a lot. Wishing you more unforgettable getaways, and I hope to see you again on another adventure! Warm regards, Outech Douglas
