Reviews
Review for: Sendai Station Transfer Day Tour without Meals
A Japanese tour leader who speaks Chinese made the SUP experience very enjoyable. Their attention to safety was also very reassuring, and the taxi driver was excellent. The day tour, including the whiskey distillery and the Dìngyì, was a lovely and worthwhile itinerary.
