I really enjoyed this tour! I generally like history of alcohol museums/distillery tours, and I thought this one in particular was pretty interactive and well thought out. Our guide, Piotr, was very extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. And the vodka tasting was next level! Vodka is usually my spirit of choice and I feel like I have a whole new appreciation for it. Highly recommend!
