Reviews
Our guide Caleb was excellent. We could have never gotten to or appreciated these sites without him. He was kind, patient, and personable. What a great impression of Japan he gives!
Our family of 4 had a great time with guide Vincent. He was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was nervous about finding my way to these spots myself, and wanted to understand the history and culture of the places we were visiting—this was perfect!
Very friendly and skilled tour guide Vincent! We learned interesting facts about temples and the bamboo forest. Appreciated the short coffee break mid-tour—it helped since we skipped breakfast!
