Japan Tour Reviews

Wonderful insight into samurai and kamikaze culture, rounded out with beautiful scenery

Yaron was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. He was very cognizant of meeting our expressed interests by showing us some hidden treasures along the route and some great photography spots. We enjoyed our walk through Chiran among the former samurai houses and amazing gardens while learning some history. A quick stop at the museum for kamikaze gave us some insight into their sacrifice. Seeing tea fields from a high vantage point was lovely. Later we were able to eventually get a good view of the volcano from a couple of different spots. The sea horse farm was enchanting in such an out of the way spot with such panoramic views. Lunch was a lot of fun at a unique restaurant by a waterfall fishing noodles for our soup out of a spinning container filled with fresh spring water. All in all, a very pleasant day led by a wonderful guide who sincerely wanted to do his best for our tour. Highly recommend.

Dear Mary, Thank you so much for your warm and wonderful review. It really made my day... I also had a great time with you. Right from the start, I felt a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere, and that is something I really appreciate. I always get excited when I guide, and you made it to become even more fun (-: We were also lucky with the weather! The rain started only when we were on the way back to the ship — perfect timing. It was truly an amazing day. I wish you a great trip around Japan. And if you come back to Kagoshima, please remember that this area still has many beautiful and special places to explore. Warm regards,

Great Time.

Prompt and Friendly guide. Wish we had more time.

Best tour in Kyoto we could have wished for!

We were a group of four (my husband, my father, my step-mom and I) and had just arrived in Japan for our 3 week trip. It was our first day in Kyoto and we wanted to have a tour to get a good feeling of what the city has to offer. We asked Robert to focus on cultural and culinary musst-Sees. And what can I say: we got it! We had a lovely day with great insights into the city and it‘s rich and colourful sights. Since we are not the type of group who runs from one spot to another we matched perfectly with Robert who adjusted to us and our needs - have a break here, eat some new and unknown things there and maybe also just have a rest and enjoy the nature that surrounds us. So if you are looking for a guide who attends to your needs as a group and adjusts to it easily - go with Robert. We would recommend having a tour with him anytime, no doubts!

I am so very glad you all had a wonderful time in Kyoto and were very happy with my tour. I’d be delighted to be your tour guide again next time! Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

Private Tours in Japan

Learning about Japan has never been easier with our local, expert tour guides leading the way, from a tour through Okayama, to the inner gems of Shikoku.

Ready to take on Japan’s sites and go beyond the usual? Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter is a beautifully preserved Edo-period district, and with a knowledgeable tour guide, you can encounter traditional architecture, willow-lined canals, and charming shops. From historical context, to share stories about the area, it’s time to see the land of the rising sun the right way.

To see a side of Japan not commonly noticed, talk to a local tour guide about peaceful pockets of relaxation like Iya Valley, a rugged setting with high cliffs, vine bridges, and traditional thatched-roof houses waiting to be explored.
