Kagoshima Tour Reviews
“Cruise stop in Kagoshima with family”
We had a wonderful day with Yaron in Kagoshima. We were a family group with granparents and children. He was very flexible to adapt to our needs during the day and able to organize a tour suitable and customized for our group. He was able to organize for us not only the guided tour but also he booked for our group a van. He was both very friendly and professional. We enjoyed a lot the day and we were able to discover very nice spots of Kagoshima, especially in the area of Sakurajima.

“Chiran Town Samurai village Day Tour”
We had an excellent tour with Yaron who was very flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to get as much into the day with our reduced time due to having to rejoin our ship. We would highly recommend Yaron. 5 stars.
