Kamakura Tour Reviews

(5 reviews)Dear Mr.Bobby, Thank you for your review. It was my plearure to be your guide! Have a nice flight to the United states and I hope that your memories in Japan would be priceless one for you. Best regards, Sayuri
“Great guide that exceeded expectations.”
We really enjoyed and appreciated having Sayuri as a guide on our trip to Tokyo. Originally what made her our first choice is her history with Niigata that we wanted to visit. Due to our traveling situation we did not have time to make the Niigata trip and had to schedule a custom tour for the Tokyo areas that interested us just a a day or two in advance. Sayuri took our list and worked on the best way to see most of the places based on the time we set aside an provided us multiple updates. When she provided the final tour itinerary she also provided an estimate expected fees and the travel fee. She arrived at our meeting place slightly early and was patient with us while we stored our bags. Sayuri spoke English well with a Japanese accent which made communication easy. We got to see a lot of things, learn the transit system, and learn more about Tokyo and Japanese culture. After the tour we need to pickup our bags and travel by train to a ryokan in Hakone. Sayuri provided us great instructions on how to get there with alternate routes due to the train delays she looked into. She also contacted the ryokan to make sure that they would have a shuttle for us even though we were arriving late. Per my request she also provided reasonable suggestions for hotels for last moment reservations [Tip: considered twin room pushing beds together instead of double room ;-) ]

“Tokyo highlights ”
Sayuri put together an excellent tour that gave us a taster for a wide range of sites in a reasonably concise time! She was very accommodative of our kids interests and it was great to have a guide on hand to help us navigate the subway system and to answer all the little questions that we had.

(5 reviews)Hi, Ms.Sybil! I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the tour even though it's a short time. I'm also very happy to see your kids enjoy Gudetama character so much!! Now, you've already known how to use subway system and you can be like Japanese locals after your long stay in Japan:) I hope that you and your family have a lot of fun experiences in Japan! Sayuri
