“March in Okinawa”
We were 2 months late in sharing review as busy with other commitments in life. After an enjoyable experience for a half day Miyazaki tour (Mar 2025), we engaged GoWithGuide again. Truly grateful that GoWithGuide was able to swiftly respond and accommodate our requests with less than a month before start of trip. We booked consecutive days of customized tours and had the same driver throughout 4 days. The vehicle was spacious, smelled like a brand new car and most importantly spotlessly clean! Gasha-san was always punctual, a safe driver and very good at keeping his composure on the road including traffic jams. He was familiar with directions and occasionally using small roads to arrive at destinations, skillfully avoiding heavy traffic on highway. Gasha-san also recommended the estimated time to spend at each place. Of course, the duration could be flexibly adjusted within the committed duration for the tour and based on your interest for specific locations. If you are planning to visit Olu Grill, cater 1.5 hours for lunch / dinner and make sure you also buffer sufficient time for slower highway traffic on the way back to Naha city center. 1 hour for meal is too rushed because the serving at the restaurant is not very fast. :) We enjoyed our trip very much primarily thanks to Gasha-san.
