Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Very Good Guide !!”
Our party of 4 spent three most enjoyable and informative days with Shinya Endo. He was well prepared to show us the sights. Rain made it necessary to adapt the itinerary and he easily adapted. Shinya was accommodating when we expressed interest in things outside of the usual. He patiently and repeatedly showed us how to use the ticket machines for the subway system. He was knowledgeable, clearly explaining as we went along, and also very helpful in suggesting restaurants when we asked for suggestions. At the end of our time with him, we all felt that we had a friend in Tokyo. A five star guide.

Day 5 (March 29, 2024); Yokohama Walking Tour from Tokyo
Customized
“Yokohama trip”
Similar to Kamakura, it's a wonderful place, but there was too much time spent travelling between the attractions. Besides that Shinya-san again was very nice and always looked after us and offered any support he could give.

I understand that it took a little bit long time from your staying hotel to Yokohama City, but I am sure you enjoyed walking around the cith of Yokohama. For example, you was able to see the panoramic view from the observation deck of Yokoham Land Tower. I hope you had a nice memories of Yokohama, also. Shinya

Day 4 ( March 28, 2024): One Day Kamakura Walking Tour from Tokyo
Customized
“Kamakura Visit”
Despite the very long travel from Tokyo to Kamakura, we managed to spend a good time in this ancient capital of Japan. Definitely a worthy place to visit. Maybe for a one day trip we spent too much time on trains or walking from point A to point B instead of actually seeing the important sites. Still a great place to visit.

(31 reviews)Dear alyubomir, Thank you so much for your review. Regarding Kamakura, I understand that it took a little bit long from your hotel in Tokyo to Kamakura sightseeing sites in Kanagawa Prefecture. But I am sure you were able to see the sites, such as the Great Buddha Statue, and other nice sites. I hope you had a wonderful memories in Kamakura. Shinya
