Charming and captivating tour with a brilliant guide! - This was such a wonderfully charming and captivating day tour of Kamakura, made even more special because Maki was such a brilliant and generous guide and host! I learnt so much about Kamakura, and also about Japanese culture and history from her - she is definitely one of the best guides I’ve had! We discovered so many hidden, interesting and rather magical places during the tour. I cannot tell you how delighted I was to have signed up for this tour! Definitely for the curious traveller who loves exploring and learning about interesting places. Maki-san domo arigato gozaimasu, I hope to go on more tours with you in future!

Very fun and informative. - Excellent tour, would not change a thing! Mika was one of the best tour guides I've ever had! Very fun and very informative. Kamakura is a great day trip from Tokyo and this tour was a great start to it. Incorporated a lot of information in a manageable way and leaves enough time to explore Kamakura before leaving at night. Even better to stretch it to a couple days.

Beautiful Kamakura - I took an amazing tour with Maki around Kamakura. She has a deep knowledge of Kamakura and shared so much historical information about the area, and she was able to answer all of my questions as well. I would recommend a tour with Tokyo Localized to experience everything Kamakura has to offer.
