Great Kamakura Visit with Tatsuko - Very nice tour guide who spoke excellent English. The group ended up being a private tour as it was just our family. We got to move at our own pace. Guide gave us great history about city and got to witness a traditional wedding at the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. I would highly recommend using.

Great Historical Tour - Our tour guide was amazing. She had lots of interesting facts and details about the history of the area that made the tour so much more valuable than if we walked around on our own.

Quick tour of Kamakura. - The tour was exactly what we had hoped for. Tatsujo was very knowledgeable. Recommend stopping at the Kita-Kamakura Station (1 hop) on the way back to Yokohama. There are more amazing shrines and much less people.

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.
