Excellent Kamakura plus Yokohama Tour - Comfortable private vehicle was provided. Driver’s communication was very good & he was equally very courteous. The driver took the initiative to give me a link prior to each site being visited. He executed the full itinerary. Overall an excellent experience. Many thanks

Kamakura - Japan is a wonderful destination for winter travel. The weather is moderately cold but not freezing. The people are friendly and helpful and the scenery is spectacular. Our visit to Kamakura was exceptional.

Best day in Kamakura & Yokohama! - This day tour from Tokyo was absolutely incredible. Our driver, Mac, was very easy to communicate with and went above and beyond his chauffeur duties to explain the sights and make sure we were comfortable - thank you so much for the awesome day! It was also great how he was flexible while we took our time at some sights and then moved faster through others, along with accommodating our itinerary change to see the Christmas Market in lieu of two of the sights on the original itinerary. And back to our hotel by 6pm! Would 100% recommend this day tour to friends and family when they visit for sure. Kamakura & Yokohama are must-sees. 5 stars! ⭐️

Our amazing Kamakura and Yokohama trip - My family and I were very much overjoyed with our Kamakura and Yokohama experience. The road to Kamakura is not one easy task as far as driving is concerned. You will need someone who is an expert to drive safely and at the same time, make the passengers feel at ease and have the most memorable trip to remember. That’s exactly what Sir Abdul did for us! We are grateful and thankful for this experience. Thank you Sir Abdul, Sluzeb Tours and Viator/TripAdvisor. You are highly recommended.

Considerate and nice guy - Yuuta is a considerate and nice driver. He came to the pickup address, our airbnb house, 30 minutes, waited for us patiently, then drove us to a fun-filling day trip to Kamakura and Yokohama. He is very flexible in terms of scheduling and timing etc. we had a good day.

Great tour if you feel comfortable in Japan and do not need any local information - Great experience for us but if you are looking for a guide this tour is not for you. My partner has visited the Tokyo area for decades and without his local knowledge this tour would not have been enjoyable. Due to his extensive knowledge this tour was perfect for us. We saw so many areas and I was able to see so much of the surrounding area of Toyko that this tour was perfect for us. If we had a guide we would not have seen the quantity of places we enjoyed

Kamakura and Yokohama private tour - The Kamakura temples and grounds were great and the short time we had in the city was amazing. The schedule only allowed a short visit to Yokohama Chinatown when longer should really have been allocated. Unfortunately, the Pakistani driver was not very knowledgeable and did not contribute much to the tour
