A leisurely day (even if it was in the snow and rain) - This was the perfect kind of tour for me. The tour guide did most of the talking while we were enroute, and when we reached the destination she texted and emailed us points of interest for us to explore on our own. I really liked that. The bus was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The driver was professional and courteous too. All in all 100% 💯

Thank you George - you did amazing! 🤩 - Today we took the tour with George as our guide. We traveled from Tokyo to Kanazawa, and yes, it was a long day. But it was absolutely worth it. Not only because you get to visit some really great places in Japan, but above all because George is an amazing guide. With his incredible sense of humor, great dedication, and lots of funny and informative anecdotes about the country and its people, George makes the tour what it is. We travel a lot and have booked many tours, but this one was the best so far. We left Tokyo very early and arrived in Kanazawa still tired. The plan was to get some sleep on the bus, but thanks to George, the bus rides to the different spots were so exciting and entertaining that our tiredness vanished. George did a truly magnificent job. And you can tell that he loves his job. Hats off to this achievement. George, that was first class. Thank you so much for the great day!

A beautiful day in shirakawago - We spent a nice day with this tour operator thanks to the guide George who accompanied us explaining everything and also giving us some goodies about Japanese habits. I recommend you to do this excursion with them and with George Yamafuji.

Great experience - Fantastic experience. Shirakawago is a medieval village that still maintains some original buildings. The views are very beautiful, especially with the snowy landscape. George made the trip very entertaining by telling anecdotes about Japanese culture. I recommend it 100%

Smurfland - Quick booking made this so easy on Klook. Such a wonderful town that looks like a hidden Smurfland. Angeles was an effective guide, providing an overview on the bus and allowing us to roam around free and easy
