Good way to see a lot of Tokyo in 1 day - Kenzo did a great job before and during our tour. He helped us plan an itinerary that worked for us. He was knowledgeable of all of the places and navigated the public transportation superbly. (We probably boarded 15-20 subways or trains.)

A delightful introduction to Tokyo - The day flew by, one wonderful experience after another! Kenzo Ito was so well informed and shared historical and cultural facts galore. I fully felt his enthusiasm and it reaffirmed my personal observations of the beauty, grace and timeless serenity of our surroundings amidst moments of the hustle and bustle of life today. A great juxtaposition!

Great escape from Tokyo for a day - Yoshi took us to see the wonderful temples in Kamakura, which were magnificent, before showing us Yokohama's distinctly terrific Chinatown. We had a great time, and he was extremely knowledgeable about each of the places we visited. Anyone looking to get out of Tokyo for a fun day trip should take this tour!

Very polit,kind and helpful - Our guide Shinji was really good with taking us around Kamakura in a rainy day. He is so great with helping our 83 yo mother up and down the wet slippery stairs with patience. The only
critique that we have is when he was waiting for us at the meeting point his name badge was not visible and he did not hold a sign with our name on it so we can recognize him.

A great way to see Kamakura - Andy contacted us in advance to plan the tour, leaving nothing to chance. He got us from the cruise terminal in Yokohama to Kamakura and back via taxi, train and city bus. We wouldn’t have known how to get around on our own. He took us to the four most popular attractions in Kamakura as well as to coffee and to lunch an excellent Japanese restaurant. He explained everything well and in excellent English.

Great day in Kamakura - Mizutome Yuichi was an excellent guide. His English was very good and he showed us all of the shrines and temples that we asked to see. He was sensitive to our pace and took us for a delicious Ramen meal. We highly recommend him!
