Fantastic tour with a knowledgeable guide!

Jun was the best tour guide I’ve had, his history knowledge, good spirit, and recommendations made our last day in Japan memorable. I enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn about the culture, history, and also try Japanese treats.

Fantastic tour with Keisuke!

Keisuke was fantastic. Full of facts, had fun with us and very personable. He even knew we needed a rest stop and found a matcha place for a cold drink and rest from the heat.
