Amazing! - The Kamakura tour was amazing! The booking process was very efficient and easy. I chose to be picked up from my hotel, and my guide, Raffa, picked me up on time and dropped me back at the same place. Raffa is very knowledgeable, speaks fluent Japanese, and is friendly, helpful, and highly professional. He absolutely deserves five stars! I would gladly recommend this tour and book for future tours if and when I need a guide in Japan. Thank you so much!

Amazing tour of Kamakura - We had a phenomenal tour of Kamakura and Tom was the best tour guide, extremely outgoing, accommodating and helpful in giving us advice on what to see and where to eat. It was a magical experience and the different sites we saw in Kamakura were memorable.

Great tour in an amazing city! - We had an amazing time on this tour, guide was super nice and gave us a lot of informations about Kamakura (such a wonderful city) and Japanese culture, took us to a really nice restaurant and gave us a lot of advices for the rest of our trip. He also showed us another sanctuary (Hansobo shrine) which was a bit hidden and less known, with an amazing view on Mount Fuji. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing Tour, we got to... - Amazing Tour, we got to visit the most important places in Kamakura + some extra uncrowned temples that were very nice. Our guide Brian was great and he made the entire day very fun.

Completr Kamakura experience - Long walking in Kamakura between temples, so not best for hot season or people with limited mobility

Complete Kamakura - We hired this tour to have a more complete Kamakura experience. Our guide, Vino, picked us up at the hotel on time. Your English is perfect. Transportation to Kamakura was by train, at our expense (this is not clear from the offer), and took slightly more than an hour. Once in Kamakura, all journey is on foot, about 5-6 hours, including stairs and slopes. This is important to know, for people with mobility or health problems (this was not our case) or for the summer season. It's a physically demanding course. Entrance fees to temples and lunch are not included. Our guide was very friendly and told us many things about life in Japan, from the perspective of a young person. However, we miss more information about the history of the places we visit. We visited many temples, some of them small and off the tourist crowd route, which has its charm. The price of the tour seems expensive, considering that it only includes the presence of the guide, who is not an expert in the history of Kamakura. For that price, it should include local transportation, which avoids walking for up to 30 minutes between temples, especially in hot weather.
