Wonderful tour - Great day touring around various temples and shrines outside Tokyo. Many koi ponds which I loved and the Big Buddha was spectacular.

Great Value - No frills bus tour of Kamakura and Enoshima! Our guide May was lovely and energetic, she took us to the main attractions around Kamakura. Note: this isn’t a guided tour, more like a curated bus hop on hop off ride. May gave us some fun facts but didn’t take us around each location. Perfect for more independent travelers.

A little disappointed - You are on your own during each stop. You get a little background on each stop on the bus, but it wasn’t what I expected.

Disappointment - I was looking forward to the trip but the guide provided minimal information on the bus on the sites and provided no true guide experiences at the sites. The tour was little more than a bus trip to the location with minimal information provided.

Waste if Money - The advice given on the pick up point is very confusing. There were lots of people milling about in total chaos. I asked a rep twice if our coach was coming and he said it was. Suddenly the crowds thinned and we were the only two left standing and no coach turned up. Waste of time and money. Will be contacting operator for a refund.
