Super easy way to see Kamakura - Terrific value for the time, comfortable transportation and excellent tour guide, Koji. Our family of 6 enjoyed all the stops. Kamakura was quite crowded and very warm. But our guide and driver made it a lovely day with no stress. Thank you Koji and rockstar driver !

Kamakura & Enoshima bus trip - Great day trip!! Elaine was a great guide. She was very freindly, personable, helpful, engaging and resourceful. It was apparent she loves what she does...and she does it well! Mr. Fuji, the driver was great. He planned our route to give us some "bonus" views. Thank you Elaine and Mr Fuji!!

Stress free travel to Kamakura! - This tour allowed us to visit multiple sites in a comfortable and convenient manner. It was a perfect way to experience the Kamakura area and coastal region in a day. The bus transportation was very well organized. The tour guides were friendly and attentive. We really liked that the site visits were “on your own.” Great value for a full day of stress free access to amazing cultural and historical sites!

Great full day experience - We packed a lot into this tour! The value of this tour, besides our our amazing and friendly guide Kiki, is that the distances between each site make it challenging to get around on your own. Also, the stop at Enoshima was a bonus. A tip: try to grab a quick snack or light lunch at the first stop because your next chance to eat will be at Enoshima, and you want to spend time exploring, not losing time eating. Wear sturdy shoes, Enoshima is all hills and steps, though there are a few escalators. Make sure to try denim ice cream and the big seafood crackers! Great full day experience!

Our guide Michael would... - Our guide Michael would just sit on the bus and tell us how long to next stop, no commentary. Then at stops he would just tell us what time to be back on the bus, again no commentary. Also members of our group were late to those times so it cut into our time at the next stop. I felt Michael was no more than a giant stop watch. Hevdid wait for our late comers though and didnt leave them stranded as he said he would have to. The sites themselves were amazing.

Missed the Tour - DO NOT BOOK this tour. First of all, we have booked several tours in Japan since we’ve been here which is our third time.P and every single one the person who was leading the tour contacted us the night before to make sure we had someone to reach out to if there were any issues and provided very explicit directions. This company did not reach out at all. There was no tour guide as a point of contact for us to reach out to the morning of in case we had any issues. We would’ve made the tour on time if we would’ve had a little direction on which exit to take because we couldn’t find it. I messaged the company prior to the departure time and they weren’t even open so I didn’t get a response until two hours after the tour left. By that time, I was already spending money again to get my family up there. Based on other reviews that doesn’t seem like this is much of a tour and the directions to get there or confusing we are not the only ones who missed the tour. They didn’t even tell us what boss we were looking for when we got up there all my other tours provided that information the night before Save your money and book with someone else or just do the tour on your own. There are guides on Etsy that you can download for five dollars that provide excellent instructions on how to get there and how to tour the area.
