Our guide was very nice...

Published on May, 2025

Our guide was very nice and gave explanations before each stop. He even suggested what to do with our limited time.

A great way to tour these hard to reach gems of historical beauty.

Published on Nov, 2024

It is not easy to access these beautiful historical towns so this very reasonably priced tour makes it all possible. We enjoyed our day immensely and our tour guide was friendly, efficient and ensured the day was well organised and everyone felt comfortable.

Well organised.

Published on Nov, 2024

Easy to find meeting place, especially if you come by taxi, just ask for Shinkansen side. Tour guide Kiki was very efficient and very sweet. A long day, but well worth it. Goucho H and Takayama seem to have a closing day on a Wednesday as most shops closed in both places.

Well organised.
