Fantastic Experience! Excellent Guide!

Published on Nov, 2023

Marc was incredible! So knowledgeable, adaptable to our interests and engaging. He was particularly attentive to helping us with walking issue - locating all the elevators and making the trip easy for us. He was very good at small details and made this a lovely day for our family.

Kamakura Day Trip

Published on Dec, 2019

Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. The trip was as smooth as possible and he shared a wealth of knowledge about our trip and Japan as a whole. Highly recommended.

Great day out of the city

Published on Nov, 2019

A great trip and we really enjoyed getting out of the city for the day. Our guide - Kento - was brilliant and as well as being a great guide he also gave us a great insight into Japanese life. There is loads to see in Kamakura and easy to see why they call it the Kyoto of the east. We were able to get around the city quickly and efficiently on e-bikes which we hired next to the rail station.

Full Day Trip To Kamakura

Published on Oct, 2019

We were a party of four, and wanted an in-depth immersion into the history of Kamakura. We were so lucky to have Martin as our guide! Martin is extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of our questions. He is a real professional! He promptly met us at our hotel at the prearranged hour. Took us to Kamakura by Metro and JR trains, explaining both mass-transit systems to us along the way. Martin had already planned out an exciting and informative itinerary, tailored to our interests. We covered every one of the major sites, with Martin providing all the background info. He is humorous, has a great personality, and is a real "people person," You would be very lucky to have Martin as your tour guide!
