5.00Miyuki was an excellent guide. She knew a lot about each tourist site and took the time to walk with us (despite the heavy rain) and explained some interesting facts in great detail. Despite the heavy rain and drenched pants and shoes, we were dry by the time we were done with the second stop. Our driver was also very nice. 5 stars for the mural on the side of the bus of ninja's in action.

5.00A really great Tour with KC as our guide. He gave a very comprehensive description of the places we visited. We had ample time at each place & the Tour was well paced. Would highly recommend this Tour.
Tour is not what you expect based on the details they provide

3.00There was no explanation that we had to take a train to the start of the tour. They also have in the info that the total time was 4 hrs and 40 mins, however, it was well over 6 hours! Lastly, they explained that we would have a personal tour guide, however, there was one guide to 10 people. This all was very disappointing when you expect a private tour
Amazing tour!
