5.00We had a van of six people. Cozy was a delightful tour guide. It was a 4 hour tour. She picked us up from the cruise terminal and we went to 3 places including a shopping area. Then she got us back to the ship well before our departure time.
Excellent tour of Kagoshima with Cozy

5.00We had a lovely and most excellent tour with Cozy in Kagoshima! She told us about the history of the area and the Sakurajima Volcano. We went to the Sengan-en garden which was a beautiful Japanese style garden. We also visited the downtown shopping district. I highly recommend this tour!

2.00Don’t waste your money on this tour. Take a taxi from the cruise port and buy a city tour bus ticket. The guide was nice but not very informative other than coordinating the bus schedule. Or just go straight to the gardens. Stunning
A good day

4.00The day was nice that we went around to a variety of different places. It was difficult sometimes to understand what Yoshi was saying and sometimes the group got away from each other. Otherwise, it was a good tour.
Our guide was really nice and helpful. We saw all we needed to see!

4.00The tour guide spoke very good English and was very informative. The observatory and garden were beautiful! Too little time for shopping. Also, the pick up at the marine port was great but having to make us find our way back there after our last stop was not good! Why not just take us back to the port on the bus that was driving us around!!?? We
