This was a great tour of Kagoshima that made the most of limited port time. Our guide, Cozy, made the day memorable and went above and beyond a guide's responsibility. Not only did we accomplish all the activities listed in the tour description, she planned lunch and a snack for us just because we casually mentioned a certain delicacy we wanted to try while in the city. The driver was efficient and safe. No time was wasted on logistics as he dropped us off and picked us up at ideal locations. We especially liked the volcanic ash art project that is framed and packed to take home. This tour is an excellent way to see Kagoshima in a limited amount of time.
