On January 22nd, we took part in your company's Nagoya-cho Shirakawa-bo, Takayama, and Prefectural Hachiman Himori tour (car No. 1), and we had a very good day under Wang Jie's guide. Yesterday's weather was a state I wanted to experience very much, the scenery was charming, Wang Jie guide along the way in three fluent languages to explain, introduce the human landscape, seriously answer every guest question, negative

On January 22nd, we took part in your company's Nagoya-cho Shirakawa-bo, Takayama, and Prefectural Hachiman Himori tour (car No. 1), and we had a very good day under Wang Jie's guide. Yesterday's weather was a state I wanted to experience very much, the scenery was charming, Wang Jie guide along the way in three fluent languages to explain, introduce the human landscape, seriously answer each guest's questions, responsible for taking care of each guest, especially I went to the toilet to delay departure for four minutes, I very much blame myself, but instead of blaming my seventy-somethings, he comforted me, I was touched. The biggest windfall was that Jay Wang's guide helped me retrieve the very precious photos I had lost of my trip to Thailand earlier this month. In order to retrieve the photos, I turned to the technical department of UQ and Samsung mobile phones, au shops, professionals in Japan and China, as well as recent college graduate friends in the United States, all failed to solve, so quickly my blood pressure soared, I didn't think in Wang Jie's hands didn't take two minutes to solve, despite his extraneous affairs, and also warm and helpful, he is really a clear-headed, knowledgeable, very good guide, I really admire him. I feel that the cost of participating in your tour is very cheap. If we drive the car ourselves as a couple, the total cost of gas + highway + parking at the attraction is much higher than your company price. I hope to continue to follow your company to travel in the future! I also look forward to continuing my trip with your excellent guide like Jay Wang. Thank you, thank you.
We enjoyed the nature...

We enjoyed the nature mostly, the weather was so hot we couldn’t visit all areas. The trip worth to try but not during summer time. The guide was kind of boring we felt asleep on the way to the locations and she was in a hurry. Besides, there was not enough time to explore the last stop most of the tours time was taking up by the bus.
Nice trip, went by fast

It’s a nice trip, 3 different towns that are all worth a visit. The guide was helpful and spoke English well. June is a hot time to travel but the bus ride was easy and well air conditioned. The crowds were not a problem.
Our guide was very nice...

Our guide was very nice and gave explanations before each stop. He even suggested what to do with our limited time.
expect "just" transportation (and you won't be disappointed)

This “tour” was essentially transportation to the various sites. Very little explanation or description of the visited sites. That said, we very much enjoyed Shirakawa and Takayama. Because it was the holiday weekend, traffic was crazy and we could fit in gujo hachiman. The snow in Shirakawa was beautiful. Before you go on this trip, be sure to do some homework ion what you will be seeing.
Chaotic tour

Th tour was chaotic at best. The tour guides with the blue Wonder flag did not show up until 8:05 for the 8:15 tour start. We boarded the bus about 8:35. Most of the passengers spoke Chinese and the tour was geared to them. The guide only read a brief summary in hard to understand English. I have lived in Asia for more than 60 years so I can read the Japanese signage and gain a lot from it. The bus driver and guide were arguing constantly about the correct time to return to the bus. It was a beautiful day and the stops were fabulous. The bickering on the bus between the professionals made it uncomfortable.
A great way to tour these hard to reach gems of historical beauty.

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.

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.
Excellent tour guide

The views were amazing, as was our tour guide, Kiki. Highly recommend. So much to see and not enough time in Nakayama bc the plethora of shops but overall 5/5 for value, efficiency and convenience.
