5.00Jack was amazing. We arrived in Japan for the first time and had no idea about the area of Yokohama where we were staying. Jack not only showed us the sights but gave us the best tips for navigating Yokohama. He had an answer to all our questions and was really easy to get on with. 100% well worth the tour
We did the full day trip to Kamakura. Our guide was Jack and he made our day a memorable one. He is so kind, helpful and super k

5.00After 10+ tours in 12 weeks, Jack is absolutely the best guide out there. Incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to answer all of our questions and introduced us to some local cuisine which was outstanding. If you’re booking, ask for Jack by name. A week + after and I am still impressed by the guy. Fantastic English speaking too. See the pics I attached. He knows right where to take you!!!!
Perfect guide

5.00The Day Tour of Kamakura was outstanding and an excellent value. Jack's knowledge of history, culture and all things in Kamakura made for a delightful experience. His English is impeccable and his time in the US makes him easy to relate to. I highly recommend him!
