5.00The tour was custom tailored to what I was most interested in seeing, which was excellent since I only had one full day in Kamakura and there is so much to see. The sights here were magnificent on their own, but the guide Lauren really elevated the experience! She had answers and information about everything we saw, from historical places/events all the way to modern customs. She timed the schedule really well, allowing a good pace while making sure I had enough time at each stop. Even when the tour ended, she helped me plan out the rest of my day and see some sights I am very glad I got to see. It was a real pleasure to have her as a guide, and I would highly recommend both her and this tour!
