Great way to experience a blend of historic and renaissance Japan. The temples were interesting and unique. The traditional Japanese lunch was great!

Jewell was our guide and she did a great job. She has a really good eye for the best spots to take photos and provides a lot of information about each of the sites we visited. She even held the bus and called me when I got lost briefly while returning to the bus. Thanks for all your help!!

Well organised. Friendly staff, helpful, good enough English to understand. Never rushed through, so more than enough time for each venue. Highly recommended.
