Our ship was docked in Tokyo overnight and so, I booked the Private Kamakura & Yokohama Tour (10 hrs.) & the Private Tokyo Tour (6 hrs.) back-to-back with Viator, specifically with Japan Star Travel Agency as the tour operator. Amy, the tour operator representative, reached out to me immediately after I booked the tours. There were 7 in our group for the Kamakura/Yokohama Tour & 8 of us for the Tokyo tour. Amy was very responsive to our group’s questions, accommodating to our requests & gave us sound advice on our itineraries for both days. We were picked up by 2 guys named Toshi & to avoid confusion, we called our guide, Toshi G. & our driver, Toshi D. The 2 Toshis picked us up promptly at the Tokyo pier on the 1st day & at our Tokyo hotel on the 2nd day. We were able to visit the places on our itineraries on both days plus an extra brief stop at the Tokyo Tower (Eiffel Tower replica). Toshi G. & Toshi D. were both very nice & polite. Toshi G. was very knowledgeable & Toshi D. was just so sweet, giving us Japanese treats to try on both days. The highlight of our 2-day tour was renting our kimonos in Kamakura & taking amazing photos at the Bamboo Garden (also drank matcha tea there) & at the Great Buddha Temple. The only damper was that we only had a few minutes at the entrance of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo the next day & didn’t have time to walk the palace grounds because the lines to get to the Sky Tree were so long even though we already purchased prepaid tickets. Our last stop was Shibuya Crossing which was crazy & fantastic at the same time - taking photos with Hachiko’s statue was such a challenge but we managed. All in all, our 2-day tour with Toshi G. & Toshi D. left us with incredible experiences & wonderful memories of Kamakura, Yokohama & Tokyo.

Both tour guide and driver were prompt, friendly and very helpful. The car was very comfortable. Yokohama/Kamakura are 1-1.5hrs from Tokyo, but so very different in terms of vibe and energy. Kamakura had a fun beach town vibe to it, and Yokohama is much larger but has some interesting sites as well. Our guide was able to share local history and knowledge to make the trip more meaningful. The company helped craft a great private tour from a list of different options, and even booked a lovely 5-star sushi lunch for us in Kamakura. I would definitely recommend this tour company.
