5.00Madoka provided us with a wonderful overview of beautiful Yokohama. We traveled 16k steps by foot AND used both the train & subway system. We highly recommend that you allow Madoka to tailor your tour time together to meet your needs. Madoka feels like a new friend!

5.00This was an unforgettable trip that I will forever treasure! Estela was the best tour guide and made sure I got to do everything on my bucket list and more! While in Japan, I wanted to see as much as I could and even just get comfortable using the train and finding my way places. Estela was able to not only get me comfortable doing so, she was also such a joy to spend the day with. We took the scenic route and I got to see so many things I would not have even known to look for had I been traveling by myself. Some of my favorite things that we did included going to a Japanese temple and walking around there, and also we went to an all you can eat noodle shop where the noodles slide down a bamboo shoot and you need to use chopsticks to collect the noodles before they slip past you. The entire time I was with Estela was the best time and she even went out of her way to help me find a place where I could but a kimono, it was something I wanted to do while in Japan, and she made sure I got to do it. It really was an incredible way to explore the area and it made my trip to Japan!
I never would have realized what a beautiful town Yokohama has to offer. If it wasn’t for Hiroshi and his experience.

3.00Our tour guide Estelle did not have a sign to meet us and I had to call her to know who she was. When we used a taxi she charged it and asked us for cash. She was informative and pleasant but I would not recommend her because she used up our cash on taxis and entrance fees.
Perfect day!

5.00We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide Estela covering as many of the main attractions of the city as we could driving the time we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our day- the waterfront area, the spectacular garden show going on, other gardens throughout the city, Chinatown, shopping areas and other sights we were able to get to! Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings and areas. Highly recommend this tour and our very sweet and awesome tour guide!
A wonderful tour of Kamakura with an excellent guide

5.00Yasuho planned a wonderful tour for us to Kamakura out of Yokohama. He provided interesting commentary and his English was excellent. It was fun riding around on the trains and buses to our various destinations. Yasuho advised us to buy a Suica pass for all internal Japan travel at the airport when we arrived - excellent advice - it was invaluable. He also recommended a great place for lunch for Soba noodles and Tempura.
