Jack was so knowledgeable and nice. We learned a lot on the tour and was able to stop at local shops for snacks and souvenirs. Totally recommend!
We had a perfect day. Jack is super knowledgeable and we had the perfect mix of temples, shrines, ramen and shopping. Beautiful day with an amazing guide.
Jack 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
A memorable day in Kamakura! Highly recommended.
Great experience I had a lot of fun.
Very experience and patient tour guide . Beautiful place and lots to eat.if we have other chance we will visit there again.
Jack was a Great Tour Guide! The tour was entertaining. Jack told us many interesting details about Asakusa. Jack told us many facts and was able to answer every question.
After 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!!!!
Jack was an amazing guide, who could answer every question we had about Yokohama and Japan in general. The tour was the perfect length and we were really enjoying the stops he showed us.
The 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!
