A family from America, who just arrived from the States and wanted to go on a cruise tour around japan booked me, for few hours walking around Yokohama. The family enjoyed Yokohama very well. From China Town, Motomachi Shopping Street, Minatono oka mieru kouen, Yamashita Park to Akarenga we walked. I wish for the family a nice trip in Japan!
Excellent introduction to Yokohama visiting some key sights and getting the lay of the land to be able to come back to later in more depth. Chris and Freebird were professional, personable, and accommodating. Very glad we did it!

Yokohama is a lovely city. A great alternative to bustling Tokyo. Less crowded and a beautiful waterfront park and wonderful China town. We look forward to going to the Sankeien Gardens today. Our guide did not offer to go there on our tour. He felt that it was too far away. Our guide was very friendly and gave us a good tour but the Sankeien Gardens was my top pick of places to see so, I was disappointed we didn't go there but we will take taxi today and have more time to enjoy it.
