Kamakura Full day Private Tour

Excellent tour. Well organized, informative and highly enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

4 of us recently spent 2 days with Yoko (Tokyo &Kamakura) prior to a Japan cruise. I had booked many months in advance and am so glad I did! She's busy for a reason! Yoko was prompt in replying and we worked out tours just right for us. She arranged a delicious lunch in a beautiful restaurant with a great view of the city. It was Spring Break and Cherry Blossom season so Yoko forewarned us of the crowds. Her friendly manner and perfect English were just the right combo. Her knowledge of the sites and the history of Japan were so interesting and she knew just where to shop! We have used Tours By Local in many countries over the years and their guides never disappoint. I would rank Yoko among the best we've ever had and highly recommend her. Thank you Yoko for starting our trip off perfectly! After two days, we felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend.

Great tour! Yoko met us at our ship and we headed off using public transit to Kamakura,- which was so fun and interesting. Saw so many sights, had a great meal at a truly local restaurant and she got back to the ship on time. Fabulous day!

Yoko was a fantastic tour guide. We booked her for 2 days. She provided great communications, answering questions and providing input to develop a custom tour. She did all of this many weeks before we arrived in Tokyo. Her attention to detail and knowledge of sights were first rate. Her innate ability to find out what we needed during the tour help us a great deal. Her suggestion on restaurants was fantastic. Her organization of train tickets, the layout of activities and timing of those activities was 1st rate . Yoko is a fantastic tour guide and would use her again when returning to Tokyo .

This was just a wonderful day in Kamakura, a lovely city about 40 minutes outside of Tokyo, but what a treat. We visited several Buddhist temples and a Shinto shrine., had a delicious lunch too. She had asked prior to us coming if we had an allergies to food, which was great, and planned accordingly if there was. Yoko was a wonderful guide, always making sure things were okay, especially because it was very hot when we went. This was actually a good time, as there were less crowds than the popular times, although cherry blossom time is supposed to be exceptional. Any questions we asked, she would answer for us and she would find out if she didn’t know. It was also a great way to experience some of the rituals involved with these places. Definitely a great guide and wonderful person to spend a day with.

Amazing guide - she was so flexible, and wonderful with our kids -- even in the incredibly strong heat -- we had a blast. She was wonderful!!!
