Latest reviews from our guests

Excellent day! Yuka is one of the best tour guides that we have ever had- and we travel a fair amount! She was organized, prompt, and thoughtful, going above and beyond to find a shop that served a tea that I was interested in. The tour itself was well paced, covering the shrine, shopping Street, and of course, mt misen. Although it was a cloudy day, it was well worth the effort to see the majestic view. We highly recommend this tour!

Our Driver was great to work with. There were a couple of places that we did not want to go so our driver quickly adapted and moved on to the next location.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ken. Ken knew all the right sports and viewpoints. Despite the rain and clouds blocking the views Ken made the cable car ride up Mount Misen a memorable experience. He was a terrific guide and explained everything making the visit enjoyable and memorable.
