James "I had an amazing time! The tour guide (Kaori Kawayoko) was very friendly and helpful.

MarleneWritten on April 15, 20184.0 - GoodReally enjoyed the fact that this was a very 'authentic' tour with traditional Ryokans and using the public transport used by the locals. Also loved that there was so much flexibility and I could opt to join the group or go off on my own. Really enjoyed it.Show detailed ratingsIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Marlene, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.

- JenniferWritten on April 12, 20164.0 - GoodI expected the tour to be pretty basic and flexible given the price that I paid and tour description. This suited me as I mainly did the tour to meet people so I could have the option and the tour guide there is I needed to ask questions. Kenji our tour guide gave us guided tours everyday pretty much which was amazing as you could decide whether to do your own thing and meet up later or go with the group.Show detailed ratings
