Our tour guides were absolutely amazing! So full of knowledge and insight into the rich cultural heritage of Japan. They also kept the trip engaging and fun! Loved every minute with the David’s!
I think this was the best tour that I chose thankfully, I had some help from my mom in order to choose which one so for whoever is trying to decide which one to do this one’s perfect you get to do multiple things visit multiple sites and also have 3 to 4 hours free time which works if you wanna go visit other places or shopping to just keep in mind that when you choose you can to do other things after you visit the sites with the tour guide and the group
