“We just finished our tour with Liv and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information without ever overwhelming us. You can tell she really knows her stuff. What we appreciated most was that she never rushed us. We had time to properly take everything in, ask questions, and enjoy each stop. She also took us to some really great spots we probably wouldn’t have found on our ow”
“Traveling solo has been a whirlwind of tourist choices! This package was a lifesaver because it covered a few spots I wanted to see in just three hours. The guides, Thunder and Pedro, were incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. The atmosphere was super relaxed! To avoid the crowds, I suggest booking the earliest tour you can. I went with the 8:30 time slot, and it was still much less crowded than when we finished.”
“It was a wonderful tour! Special thanks to Liz and Mariz for such a great experience. We were lucky to go early in the morning when it wasn’t crowded, which made it even more special. We could enjoy the beautiful scenery and hear the wind gently rustling through the bamboo leaves. Highly recommended!”

The tour was excellent. The guide, Tim was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. Be prepared to walk. Also, there is quite the hike to the monkey sanctuary but it is worth it once you get up there!

Through some sort of mixup, our wires got crossed at the Arashima station. We decided to do the tour on our own and had a great time doing so. Unfortunately, we did not get to try any Matcha.
Nous avons eu Niko et Pedro comme guide très sympa avec un très bon anglais et de bonne explication durant l’excursion. +Activité recommandée !
מדריכה מקסימה. מסבירה באופן מעניין. קשובה ומצחיקה. היתה ממש מעניינת. ממליצה בחום.
J'ai adoré cette visite! Thunder et Pedro ont été vraiment adorables et nous ont très bien expliqué l'histoire des différents sites visités ! Tout cela agrémenté de dégustations vraiment délicieuses! Merci à eux!
Thunder and Pedro were amazing tour guides! So knowledgeable and interesting. Best parts of the tour were trying the spices, getting the matcha, and seeing the monkeys. Highly recommend this tour! PS- good luck to both Thunder and Pedro on their studies!
