Great trip and great guide. The trip was a good balance, a little walking but not too much and plenty of time to take in everything. The great Buddha and the beautiful temples are certainly worth seeing.

Lots of sites and very beautiful. This is definitely one that should not be missed. Lots of history and very informative.

There was only one thing I would say could be improved on, and that would be to include just a bit more leisure time to browse sites and shops a bit more. I felt a tiny bit rushed and wanted to go back by myself and stroll through the town and the shops. I realize time can be an issue, so it is not a problem if the time stayed the same. I would still strongly recommend this tour for others. I wanted to be sure and mention that my guide was a pure pleasure to spend the day with and she was extremely professional and informative.

Good tour...I highly recommend it. This tour was a good opportunity to see and appreciate the beauty of Japan, outside of midtown Tokyo. The sights were interesting, and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I had a great time.

We loved our tour guide. She was extremely informative and very well spoken. She could not have been nicer. She really made sure that all of our questions and needs were met.

Really great tour. I would recommend doing it on a cool day though. Not a lot of walking but was very hot on the day I went. Plenty of time to see all things listed. Great Japanese lunch. Tour guide was great. Very good English and very knowledgeable.

I had a great experience! I was traveling by myself and I really enjoyed the care that our tour guide took on making sure we were exposed to their culture and tradition!!

The walking tour was interesting, although I get the feeling I could have done it on my own. The guide provided nice insights though, and was very friendly. The absolute highlight was the rickshaw ride. The Japanese style lunch sucked! If you were expecting what they served was just the appetizer, you would be sorely disappointed, because that was it! Only three tiny saucers of filling with rice and soup. I couldn't wait for the shopping portion to buy something more to eat! And for the fortune-telling sticks, beware! Unless you get the paper with the best fortune, even the ones labelled as good fortune include a smattering of bad ones.

The tour guide spoke great English and was very energetic. The temples were beautiful and something worth seeing. This tour was a lot of walking and definitely not for the older generation.

The tour was wonderful. Japan has a rich history, and I wanted to see and feel a part of that history. The tour provided me with the opportunity to accomplish my objective. It is a tour worth your time and money.

I really enjoyed the Kamakura Walking tour. You are able to experience the the beauty of the town in Kamakura, and you also get familiar with the train systems there. I would suggest taking this tour if your planning on doing some traveling on your own throughout Japan.

This is a wonderful tour but be warned: there is a lot of walking. If possible, take the rickshaw option; I don't think the people who chose that had to walk as far as the rest of us.
