The only disappointment was all the lunches, they are way too small portions. The only good one was the Japanese barbecue.

A great day with an excellent guide. We enjoyed the rickshaw trip which took us to backwaters in Kamakura and is an option we would recommend.

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.

Our guide was pleasant, very informative, and spoke excellent English. Kamakura is well worth seeing, and the Hase temple was one of the prettiest and most photogenic sites I had visited in Japan. The Great Buddha was awesome, and the Kotokuin Temple was also very impressive. The included meal, while not memorable, was quite satisfactory, and altogether it was a day well spent.

It was pouring with rain the day we did this tour, but it was still great. The guide we had was very informative.

Trip was well-organized. Was nice to be able to be picked up at my hotel. When I later found out that the train ride home would stop at the train station very near to my hotel, it was also nice to be able to end the trip there and not have to double back. Lunch was nice. Good tour guide - excellent English handled group introductions well. Good allocation of time for the various activities. Didn't feel rushed. Good value for the money.
