Reviews
Tour guide Mina is very professional! She provided very detailed introductions to all the attractions! A tour bus was waiting as soon as we got off the boat, making the most of all the sightseeing time, and she got the guests back to the pier on time! Five-star recommendation!
This trip included both Kumamoto and Kagoshima, and I'm so glad that Mina was our leader for both days. She was very kind and attentive, made excellent arrangements, and constantly shared information about local Japanese culture and features along the way. This made all of us feel safe and happy, and it was definitely worth participating in.
Just finished today's tour. Thank you to our guide, Mina! She was great 👍🏻. Punctual and responsible, she actively helped our family of four take photos, and even recommended the best shooting locations and angles. During the trip, she patiently explained the local features, and her optimistic and positive attitude made this trip full of life! She also took the initiative to recommend restaurants in the group chat, clearly communicated the meeting location and time, and all the arrangements were also very appropriate. I must highly recommend Mina's tour group and give her a good review 🤗
nice itinerary, juri is very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip
One of the best tour guides I've encountered so far. 🫶
The tour guide from Taiwan provided very detailed explanations. I enjoyed the entire trip. Both the tour guide and driver were very friendly. Since the cruise ship docking location was quite a distance from the city center, this tour was very helpful.
Your vehicle was too comfortable. My daughter and my daddy fell asleep in 39 seconds. We were at the very back of the bus. The volume of the speaker was not good, we had hard time to hear what the guide said.
Kagoshima is a wonderful and comfortable place. Our tour guide, the amiable Ms. Mina, provided detailed explanations throughout the entire trip and was truly dedicated. Highly recommended.
Tour guide Ms. Wang is meticulous, explains things clearly, and is beautiful 😁😁
The tour leader was excellent, attentive, and enthusiastic.
Good to know
• The itinerary is strictly adapted to the cruise ship's docking time. Please be sure to assemble at the designated location in the port on time, follow the guide's instructions to take the bus, and avoid delays in the return trip.
• Sakurajima is an active volcano, and volcanic ash may fall. It is recommended to bring masks and hats and wear non-slip shoes; observe scenic spot safety signs, and do not enter closed areas without authorization.
• For the planetarium general meal, it is recommended to choose a store in advance (popular restaurants may have queues). You can exchange a small amount of Japanese yen in cash, and some shops support credit cards or mobile payment.
• Sengan-en Garden has many stone slab roads, wear comfortable walking shoes; when taking pictures at the Cat Cat Shrine, please do not touch the stone statues, and respect local sacrificial customs.
• Bring your cruise ship room card and passport copy (it is recommended to keep the original on the ship), prepare simple and commonly used medicines, and pay attention to sun protection and hydration.
