Reviews
Our guide Siam was a driver only. He asked to pick up our family an hour early to avoid traffic. We asked for a quick stop for breakfast, he made many stops both directions so he could smoke. At the Monkey Park, he dropped us at the lowest level, for tour busses. We had to walk quite a bit up icy roads, past many car parks. The Monkey Park was awesome. Upon leaving, he said to make the Temple and Onsen visits would add 2+ hours of driving, so we agreed to head back to hotel. He drove very fast, 120 - 140 kph, maybe to makeup for his cigarette stops? Before we even left, he pressured us to write a Review. He sent 2 Links and said he needed these done before we returned. Both were Links to Trip Advisor, one for a Sake Tasting? No idea who took these tours. Lastly, Siam took us to the wrong hotel, 20 minutes away from ours. Not Recommended.
