Reviews
my husband and I had a fablous time on this tour. our guide Masa was awsome, he took time in explaining everything to our group. very informative and educational. his English was excellent! we met a really kind family on this tour. I would recommend this tour. We enjoyed the tea cermony!!
The tour and tour guide were lovely! I only wish we could have stayed at the museum longer.
excellent,Knowledgeable & friendly guide
The guide was very good and efficient at handling the logistics of the group visit, including the train rides. She was very friendly and her English was quite good. She did not tell us anything about background of significance of the place, though. She said this is due to not being allowed to talk loudly inside the place, but she could easily have talked to us outside.
