I did my tour with Serina and she is an absolutely lovely person that gives it at least 110% effort in order to make the journey as pleasant and as smooth as possible for everyone. I usually dislike tours like this to be honest, as the itinerary is either bad or tour guide not managing the group well enough in order for everyone being on time. Serina managed all of that excellently though and I would choose to travel with her again for sure. Had a great day, thank you Serina!

This was my first time joining a one-day tour, and I was very nervous before we left, worried about getting a difficult guide. The day before departure, Klook provided us with the guide's information and contact details, and the guide answered all our questions, which put my mind at ease. Since there weren't many participants, our group was a combined Chinese and Korean tour. Our guide was amazing, speaking Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fluently! During introductions and explanations, sometimes he'd speak Korean first, sometimes Chinese first, showing no favoritism, which was fantastic! Besides doing an excellent job with his guiding duties, he also gave us little tips for traveling in Japan, like where to eat, the best places to shop, and must-buy items. He was truly a five-star guide! This wonderful guide was Kim Myung-cheol, and I highly recommend him!

It was my first time seeing fireworks from the sea, and it was truly spectacular; the fireworks were beautiful. I'm so glad we chose the boat tour to watch them. We were the fourth group to board, and we easily found an excellent viewing spot. The weather was clear, and we could see very bright stars from the sea without any light pollution. Another highlight of this trip was seeing bioluminescent plankton (blue tears) in the ocean – I was so happy! The weather was cool and comfortable during our visit. Mr. Sakuragi's commentary and explanations of the attractions along the way were very detailed, and he helped us complete a wonderful journey. Thank you.

Omgosh! This was a long drive, but Mr. Jhon was amazing. We had a random stop for Potty Break and found some unique snacks. Hakone is so beautiful and green in June. The weather was perfect and we saw Mt. Fuji so many times.

During the whole tour, our guide, Kento-san, was very and I mean VERY energetic and helpful. I don’t know how he got so much energy but it was really nice having him as our tour guide cause he always kept us entertained without being overbearing. Kamakura was a bit crowded but so beautiful as you can tell by the pictures. I think it’s so worth it - especially going on sunny days to really get those beautiful pictures ! Though I recommend bringing water with you and UV protection unbrella as it got really hot and only that could lessen the heat. The island itself was PACKED with tourists- really hard to get around. I liked the food but the rice crackers were not it for me- I really didn’t like it, it tasted too much like octopus to me but if you like fresh octopus you will probably like it. I loved how we were able to roam around - we got food spots and recommendations but in the end we were left to choose where we wanted to go. Defintely go with GoGoDay - they’re organised and amazing.

Every time I travel solo with friends, I always book through Klook because it's more practical. This time, I give a big thumbs up to our guide, WIN, who was super friendly and very detailed. Thank you, Klook!

Had the most amazing day ever! Special thanks to Juna (our tour guide) 🫶🏼I loved having the freedom to roam around. Everything was planned to perfection: itinerary, food recommendations, transport, communication. 10/10 recommend ⭐️ PS: don’t forget your sunscreen in summer time (you will get sunburnt!!).

This tour was extremely good value - the pick up was late, however the tour more than made up for it - the whole day was amazing & took you to places you would not be able to see on public transport & certainly not in just one day. I liked that it was small group - we had 15 people, which was the full small bus. Plus our guide and driver. I loved that our guide told us about each place we were going to next and then let us explore on our own - no rushing around following a flag all day !!! My favourite part was Enoshima. I walked a long way back to the mainland from the island, to get the photo I wanted - Mt Fuji over the beach & water !! Just beautiful I then caught a local bus to the famous crossing of the Kamarura / Enoshima electric rail - famous for the scene in the Anime - Slam Dunk. Left at 0745 returned to Shinjuku at 6.45pm Highly recommended
