A great trip and we really enjoyed getting out of the city for the day. Our guide - Kento - was brilliant and as well as being a great guide he also gave us a great insight into Japanese life. There is loads to see in Kamakura and easy to see why they call it the Kyoto of the east. We were able to get around the city quickly and efficiently on e-bikes which we hired next to the rail station.

We were a party of four, and wanted an in-depth immersion into the history of Kamakura. We were so lucky to have Martin as our guide! Martin is extremely knowledgeable and easily answered all of our questions. He is a real professional! He promptly met us at our hotel at the prearranged hour. Took us to Kamakura by Metro and JR trains, explaining both mass-transit systems to us along the way. Martin had already planned out an exciting and informative itinerary, tailored to our interests. We covered every one of the major sites, with Martin providing all the background info. He is humorous, has a great personality, and is a real "people person," You would be very lucky to have Martin as your tour guide!
