Our guide Mie provided fantastic historic context that helped us to appreciate the cultural depth of Japan. The tour was leisurely yet engaging. We visited some iconic landmarks, walked through a couple of beautiful landscape gardens and learnt the rich history of the Edo period Japan. Mie is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend the northeast bound tour.

It was excellent to have a private tour guide for this tour. As foreigners were learned a great deal culturally with the one-on-one conversations. Made for fewer mistakes later. The locations were beautiful and I never would have seen them all on my own with the same amount of time nor known anything about the context.

Our guide was lovely. It was a very, very hot day, so public transit was a bit tiring. I wish there was time to do an activity on the tour, like ride a boat or train that the guide noted in the bamboo forest. With public transit, seeing 4 landmarks in 7 hours was a tight schedule!
