Disappointing - When we booked this trip, we specifically asked for a driver who was also a guide and knew something about Kamakura. We were assured that would be the case. Our guide, Ali, was a fine driver but he has only lived in Japan for a few years, coming from Pakistan. He knew almost nothing about the places we went or the history of Japan. We might as well have just hired an Uber driver and saved some money.

Do not take this tour - While the temples we saw were amazing, the following happened. The driver did not know the difference between Yokohama and Kamakura. The 1st temple we stopped at he said was in Yokohama, so we did not pay to go in. Later found out it was one of the temples we wanted to see in Kamakura. He used his GPS to try and find the temples which I had to push him to drive to. A lot of time was wasted finding locations, thus we saw Yokohama only very briefly. He did say we could stay later, but due to wasted time, it was too late. As far as a "guide", he was only a driver and did not tell us any history about anything. Expensive wasted money for a driver and guide which guiding was non existent and driver did not know how to find anything. It was his first time attempting to take tourists to this area.
