Disappointing

abecker, Oct 2023

The guide was helpful but his English was incomprehensible. In fact, I will be claiming a refund from Viator for failure to deliver what I was promised - an English speaking guide. Viator initially stated that this guide received many positive reviews for his English, but I don't believe that response. Neither my wife nor me understood 10% of what he said.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hello Again! We are waiting for your reply for the other tours that you have booked and if you would like to continue with them. Please contact us so we can also work out the refund you requested as we have messaged you about this as well. We understand if you do not believe our reply and you are welcome to dispute it with Viator. We will need to send proof as well that the reviews we mentioned are true so we hope that will solve the matter. JGA Customer Support

Kamakura Imperdible

Ivonne_J, Jul 2023

Fue un día muy completo, nuestro guía Yoshi nos hizo una agenda con lo más representativo de Kamakura, visitando un hermoso jardín, un par de templos, un mirador y la calle de tiendas, comimos un sushi espectacular en un restaurante típico japonés, el transporte siempre a tiempo para pasar en los puntos de encuentro y el guía nos infirmo de la historia y datos importantes de los lugares que visitamos. Kamakura quedo como uno de nuestros lugares favoritos en Japón

Response from Host, Jul 2023

I am very happy to hear that you were able to fully enjoy Kamakura, exceeding your expectations. It is a great pleasure for me that you were able to discover and be inspired by deeply exploring the charm of the ancient city of Kamakura, which is characterized by its heart of samurai, and by its heart of wabi-sabi culture. We have become friends and I look forward to welcoming you again in another season to Japan, a country full of charm, rich history and culture, beautiful landscapes and delicious cuisine. Always with your heart! Yoshi
