Lana did a wonderful job guiding us through Yokohama. She met us at our hotel and we started off in Yamashita Park the walked to the side of the city where foreigners originally lived under British rule. Lovely English gardens and western style homes and Foreign General Cemetery. Then to Chinatown for shopping and a great lunch. Visited the Guan Di Miao temple then onto the Red Brick District. Rode the Yokohama Air Cabin to finish the tour. I am sure I left things off the list since there was so much to see. Lana provided lots of info on Yokohama history and gave of lots of info on places and things to do on our two remaining days in Yokohama. We highly recommend Lana and Jewel Tours Japan!

This was a perfect activity for our first day in Japan. Claudia was great. We really enjoyed Chinatown and the waterfront area

Excellent introduction to Yokohama visiting some key sights and getting the lay of the land to be able to come back to later in more depth. Chris and Freebird were professional, personable, and accommodating. Very glad we did it!

A great tour with Abir. She was very friendly and happy to chat with us about life in Yokohama. We particularly enjoyed visiting ChinaTown and the gardens. We would highly recommend a tour with Abir.

Brian was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable and shared many anecdotes and facts about the area. He has a very personal demeanor and truly provided a comfortable experience. 5 ⭐ guide.

Our guise Masa was great. It was like having a friend show you around town. The walk was customized as we went making it comfortable and interesting.

Yokohama is a lovely city. A great alternative to bustling Tokyo. Less crowded and a beautiful waterfront park and wonderful China town. We look forward to going to the Sankeien Gardens today. Our guide did not offer to go there on our tour. He felt that it was too far away.
Our guide was very friendly and gave us a good tour but the Sankeien Gardens was my top pick of places to see so, I was disappointed we didn't go there but we will take taxi today and have more time to enjoy it.

Aya did a nice job showing us a few highlights and gardens in Yokohama. What a nice afternoon. Thank you !
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Wonderful walk around the port area. Saw many lovely sights. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept a very nice pace for older folks. Really had a nice time!

We had an excellent tour guide, name Lana. She spoke English very well and knew her history. Lana was friendly and took us to many spots to see.

The tour guide did not show up for our Saturday tour and did not communicate with us in any way. Probably did not tell the owner of the tour company in Yokohama. Had we taken the tour on Friday as originally scheduled we had been in communication with Irene and the day would have been a good one. For the Saturday guide (not Irene) cannot say much except did not show up.
We did a self walking tour rom our Yokohama Hilton Hotel along the Bay Walk as suggested by hotel concierge. Was a good 2 hours and saved us $150+. Worked out ok.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much.... Not only did you receive a completely full, 100% refund, but you then took the effort out of your own busy schedule to leave a one-star review anyway.
Is there anything else we can possibly do for you?
A bottle of champagne, perhaps?

We were able to experience the wonderful sights of Yokohama with our experienced guide we thoroughly recommend this walking tour.

Amazing guides Ella and Andy, showed us all the major sites of Yokohama in 4 hours. They were, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and just fun to spend time with. Thank you both for a wonderful day in Yokohama.
Janet_C, Mar 2026
We enjoyed a 4 hour walking tour around the sites of Yokohama. We enjoyed seeing Yamasita park and Sankeien Gardens. Had the opportunity to ride the local bus and see the sites around the port. Our guide Yana was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Diana_S, Feb 2026
We covered a lot in the 4 hours allotted for this tour. Abir was great. She really knew her Japanese history/culture and we learned a lot! It was nice having someone lead us, especially navigating the train system (which is great btw). Chinatown was fun and we got to taste some of their delicious foods.

While almost every personal tour we have ever booked with Viator was outstanding this, unfortunately, was not. The guide failed to identify that three of the principal sites was closed the day of our tour. Had we known this we surely would have cancelled. We assume any local expert knows the workings of their area and would preadvise of any closures. When we asked for a fee adjustment it was denied by the subcontractor.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
I am so sorry you are not familiar with the days of the week - they can be tricky I know.
You booked the time and day of your tour, and complained that not everywhere was open.
For future reference - here are the days of the week - in chronlogical order:
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday /Thursday /Friday / Saturday / Sunday.
We hope this helps you in your future travel booking!!

After a bit of confusion on the cruise pier we had a great time & covered over 12km in our 4 or so hours.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you SO much -
We loved showing you where we love to live!!

We thought this would be a multi-person walking tour with a planned itinerary, but it ended up being a private one. We knew entry fees were not included, but didn't expect to pay train tickets and the fees for tour guide as well. Tour guide very friendly but we did not get as much history and information as we would have liked.
Ricardo_S, Oct 2025
Lana was our guide and she is very nice and polite. She took us to all the locations as stated. We are very happy with her service. If we can and visit Yokohama again we will definitely ask for her.

Brian was an excellent tour guide who made sure we got around the city without getting scorched by the hot sunny day. He knew all the cool shortcuts and I got to see everything I wanted to see!

Please take a half day walking tour with Viator and Jack. Jack really helped us experience Yokohama. My husband and I did not know how fantastic Yokohama was. Jack also went above and beyond to help us figure out where to store our luggage after our cruise. Jack pointed out landmarks such as rhe Landmark building, which we opted to visit, told us about Yokohama’s history and growth and gave us info about the Cosmo World, historic ship, took us to China Town and was an absolute guide with knowledge and kindness. Thank you Jack and Viator Jewel Tours. Les & Mary from San Diego, CA

Be prepared for a lot of walking and a lot of learning and a lot of seeing beautiful and interesting things in Yokohama.

It was an excellent experience. The guide was personable and knowledgeable about the area. He answered any historical questions we had.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you SO much for choosing JewelTours Japan - we loved having you here. Do please come and see Japan again!!
Safe travels!!

The host Vanessa was friendly and well spoken. She is an ideal tour guide and I enjoyed her company. The tour company however is grossly overcharging customers ($120) for this walk. Check out airbnb experiences for significantly better deals or just walk the city yourself.
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi - Thank you so much for your feedback, Unfortunately most if the tours you mention are unlicensed and unregulated. We pay all our local and national taxes / memberships and licenses to be fully compliant. The government is cracking down on these illegal operations so they usually stop, change name and start again!!!

We had a great time with Raffa! We came off our cruise very late due to a 3 hour customs wait. He came early and waited for us. Raffa’s English is excellent and easy to understand.He showed us the highlights of Yokohama and brought us to the most delicious Ramen restaurant. His enthusiasm and knowledge was superb. We caught a cab back to the cruise port and he stayed with us the whole time. Thank you, Raffa for your kindness and excellent tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
