We had a wonderful day with Yaron in Kagoshima. We were a family group with granparents and children. He was very flexible to adapt to our needs during the day and able to organize a tour suitable and customized for our group. He was able to organize for us not only the guided tour but also he booked for our group a van. He was both very friendly and professional. We enjoyed a lot the day and we were able to discover very nice spots of Kagoshima, especially in the area of Sakurajima.
Dear Elena, thank you very much for taking the tour in KAGOSHIMA. I enjoyed very much with your warm family and your sweet kids. so happy we could make it regarding the traffic congestions of the Golden week. Hope you visiting Kagoshima again :-) All the best
We had an excellent tour with Yaron who was very flexible, knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to get as much into the day with our reduced time due to having to rejoin our ship. We would highly recommend Yaron. 5 stars.
Dear Diane Thank you very much for your warm words. Kagoshima has so many views to see and a unique culture, I hope you'll come to visit us again.
Yaron is an outstanding guide. He showed me places that most tourists don't get to see, and he was extremely helpful and informative. Top notch!
Thank you very much for traveling with me today and for your warm words! I'm very happy that you could enjoy the culture and rhythm of south Kagoshima. Actually thanks to the soft rain we got even better views and colors of a beautiful mystic nature. Have a pleasant trip ! Best regards Yaron
Booked with Yaron for a tour of Chiran out of the port of Kagoshima. He was waiting for us with the taxi driver (who had a speaker and microphone that made it easy to hear his commentary) in a timely manner and we headed to our first stop which was the Samurai gardens. He had the itinerary well prepared and we had ample time for all the stops planned. On the visit to the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots he accompanied us and provided great explanations. Lunch was at a really fun restaurant which culminated our visit to Chiran. I highly recommend Yaron for your next visit to the Kagoshima area.
Thank you very much ️! We had great day regardless the rain forecast. I was exited by your group enthusiasm to know the culture and history of Japan and I'm happy I could revealed some of it from my point of view. Kagoshima have so many lovely places. Please come again :-)
