We were looking for an experienced and knowledgeable guide for the Kamakura area of Japan. We got matched with Hiroko K. who was awesome! She gave us so much history info and explanations on culture which we loved. Highly recommend!

The one-day trip was awesome. We love to have Kenji as our tour guide. He is very kind and a good photographer. We'd like to have him for our future trip, next time.

We booked a one day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo with City Unscripted. It was fantastic, our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable and took us to several sites in Kamakura. It was very special, he helped us appreciate the historical and spiritual context of the temples and shrines we saw. We had an early start so were able to see these places before they were overcrowded. Highly recommend Gabriel, his insights were so thought provoking and we saw a side of Japan that was inspiring. Tea in the bamboo forest was a definite highlight, so peaceful and calm. We saw things that you would probably not see with another guide. I would recommend going on a weekday as the weekends can be very busy.

Gabriel was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of Kamakura and the sights we visited. He also provided the context and historical background, as well as explaining the rituals and helping us to participate in some of them. The tea in the bamboo forest was amazing, something we will not forget. Our time in Kamakura exceeded all expectations. Gabriel also took us to a great restaurant for lunch, which was excellent. All in all, a great day, probably the highlight of our trip.
