It was wonderful to meet our tour guide Martina, she was excellent in showing us the city Yokohama. I totally appreciated her work ethics and friendliness. Recommend her to all the tourists coming to Japan. For sure I'll look her up on my next trip to Japan hopefully next year. Sherman

Very fun and interesting! Gabriel was so kind, he will take you to an enjoyable trip around the city and will give you some hints to have some fun on your own while visiting Yokohama.

I’ve been to Yokohama many times, but this was my first guided tour. Yuko was a delightful host and it felt like exploring the city with a friend. She showed me areas I had never been to before. What a great experience.
