When I tell you this tour exceeded my expectations, that is an understatement. I have traveled the world and been to over 40 countries, and this is one of my favorite tours that I have done. Rob was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, he made sure that everyone felt included at all times, as a solo traveler I really appreciated that. He had the answers to any questions I had and always gave a thorough answer that was interesting without being long-winded.
The tour itself was really great and it was cool seeing the famous places, but I especially loved the hidden gems and really wish we could have spent more time there. The hidden places that Rob showed us really felt like what I see Japan as, peaceful yet magnificent with the shrines and structures. I trust Rob‘s judgment with his selections of where to go where I would absolutely go on a tour of only hidden gems if it was led by him! Forget the famous places, I want to see all of these hidden spots.
One thing to note, I am very glad I rented an E bike! We clocked in almost 30 miles on the bicycle, and some of the stretches would have been hard for me as I am not a cyclist, but I am in good shape. Regardless, this to tour was incredibly memorable and a big highlight for my trip to Japan!!
