A very complete, very intense, and interesting sightseeing tour. The visit is beautiful and complete, and our tour guide Yehor treated us like family. An attentive, friendly and very caring young man who gave us a lot of information and made the sightseeing tour super enjoyable. An unforgettable experience.

It's worth it. Everything can be done on your own. In fact, it doesn't include the subway, the ferry or the admission ticket to the temple, but CVA's explanations were worth it.

Martin was a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable with Japan’s history and shared some great facts on the island. He was pretty flexible with our tour since it was only 2 off us and was able to take us to a pagoda we wanted to see. Overall, great tour and good value!
