Highly recommend the tour! Liu was our guide who spoke fluent English and Mandarin. The day was well planned and Liu prepared printed maps with recommended routes for those visiting for the first time. There was even a group chat to disseminate information such as meetup timing, car plate details and deck of slides with things to see/eat. Very helpful to refer to.
Bara-san and driver Sakamoto-san is very attentive. Pictures, location of bus etc were sent to each group via what'sapp. Thank you for a unforgettable experience. Keep it up.
The tour was well organized and fantastic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He forwarded lots of extra information through WhatsApp. Enjoyed the tour.
Very well organised tour.
Very good day tour if you have limited time in Nagoya. Bara-San from VIP tours was an excellent guide! Very professional and informative for every location and stop along the way, with clear instructions and tips. Driver was also very good.Had a wonderful day in Takayama and Shirakawago
If you only have a few days in Nagoya and want to experience the Shirakawa-go Village and Takayama, this would be a great way to do so. Although you only have 90-120 minutes per stop, its enough to see the sights and taste the food. It's not one to go shopping for hours and immerse in the culture. Our English-speaking guide, Leonardo, helped in making key suggestions on where to go, what to see, what to eat and how to get there while we were on the bus. So we easily got to identify how to maximise our time. He even had recommendations on where to go and what to eat near the Nagoya station. His thoughtfulness and initiative ensured that we made the most out of our quick trip!
I had a great experience on this day tour! Our guide, Alberto, was very accommodating and knowledgeable about both Shirakawago and Hida Takayama. He shared interesting facts and even recommended local food and things to do at each stop. Although I didn’t go with the Hida beef set option, Alberto suggested some alternative meal spots that turned out to be really good. The tour price mainly covers transportation to and from the two locations, which I found reasonable and convenient. A tip for future travelers: take some time during the bus ride to plan what you want to see and do at each location. It’ll help you make the most of the time available at each stop. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable trip!
Nice guide tour mr alberto (english speaker) and ms hely (chinese speaker) The tour itself give much time for us to explore both takayama and shirakawago Once again thanks for the bus driver, the tour guides, and also pelago for the experience
