The tour guide is friendly and informative. She time keep the tour very well and we manage to eat the best raman at takayama and the best ice cream and pudding at Shiragawa village. She explains to us the history of these two places and recommends what are the things to look out for during our free and easy sessions. The bus ride is smooth and timely. We have a professional bus captain.

Tour guide was helpful and gave very clear instructions and tips. However, the time spent at Takayama was a bit short, after having to factor in time for lunch. Probably have to do another visit on own to see the place properly
