Traveler reviews
Immersive tour of the Shuri castle encompassing history, art and culture
Sara is incredibly knowlegeable of the Shuri castle and the tour with her was a full immersion in Okinawa history, culture and art. It went much beyond a classic guided tour. It was an immersive experience.
Fantastic experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this private tour of Shuri Castle. From the moment we met our guide Sara, it felt less like a guided tour and more like spending the day with a knowledgeable friend. Her English is excellent, making communication effortless, and her deep knowledge of Shuri Castle as well as the history of Okinawa , and the area in general made the tour so much more interesting. Not only did we get to learn more about the history and culture surrounding Shuri Castle, Sara was also able to give us recommendations, including restaurants, shopping, and other interesting places to visit. We highly recommend this tour, and specifically our guide Sara!

amazing
Very friendly guide. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about Okinawa culture. The lunch was amazing as well, we wouldn't have found this restaurant without her. 10/10 would recommend!
Great tour
This was an excellent tour with personalized stops depending on condition and what you‘re interested in. Ended up being just me and the tour guide so it was really nice! Food was also great :)
