Great tour of the Snow Wall & Alps
Mike was a great guide who was very fun and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour! From being on time, clear directions and fun stories about Japanese history, temples, religion and of course many interesting details about the Snow Wall! You also get a lot of time to explore by yourself! We were a small group so it felt very personal especially because of Mike! Very fun and cool guide, definitely recommended. Our driver was also very professional.
