Great local tour in a short time.
Truly great experience with our guide May. Easy to understand, very well informed, caring and helpful. Saw a great deal in a short time. Got good food tips and learnt how to use the subway. Got lots of good photos. Very very good tour
via Tripadvisor
Great trip. Excellent value
May was a truly excellent and knowledgeable guide. We learnt a lot about Yokohama port area and China town. Enjoyed delicious snacks then went to the red brick warehouses which have lovely cafes and restaurants, souvenirs and local crafts. May’s English is very good and easy to understand. The walking was nit too strenuous and we even got to use the Metro (we needed to know how to).

Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.
How much does Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.
Is Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yokohama?
+
On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yokohama?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yokohama?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide?
+
Included: Support while in Japan (before and after your tour!). Not included: Food & Drink; Private transportation; and Entry fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1191 listed pickup locations in and around Yokohama. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Yokohama Half Day Walking Tour with an Expert Local Guide?
+
