“Highly recommended!”
Our guide, Tomoko, was hands down the best guide we’ve ever had. She is knowledgeable, flexible, warm annd fun. Tomoko worked with me well in advance to plan the tour and we ended our time together as friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
“The highlight was Lionel our driver!!”
Lionel was just amazing. He was so professional from start to finish. The people carrier was very clean and very comfortable. His driving was very good and safe. I am a v good driver myself and not always a good passenger. The drive up to Sintra & Pena Palace would certainly test the best of them. I had booked the 14.30 slot at the palace when should have booked the 15.00. Lionel warned us and was very concerned that we would not be allowed in. As luck would have it we got in with 2 seconds to spare!! The palace itself was very interesting and the views were great. We then stopped in Sintra village on the way and did some relaxed shopping. Lionel was again very helpful answering our questions and making recommendations on the way back. It was great fun all round. Our party varied in age from 14 to 69 and everybody enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely 5 STARS. Anne (Hennessy)
“Matsumoto Castle & Town Tour”
We were very fortunate to have Emi as our guide. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We wanted to spend a day in Matsumoto with a focus on Matsumoto Castle. She prepared a itinerary for the day that was gave us plenty of time at the castle and Matsumoto town. Emi was extremely knowledgeable and shared information that only a local would know. She help translate information that was only in Japanese as well as help read inscriptions that were on many actual items. We never felt rushed during the time we spent with her. She was very helpful in communicating with shopkeepers which gave us more insight as to the background of their crafts or foods. One of the highlights was taking us up to the observation deck in the City Hall so we could view the castle grounds from above (we would have never done that on our own). The day we spend with Emi was one of the best days we had during our trip. Even before the tour day, Emi communicated with us giving us updates and answering our questions so we were prepared for our trip to the Nagano area. We highly recommend Emi and would definitely hire her again when we return to the Nagano area.
