“Fantastic day exploring Tangier”

Mohamed is a wonderful guide! He's punctual, friendly and easy to communicate with. He adjusted the tour to suit our needs on the day. We saw so much more of Tangier than we expected. His local knowledge and interesting highlights made for a fabulous day. We enjoyed every minute, including lunch and a couple of museums... and a little bit of shopping. Thank you Mohamed! I highly recommend his tour.

“A moving day in Hiroshima ”

Prior to meeting us, Naomi devised this tour to try to fit in the sort of things that we wanted to do. Naomi met us in our hotel and briefly outlined the plan for the day and whether we were still happy with this. We then walked to the Shukkeien garden. It was a lovely day and the garden was beautiful. It is full of ornate trees, including cherry blossoms. It has a small lake with koi carp and terrapins. After a leisurely walk around the garden, we took a taxi to Schome House. The house was built as part of a charitable scheme run by an American, Floyd Schome, to provide housing for some of the people made homeless by the Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion. It is now run as a museum and includes lots of information and photographs of Mr Scome and his housing scheme. We were lucky enough to meet a Hiroshima survivor who works as one of the museum attendants. For lunch, we sat around the hot plate of a nearby restaurant and watched the proprietor make us some traditional okonomiyaki (pancakes). These were delicious. We then went to the Peace Park and listened to an English presentation given by the niece of a Hiroshima survivor. This was extremely interesting and very moving. We were able to chat with her afterwards. Following the presentation, Naomi took us up to the museum. She did not accompany us on the tour around the museum as there is plenty of written information for each exhibit and visitors are discouraged from talking. Audio guides are also available. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Naomi. She was always professional but also very helpful and friendly. Her knowledge was excellent and, as well as learning about Hiroshima, we found out quite a bit about Japanese life. Naomi obviously enjoys meeting visitors and talking about Japan. If we had been staying for longer in Hiroshima, we would have loved to have visited her rice farm for the day - this is another of her tours.

“Great day in Kobe with Rika”

We spent fabulous day in Kobe with Rika. She did her best to accommodate our wishes. We had several dishes and also found out mew facts about japanese culture. Rika took us to the sake brewery and also got tockets for the sunset cruise which was incredible. We were also lucky to meet her son who is a lovely gentleman who also contributed to the amazing experience. Thanks Rika.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was my very first time hosting guests from the Czech Republic, and it became a truly unforgettable experience for us as well. I was honestly impressed by how much you already knew about Japanese culture—sometimes even more than me! And I’ll never forget your notebook full of stamps, that was amazing . I’m so happy you enjoyed the sake brewery and the sunset cruise. It was also a pleasure for my son to meet you. It’s truly wonderful how many people in Europe grow up speaking two or three languages from such a young age—I really admire that. Meeting you was also a great motivation for my son’s studies, and we truly appreciate it. Please come back to Japan again—I would love to see you both in the future! Warm regards, Rika
