“Highlights in Shimizu mit Take”
Wir waren nur einen Tag in Shimizu. Dieser Tag wurde durch unseren Reiseleiter Take zu einem besonders schönen Erlebnis. Er ging immer auf unsere Wünsche ein und gab uns einen Einblick in das japanische Leben. Take ist ein guter Erzähler und erklärte uns sehr viel. Ich kann eine Tour mit Take sehr empfehlen.

Take K.
Thank you so much for your review! I had such a great time exploring Shimizu with all of you. Most importantly, I truly enjoyed meeting your wonderful family—Ruth, Manfred, Peter, and Patrizia. I fondly remember how excited everyone was to visit each spot. In particular, Peter was so touched to see the ocean, which is a rare sight for him, and Manfred seemed so relaxed, enjoying the tour at his own pace. I hope your stay here in Shimizu become a great memory through your cruise travel. Thank you again for such a lovely time!

“Richard goes the extra mile -- as a driving guide and as a person! ”
We had 2 tour days with Richard, and both were car tours. (He's a very safe and conscientious driver.) One to the Heritage villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama and the other day to Natadera Temple. Richard was very flexible and adapted our days to fit our schedule and interests. He offers options and expanded on our initial plans in a way that enhanced our vacation. Richard helped us understand some of the history of these places as well as their cultural significance. He has an engaging and low key British sense of humor. We enjoyed our time with Richard!

Hi Amy, Thank you for your review and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to be a guide for both of you during the time we spent together. I hope your time in Japan has given you many happy memories. I wish you both all the best for the future. Warm regards, Richard
