“Amazing Azumino with the best company!”

I was planning to visit Azumino after my hike & stay in Kamikochi / Matsumoto, and while the city is nearby, navigating the area is time-consuming just by taking public transport. So I was so glad to have met Yoshiko san, during my first time ever using Gowithguide! She was very friendly, kind, communicative, and was able to adapt to my requests and interests. For instance, when I mentioned that I loved nature and museums (Azumino has an Art Line!), she recommended the best place for viewing the Northern Alps and gave advice on planning our route better. We were blessed with the best weather, and I learned many new things thanks to this tour, including the significance of the local gods Dosojin -- very apt for a drive around the area! Apart from taking me to places where i've always wanted to go, she also took me to have soft serve at a local farm, which was the best activity to do after a hot day. Although it was a short half day trip, I felt like I made a friend in Yoshiko san and her equally kind & attentive husband who kindly drove us around on that day. As a solo female traveler, traveling with a reliable guide like Yoshiko made me feel safe and taken care of. I look forward to meeting the both of them again during my next trips to Nagano, and would happily introduce them to my friends visiting the area!

“A Day in Tokyo with Ken and Satchi”

It was a wonderful day. With Ken acting as guide and Satchi driving, the day set up perfectly. We arrived at each location easily and were picked up when we were picked up when we were ready to move on. There were no delays lookinng for parking. Ken was very informative about each location and its history. We were able customize an itinerary prior to the day. They met us at the cruise terminal with a car that easily held our luggage. After a five hour tour, they dropped us at the airport. Ken took photos along the way and emailed them to us as a momento. It was the perfect way to use the time between the ship's arrival and our evening departure for Tokyo. I highly recomend Ken and Satchi.

“Amazing experience with Akira”

We simply had an amazing day with Akira as first time visitors of Japan. We had a few locations we wanted to visit in Kyoto, like the Monkey Park, and Akira was able to take us to those places and be a tremendously fun and informative guide throughout it all. He even recommended his favorite local ramen place where we had a fantastic lunch. We will look back on our visit to Japan with great fondness and a wonderful memory in Kyoto, thanks to Akira. He will turn a good trip great, and a great trip unforgettable.
