“Best Guide Ever”
Bobby is a fabulous guide. She hand crafted a tour with our specific requests in mind. She kept us on time yet allowed for distractions on the ground when we saw something we wanted to stop at. Bobby also took into acccount the tour and we stopped at an amazing coffee shop that was definitely not a tourist trap. Bobby pointed out interesting things about Hakodate that is not a in an out book, only a local would know. I wish she could have been our guide at all of our stops in Japan!

“Outstanding Private Tour Experience with Takashi in Kyoto”
We had the absolute pleasure of spending a day in Kyoto with Takashi as our guide, and we could not be more impressed with the experience he provided. From the moment we met, Takashi was professional, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and impressively organized. We had only six to seven hours to explore the city, and thanks to his planning, we were able to visit all the key sites on our list efficiently and comfortably, without ever feeling rushed. He knew exactly how to navigate the city, avoid crowds, and adjust the pace to match our group’s energy. Beyond the logistics, what truly stood out was Takashi’s passion for Kyoto’s history and culture—he shared fascinating insights at every stop, and his storytelling brought each place to life. Takashi also went out of his way to ensure everyone in our group felt welcomed and engaged—including my mother, who appreciated his thoughtfulness and care throughout the day. We’ve had many guides over the years, but Takashi’s combination of expertise, efficiency, and warm personality made this experience truly exceptional. We would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you, Takashi, for a memorable and seamless day—we will always remember it!
