“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

“Fantastic Family tour with terrific guide”

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Richard in Kanawaza. For our family of five, travelling around in taxis or PT is difficult. Richard picked us up literally metres from our cruise ship and travelling around with him was a breeze. We saw considerably more with Richard and his van than would have been possible on our own. Richard entertained us with interesting info about Japan, Kanawaza and life in Japan as a Westerner. It was great having him to take family photos and point out the best places to see, short cuts to make our day efficient and tips on what and where to eat. Should we ever visit Kanawaza again, Richard would be the first person we would call. 100% recommend.

Hi Penny, Thank you so much for your kind words and review. I had a great time with you and your family. You were all a delight to spend time with, get to know, and have a laugh with. It felt like I was showing friends around Kanazawa. Thank you to you and your family for being such a pleasure to be around. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, manage to find some Pokémon cards, and enjoy the sake! Warm regards, Richard
