“Kyoto mit einem sympathischen Yuta erleben”
Es war fantastisch mit Yuta in deutscher Sprache Kyoto zu erkunden. Eine interessante Mischung aus Kultur und Geschichte, die uns äußerst kompetent und spannend durch Yuta präsentiert wurde. Es war uns eine Freude Yuta kennen gelernt zu haben und wir möchten nochmal ganz herzlichen Danke sagen, auch für deine tollen Fotos. Viele liebe Grüße von Thomas & Sigrid

“Eine interessante Tour mit Yuki”
Es war fantastisch mit der äußerst sympathischen Yuki, in deutscher Sprache Tokyo zu erkunden. Viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten hat Sie uns sehr interessant vermittelt. Wir hatten ein kleines Problem mit einer Fahrkarte und dabei hat sie uns ganz spontan und flexibel in japanisch am Ticketschalter unterstützt. Vielen lieben Dank nochmal dafür liebe Yuki. Es war uns eine Freude dich kennen gelernt zu haben. Viele liebe Grüße von Thomas und Sigrid

“Great Tokyo tour by bus ”
I worked with Takako on a Tokyo tour with the Jamaican athletic team. Takako did an excellent job. She is well-versed in Japan's history and culture. I recommend her to anyone seeking a tour guide. I will ask her to handle all my future tours at dreams-escape.com. Thanks, Takako. I was very impressed.
