“Great tour days! ”
Leandra was super helpful before our tour and very easy to work with - and she was open to helping us arrange other things even (outside of our tour times). She was patient with our group of 11 and flexible when we changed plans and adjusted for the heat and varying needs during the day... she also found great things for our kids that we all really enjoyed.

“A Good Day In Tokyo ”
Shunta and his colleague took us on a fun adventurous day through Tokyo. This was our second trip to Tokyo so we asked to see some of the less visited areas. Shunta suggested we move from a walking tour to a car tour to address the hot Tokyo summer days. This was an excellent suggestion which made it much easier for us to move about the city. We love Tokyo. Shunta and his colleague only enhanced our love to this truly great city.

Stephen, thank you! I had such a great time with you as well. Our chats in the car and during lunch were really fun. I’m so happy to hear you love Japan, and I’ll keep doing my best to share even more of what makes it special. Hope we can meet again someday!

“Great first day in Tokyo”
Ken picked us up at our hotel right on time and took us around to the main sites keeping in mind the heat and crowds. He had a lot of knowledge of Japan's history and we felt like we learned quite a bit.

It was my great pleasure to guide you and your family around the city. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan will be just as enjoyable and memorable! Warm regards, Ken
