“Exploring Tokyo”
Takato is a lovely lady. We enjoyed exploring Tokyo’s cultural and historic sites and shopping areas with her.

“Excellent!”
Mayumi was a great tour guide - we had limited time based on our family’s schedule, but Mayumi accommodated our schedule and gave us a great introduction to Hiroshima. She is very knowledgeable and kind. Would recommend!
“Kyoto - so much seen in 7hrs!”
As we are not a fan of organised tours & still quite young at heart (68 & 81), we decided to see Kyoto with a Japanese guide. We chose Yuta & he was extremely efficient in answering any questions prior to our trip. As our cruise ship was docking in Osaka, we were quite apprehensive about navigating the rail system to Kyoto to meet him but Yuta very kindly travelled to Osaka to meet us at the local subway which was a huge relief for us when we saw how many line changes we had to make! Yuta showed us all the sites we had agreed on prior to the trip except one where he recommended an equally beautiful area with far less tourists, which we were grateful for during the busy Cherry Blossom season. Yuta was kind, funny, relaxed, patient & a wonderful guide with excellent knowledge of the history & customs of the Japanese way of life. He was only too happy to answer our many questions. Thank you Yuta - you made a very busy day in Kyoto easy to follow despite long distances & stairs!! All the best for your future.
