Maricel is a great tour guide

We booked Maricel for our first day in Tokyo, in order to learn more information about the things we were seeing. We went with Maricel to the Fushimiinari Shrine, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka Slopes and the Kiyomizu Temple. Maricel was friendly and kind, and provided detailed explanations about everything we were seeing, including background history and other cultural aspects. We would have no hesitation recommending Maricel.
