If you want to do it right then you will tour with Maricel

One of the two of us is in a wheelchair and she made sure that the trip was extra special for him. She knows so much and she is so informative. She’s gracious and accommodating. We love spending time with her as much as we love spending time in Kyoto. When we come back, we will definitely hire her for more than just a four hour tour. It would just be a mistake to pass up having her as your tour guide.
