“Had a wonderful day with Maricel”
Maricel is a great tour guide and person. She is kind and caring and very knowledgeable of Japanese culture and history. I learned quite a bit. We endured 95deg heat while touring the sites. I will definitely book more trips with her in the future.

“Great tour with Maricel”
I needed a tour guide who could show me aspects of daily Filipino life in Kyoto and Maricel created an itinerary that met all my needs. She was friendly and knowledgeable, especially in the Gion area, where she took us to many spots off the regular tourist route. Thank you for a great tour, Maricel!
