“OSAKA, KIOTO Y NARA ”

Osaka fue una parada de dos dias del crucero y Takashi hizo que aprovecharamos el tiempo al maximo, el primer dias nos movilizamos en un vans que alquilamos de Osaka a Kioto y visitamos todos los sitios mas relevantes, ir con Takashi nos permitió movilizarnos rápido, luego regresamos a Osaka y nos orientó en lo que debíamos hacer por nuestra cuenta. El segundo día nos recogió en la terminal y salimos juntos a Nara, recorrimos Nara y al medio día regresamos a Osaka para terminar de recorrer los sitios mas emblemáticos de Osaka y luego nos llevo a la terminal de cruceros. Takashi es una persona muy educada que nos fue explicando la historia en los diferentes sitios visitados, fue muy eficiente en el uso del tiempo y gracias a él, en el poco tiempo que tuvimos en Osaka, logramos conocer 3 ciudades. Habla perfectamente bien el español, fue un guia EXCELENTE!!

I wish to thank very much Takashi for the very interested tour of Kyoto. Everything was perfect, well organized and timed. Such a great and fantastic experience and day for my first visit in Japan. Takashi was so kind, helpful, patient, passionnated in providing me a lot of information about his country and culture. Thanks also for the lovely lunch and place. An unforgettable day and for sure I shall come back to Japan. Many thanks again Takashi ! I highly recommend this experience to anyone.
