I hope you'll take care of yourself and have wonderful travels from now on, too!
“Kyoto autumn tour”
Michiko was lovely, her communication prior to the tour was excellent, she met us at our hotel on time and we set off early to avoid the crowds, Michiko took us to some places that we would never have found without her which we loved, she was happy to change things around as the day went on and was very informative along the way, we really enjoyed our time with Michiko and could not recommend her highly enough, thank you Michiko ️!!

(55 reviews)Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. It was also a wonderful experience for me to spend an autumn day in Kyoto with such a relaxed, generous and open minded couple. It was truly relaxing hiking on Monkey Mountain and walking through the old preserved areas with few tourists. Most of all, your stories about your lovely family and life were fascinating! I hope you enjoy your trip and witness the beautiful changing of the seasons in Japan!
“Excellent Osaka Highlights Tour”
We had a very short time in Osaka and wanted to see some of the major sights. Michiko took us to 3 sights & we had lunch at a very good tempura restaurant she selected. She also accomodated my husband’s mobility issues. We would not have been able to do as much as we did without her. She is a great guide, kind, & excellent communicator. I highly recommend her!
