“ Marvelous experience with Tokie ”

We spent a wonderful day in Osaka with Tokie. She is a very professional and knowledgeable guide. Tokie is friendly, dynamic and very resourceful. If we come back to the Osaka area we will definitely ask for her assistance again. A great lady who deserves a big thank you!
