Reviews

“Leo is a legend! ”

Leo was an awesome guide for a rainy day in Kyoto. He managed to keep us out of the rain and entertained as much as possible despite the weather and he was so good with our kids aged 11 and 8, who bombarded him with endless questions about Pokemon! His English is excellent and it was so interesting to hear about his life and experiences as a young person in Japan, and his knowledge of castles, shrines, temples and Japanese history and culture really added to our day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leo to anyone, especially if you have children or teens - he is knowledgeable, engaging and a lot of fun - please come and visit us if ever you’re in the UK!

“A day in Osaka with Leo on a wet day!”

We had a wet day in Osaka with Leo and honestly it couldn't have gone better. He's kind hearted, warm, funny and just really easy to be around. Our boys (8 and 9) took to him straight away, and he always had one eye on them to make sure they were safe, which meant we could relax too. Osaka Castle was a highlight. Leo knew the history inside out and told it in a way that kept everyone interested, kids included. The rest of the day was nice and laid back. We had a good lunch, wandered through a market, then spent a long time playing video games in the Round One arcade, which was the perfect way to dodge the rain. The boys loved hanging out with him. He was like the perfect big brother to them. We'd recommend Leo to any family without a second thought.

“Fantastic tour guide!”

Japan was wonderful, yet I would not have enjoyed it as much if I didnt have Leo as a tour guide. He is knowledgeable with all things and was able to direct the tour through the train/metro with ease. He is ready to accommodate the tour to your needs and wants. Highly recommend him!
