“Kyoto tour”
Our tour guide in Japan, Tomo-san, was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, so nice, kind, and genuinely helpful. He really knew his stuff and shared so many interesting stories and facts that made everything come alive. What stood out the most was how thoughtful and patient he was, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. It felt like we were exploring Japan with a friend.

Gigi, It was so amazing to see you and your brilliant boys, and it is my great honor to take you to the places I love. But this is just an entrance. I hope we will be touring again next spring to hunt Japanese Sakura cherry blossom in full bloom! Thank you so much!

“A fishing trip to remember...”
Thanks to Tomo my interest in going fishing in the mountains in Japan came true. Thankfully the autumn colours were on show surrounding the fishing location which was a bonus as we had not seen much colour during our tour of Japan. Tomo was a great help in arranging the entry to the fishing ponds and after we had caught enough then arranging for the fish to be prepared three ways for lunch, which was very delicious. Tomo has excellent English language skills, and is someone who is very easy to chat with, which made for a very enjoyable day. In terms of the overall day, I didn't plan enough after the fishing to get full use of the time available, although a detour to a shopping centre on the way back did allow us to stock up on packaged food items to bring back as treats. Overall, we were very happy that we had Tomo as our guide and the trout fishing and it's setting were very memorable. Whilst Tomo's passion is the outdoors (of which Japan has truly exceptional tracts of it), I would strongly recommend him as a guide for a range of tour options. Thank you Tomoe for a memorable day.

“ Gorgeous Scenery along Nakasendo Trail ”
Tomo is an excellent and experienced guide for all outdoor activities. We were two physically active women in our 60s. Tomo was flexible and accommodating to our level of physical fitness, providing us with different options for our hikes daily depending on our energy level. He made excellent judgment and was able change plans at moments notice due to unpredictability of the weather. The selection of trails Tomo made for our hike were not only gorgeous but were so varied making our hikes interesting. Last but not least, Tomo made certain that we were safe at all times, advised us on ways to improve our steps and proper use of our hiking poles during our multi-day hikes. I recommend him without any hesitation.
