“Great guide for Tokyo!”
I had only one full day in Tokio and needed to pack it so to visit most of the interesting places in Tokio, which are too many. And, considering a complexity of excellent metro/subway system along with language issues, it's impossible without a very good guide. That's where Dai as able to make it happened. Thanks to him, we were able to visit all the sites I planned to see and , from him, I had learned souch about history of Japan and local traditions, despite the rainy day. Arigato gozaimasu, Dai!

(247 reviews)Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Dimitri. It was absolutely my great pleasure to show you around Tokyo. It was so much fun to walk around and talk with you during the tour. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy day though. Please come back to Japan again sometime in the future and stay much longer the next time and visit other beautiful cities as well. I hope you will have a super wonderful time in Guam and enjoy scuba diving. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your family. Thanks a million!!!
“Great guide to explore Kyoto with!”
It's a pleasure to thank Hiroko for a great tour around Kyoto just a few days ago. We were able to visit all the beautiful historic sites I planned to see and Hiroko was very knowledgeable and passionate about history of all of them! I would highly recommend her services for Kyoto visitors! Okini!
