“Fun and knowledgeable tour guide”
Bonnie took us for a full day around Takayama and Shirakawa-Go. Even though it was a rainy day out, she remained vivacious, engaging and switched-on the whole time. She was well-prepared and knowledgeable about the areas she brought us too, and her passion for her adopted home really shone through the whole time. She even took us to her favourite retail spots for some shopping of local craftsmen wares which really capped off a marvellous day.
