“Family day trip”
Bonnie was very helpful and a pleasure to be with. If I were to do this trip again I would never choose July. way too hot. But other than that it was very nice.

Thank you Bonnie we had an amazing day with you. Your knowledge of the Takayama and Shirakawago area was fantastic and we loved walking the streets of Takayama and sampling the wonderful foods. Thank you for your generosity arranging our bus to Shirakawago. You were so kind to also help us with our JR tickets for our trip to Kyoto.
