Thank you Yuka for the kind words and choosing me as the guide for the tour! It was a great experience! :))
“Beautiful Mt Takao”
Had a completely fulfilling, beautiful and invigorating hike up to Mt Takao with Carol! She is an excellent guide, who is attentive to detail with a warm personality. Throughout the booking process, Carol is always very responsive and accommodating to your request. Mt Takao makes a really nice day out of Tokyo, you do have to be somewhat fit! But the autumn foliage, views, lovely town before the hike and dinner in a very special 'chicken' place (ask Carol!) makes this day trip very worthwhile. Thank you for looking after us, Carol! Had a very memorable time with you, a new found Tokyo friend.
Carol N.
Thank you for the great comment! I am very lucky to be your guide. It was such a pleasure to spend time with you… I think I could keep chatting with you for days and still feel fascinating ! We were very blessed with the weather … such a beautiful day with wonderful people… yes, very memorable! I look forward to seeing you again. And continue our fun chat… dear friend!

“Awesome Half Day in Tokyo!”
We had such a great time touring with Carol on our first adventure in Tokyo that we booked another tour with her on our return to Tokyo towards the end of our trip. Our group had a great time at the Pokemon exhibit that Carol discovered (which had just opened two days prior) at the Azabundai Hills Gallery, in addition to all the other things she showed us in our 4 hour trek. We highly recommend touring with Carol.
Carol N.
Thank you for the great review! I am so glad to discovered the Pokémon exhibit and we were so lucky getting the tickets ( with your talent! ) It was a great pleasure touring with you and your family! And sure a very special adventure to me as well. Look forward to seeing you all again in the next Tokyo visit!
