“Fantastic day”
I loved spending the day with Carol as she took me around showing me the best of Tokyo, steering clear of tourist traps once we got going which is the mark of a great guide since there's only so much you can tell over email without meeting someone in person. Carol made the entire day a fun and knowledgeable experience I would recommend to anyone!
