“Flexible and fun”
Carol is a great host and guide. Coming to Tokyo we had a lot of questions about transit and how to use it - Carol showed us how to navigate and helped us book a complicated train travel itinerary. Picking us up at our hotel, she tailored the itinerary so we saw a perfect mix of history, culture and sights.

“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!
Carol N.
