“Wonderful day in Tokyo”
Carol is an outstanding guide; could not ask for more. She is pleasant, personable, intelligent and exposed us to every aspect of Tokyo that we had expressed an interest in. Outstanding in every respect.

“Fantastic Guide - Kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to!”
Carol was our day 1 guide in Tokyo and she was excellent! She communicated frequently and was really nice! She was able to adjust our itinerary as schedules changed and make sure to get us to our pre booked plans on time. I now know why she is highly rated - she earns it! Thank you for taking pictures for us too, Carol, those are some of our favorite memories!

“If you are lucky enough that she is available then don't hesitate and book Carol”
I just spent an amazing full day Tokyo with Carol. Her English is great, she was friendly, extremely agile, adjusting her style to my preferences and extremely outgoing and easy to talk to. So my advice is simple, if she is still available on the date you want to visit Tokyo, don't hesitate and book her!
