“A beautiful day in Tokyo”
We had a wonderful time touring Tokyo with Carol! Even though the weather didn’t initially cooperate, we were so grateful for Carol’s flexibility in rescheduling our tour for the following day. She curated a thoughtful and personalized itinerary that perfectly matched our travel style and the interests we had shared beforehand. Carol introduced us to the beautiful side of the city—from serene shrines and lush parks to the stunning national gardens. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend booking a tour with her!
Carol N.
