“I was so comfortable with. Had a fabulous day. ”
My first GoWithGuide, my first solo trip and my first trip to Japan. How fortunate I was to select Carol as my guide. She not only showed me the sights I was most interested in in but taught me how to use and navigate the Tokyo transportation system for the next day on my own which worked out perfectly. We also had a memorable stand out lunch. It was a great introduction to Japan. Carol also took photos of me enjoying the sights that she promptly shared with me for my Facebook post.
