“Great half day tour of Tokyo”
We had such a great time with our Carol! She was super fun, easygoing, and really knew her stuff. She was also super flexible and helped us out a lot when we ran into some transit issues, which we really appreciated. She made our first day in Tokyo way smoother and more enjoyable—highly recommend!

“Great introduction to Tokyo ”
Our first morning in Japan was spent with Carol N. She was simply amazing. We jumped on the subway and went to a couple of destinations we wanted to see. Carol answered all the questions about how to get around, some basic phrases and some great tips on what else we should see in the city. Plus the proper etiquette when in a shrine or temple. I would highly recommend getting a guide if you are looking to avoid too much of a culture shock on your first day. Carol was on time, friendly, fun and her English is perfect! Thanks again Carol. Hope to see you next time you are in Toronto. Tony and Kelly Anne
