“Simply great!”

Dai did what every great guide do and then some. He really cared for his guest. He made sure that we were able to visit all the places we requested to see for the 4 hour long tour. He always made sure that we were okay and not struggling as the tour progressed aware that my wife and I have knee problems. He was very detailed in his description of the various sites we visited. He helped us look for items at the Akihabara for our children who are very much into anime. We even stopped at Imo Pippi, as per my request, to savor their famous baked potatoes. He also made sure that we made it to teamLab Planets for our scheduled time to view the show . He delivered us to the front door with lots of time to spare. As the tour progressed, we conversed in a very familiar-like way. It made for a very comfortable inter-action between us. Overall, we highly recommend his services for any tour that he offers.

“Incredible Guide and Fantastic Tour -The highlight of our trip. ”

We were on a cruise around Japan ending in Tokyo and I had booked Dai for an 8 hour tour. My email was not working so my communications were down. Dai had sent some info about about a proposed tour which I could not open or send a reply . He was promptly waiting for us at the hotel and we were able to sit down and discuss our tour.He had one plan already laid out for us. On our cruse we had visited a number of shrines and temples and no time to see the culture, arts, crafts and cuisine of Japan. We also wanted to purchase some souvenirs . We told him what we wanted and he revised our tour to suit us. He led us on a great tour which took us trough the intricate subway system and allowed us to find the things we wanted. He was really patient with an older couple finding escalators, elevators and importantly seats on the subway. It was a superb tour by a great guide and would highly recommend to a tour with Dai but be sure to do it well in advance. He also has an interesting history of world travel. Thank you Dai for such a great experience Norm and Laurie

Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Norm. It was absolutely my great pleasure to show you around Tokyo. I really enjoyed walking around and talking with you during the tour. I learned a lot of things from you. Also, I was so glad to be able to see that you really enjoyed Tuna Sushi, Wagyu beef skewer, fresh seafood like sea urchin and oyster, and grilled eel skewer at Tsukiji Outer Market. I hope you will come back to Japan sometime in the future again and visit other beautiful places as well. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your wonderful wife, Laurie. Thanks a million!!!
