“Outstanding Guide”
My wife and I toured four days with Tom. I highly recommend him as your private tour guide. He customized each day to our priorities and was knowledgeable about each site visited. He was thoughtful and communicated effectively both in planning and while on tours. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. Definitely exceeded our expectations.

Stephen and Sherri from Tom, I really appreciate the wonderful time you so kindly allowed me to spend with you. I also thank GoWithGuide for presenting me with such a wonderful opportunity. While it was an important work for me, it has turned out to be more like a quality time I truly enjoy being with such nice people. I feel that I truly enjoyed working for you during those 4 days. If my service was good, it’s a pure reflection of how nice of people you are. Meeting with nice people is the greatest joy in doing the tour guide. I want to thank you once again for making me happy. I will think about you a lot and I hope we will meet again!! Sincerely, Tsutomu “Tom” Harada

“Great guide makes for a great day”
Due to an injury to our original guide, Tsutomu (Tom) was his replacement and what a replacement, excellent in every aspect. Communication, English, knowledge, pace of tour, notably the transport system were superb.

I do appreciate your kindness that comes from warm heart. Initially the day had started as “work” but shortly after, I found myself truly enjoying the day. The greatest joy of a tour guide is meeting with nice people and you made my day. If my service was good, it is totally because of your character and considerations. I thank you once again for being with my guests, which has become my unforgettable memory. With all my very best. Tom
