“EXCELLENT !!!”
If I could give her a million stars I would. She was on time, very knowledgeable and easily went with the flow. She helped do things she didn’t have to. My son is autistic and she was very accommodating with our non-traditional itinerary and food choices. Don’t walk, run to book her! If we come back I would do it again!
Chiaki K.
Thank you so much Jen, for your kind and heartfelt review! Your “million stars” and “don’t walk, run” recommendation made me smile! It was a pleasure spending the day with your group. Every family has their own way of enjoying a day, and I was happy seeing Noah having fun. Thank you for the Butterbeer. It will remind me of you throughout my life. I truly hope you’ll come back to Japan someday. It would be a pleasure and an honor to spend another day exploring Tokyo with you. Thank you again!
