“A competent, helpful and proactive guide”
I had a great day with Miki in Tokyo. She picked me up punctually at my airport hotel . She supported me with the collection and set up of my SIM and data device at the airport; thanks to her, everything was easy! Then she helped me with navigating Tokyo Station and buying some specific items I was looking for. She suggested a lovely restaurant for lunch, and I could try some new dishes. Finally, she directed me to the right platform for my train journey, making sure until the end that I was going in the right direction. I thoroughly recommend Miki as a helpful guide and pleasant companion.
