“Tour deludente / Disapponing tour ”

ITA: Ho prenotato questa visita guidata con l’obiettivo di visitare i punti principali di Tokyo e scoprirne la storia e curiosità a riguardo. Purtroppo sono rimasta molto delusa dal tour a causa della superficialità e mancanza di entusiasmo da parte di Virginia nell’esporre la storia dei luoghi visitati e nel rispondere alle nostre domande. Quello che pensavamo sarebbe stato un arricchimento culturale si è rilevato essere un tour che avremmo potuto fare tranquillamente da soli, leggendo qualche informazione su Internet. EN: I booked this guided tour with the goal of visiting key spots in Tokyo and learning about their history and interesting facts. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed; Virginia’s presentation of the history of the places we visited—as well as her responses to our questions—lacked both depth and enthusiasm. What we had hoped would be an enriching cultural experience turned out to be a tour we could have easily done on our own, simply by reading a bit of information online.

Cara Shirin, La ringrazio molto per aver condiviso il suo feedback. Mi dispiace sinceramente che il tour non sia stato all'altezza delle sue aspettative e che non abbia trasmesso quell'entusiasmo e quell'approfondimento culturale che cerco sempre di offrire ai miei ospiti. Apprezzo molto le sue parole, poiché i vostri commenti sono per me uno stimolo prezioso per migliorare costantemente la qualità delle mie visite guidate a Tokyo. Farò tesoro di questa esperienza per arricchire ulteriormente i contenuti storici e curare ogni dettaglio con maggiore attenzione in futuro. Spero di avere l'occasione di accogliervi nuovamente a Tokyo per offrirvi un'esperienza decisamente migliore. Un cordiale saluto, Virginie Dear Shirin, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sincerely sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that it fell short of the depth and enthusiasm I always strive to provide for my guests. I truly value your comments, as guest feedback is essential for helping me continuously improve the quality of my tours in Tokyo. I will certainly use this experience to enrich the historical insights and pay closer attention to every detail moving forward. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Tokyo again in the future and provide you with a much more rewarding experience. Warm regards, Virginie

“Mount Takao and onsen”

Virginie was a wonderful guide. Had a lovely day with her exploring Takao and finishing up by relaxing at the onsen. It was great to have Virginie help navigate the trip out of Tokyo.

“Un giorno a Tokyo”
