“Tokyo Must See Tour”
We had a very nice tour with Virginia B. She was pleasant and shared all her knowledge for each of our stops. We took many different trains and did lots of walking. We did not feel rushed and able to enjoy the sights at each location.

“Beaucoup, à notre rythme”
Virginie a su adapté les visites à notre rythme, à notre âge. Elle proposait des pauses pour reposer nous jambes. Très apprécié. Avec elle nous avons compris comment fonctionnait le réseau du métro. Les incontournables de Tokyo: ses explications, sans être interminables, étaient suffisantes pour susciter notre intérêt. Elle répondait à nos questions avec franchise. Virginie nous avons vraiment apprécié notre journée avec toi. Merci. Sylvie et Alain 05-04-2025.
