“Toured Tokyo and the metropolitan areas”
Virginie, was prompt, professional but also was very warm and personal on our tour and demonstrated the exact knowledge that met our hopes and expectations and beyond. So long as you are polite and respectful she will answer all questions honestly and directly even if they are answers you may not want to hear but should to get to know the real Tokyo positively and negatively. We loved that. She is a fast walker which is a good thing so you can see as much as you can in your allotted time but slowed down at our request and was happy to oblige. If you have a larger group of 5 or more like we did she will also take the time to repeat information to others who may be dispersed because of the crowds so everyone gets to equally hear all information. That is a really big plus and added value for your tour members. All in all, 5+ stars. Thank you Virginie for making our tour and trip more special than it otherwise would have been. P.S. I think I called her Virginia and her name is Virginie. She did not correct me but please get her name right :-) Regards, Scott
