“Terrific tours with Atsuko!”
My wife and I spent two days with Atsuko touring Tokyo. We were first time visitors and wanted to get an overview of the city and its culture. Atsuko was so patient and kind from our pre-tour correspondence through our post-tour interactions. She could not have been more accommodating and really listened to our interests, changing the tour on the second day to more closely match our interests. Not only did she introduce us to the neighborhoods, but she gave cultural information (for instance, how to respectfully visit a Shinto shrine) and a crash course in the subways and trains of Tokyo. She picked excellent lunch choices based on our input too. Just an overall wonderful experience! We would highly recommend tours with Atsuko.
