“3 DIAS EN TOKIO”
Jaime nos hizo un tour de 3 días en Tokio muy completo, llevándonos a conocer todos los lugares turísticos y mostrándonos la belleza arquitectónica de la ciudad, es una persona estudiada con conocimiento de la historia de todos los sitios que visitamos, nos llevó a comer a sitios no turísticos y comimos delicioso!! Habla perfectamente bien el español, fue puntual y muy eficiente en el uso del tiempo.

“Pain free day in Tokyo”
My cousins and I had a chance to have a brief family reunion in Tokyo, but we only had a day in a city we were completely unfamiliar with. After giving Jamie a brief psychological profile, he put together a great itinerary which made everyone happy. I was impressed by Jamie's knowledge of the city and jealous of his language skills. What's more, spending time with him was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to him, we didn't have to spend time researching and studying maps and had a thoroughly enjoyable reunion. We got a taste of Tokyo that left us wanting more. I can't recommend Jamie highly enough!
