“Visiting just a few of the Historic sites”
Mrs Maliki was wonderful guide, with great knowledge of the history of her country and willing to share wonderful insights into Tokyo life as a native. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with her .

“Wonderful guide”
We had a fantastic two days with Makiko - she was so efficient and helpful and informative. We will definitely recommend her to everyone who plans to travel to Japan. Having a wonderful guide made all the difference to our visit. Tokyo is a special place and Makiko was the icing on the cake!!

“Kamakura and Tokyo Tours”
The day after arriving in Japan we arranged to have a tour of Kamakura and the following day a half day tour of Tokyo. Both of these were with Makiko. Makiko was recommended to us. We found her to be very pleasant to spend time with. She is knowledgeable with regards to the sites we visited but also on the broader aspects of Japanese culture. She was accomodating to our particular needs. We visited some temples and shrines which were enhanced by the information provided by Makiko. We particularly enjoyed the soba noodle restaurant Makiko took us to. We arranged these tours as an introduction to our 2 weeks in Japan. We are now on our own to make the most of our holiday. Makiko has offered for us to sms if we have any further questions which crop up during our visit. I think this is over and above her commitment to us. I would very much recommend Makiko to guide others wishing to enhance their experience of Japan.
