“Fantastic tour w a real professional ”
Chiaki arrived on-time (actually, a little early, which is my preference) and was very much prepared w our train schedules, which were really important because the tour was in our way back to the airport. We toured Shibamata w her - a beautiful and charming little town with an AMAZING temple (possibly our favorite of the many we saw on our trip). That was actually a suggestion she’d made a couple months earlier when I was looking to book a completely different tour w her: she knew we had only so many hours to tour before getting to the airport so she suggested Shibamata. She was right. It worked out perfectly. She even stayed with us until we boarded the train to Narita. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Steven, for your wonderful review! I’m truly happy to hear that the tour fit smoothly into your travel schedule and that everything worked well on your way to the airport. You must be at the airport right now, waiting for your flight. I’m especially glad you enjoyed Shibamata. It’s such a charming area, and I’m delighted it became one of your favorite places during your trip. Thank you for trusting my suggestion! It was a pleasure spending that time with you, and I’m glad I could assist you to have a half day trip before you fly from Narita. Hope you spend wonderful time in Thailand! Thank you again!
