“Kind and caring, easy to work with and knowledgeable.”
We had a lovely tour of Tokyo today with Carol who was totally charming, supportive and friendly. Our transfer times were a little unclear so we were not able to give Carol very precise meeting times and we have never been to Japan before let alone Tokyo so we had no idea of an itinerary …. So we were not easy to work with ….. but … Carol was totally calm, flexible and easy to work with. She arranged a lovely afternoon for us at a pace we could manage. I could see that she was full of energy and ideas and keen so show he lovely city but we were grateful to her for matching her offer to our capacity and needs. I was really grateful to her for making sure we could manage the metro and she kindly made sure we were safely on the right journey back to our hotel at the end of the tour. What a lovely lady.
