About Tour Guide Richard G.

“The very best Guide”

Our family [5adults] really enjoyed Richard's english accent, whilst describing what we were seeing. We couldn't have done all we did, without him. Richard accommodated Aunty Vi, reducing her walking, by racing back to get the car. Truly, the best guide we had in Japan. if you are on a short trip 3 weeks like us, we Highly recommend a great guide as difficult to understand how to get to places & you need the narrative to understand.

Thank you so much, Debra, for your review. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and your family. I’m very glad you all enjoyed the tour and that Aunty Vi was comfortable throughout. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and I hope the rest of your trip was just as memorable.

““Unbearably” amazing experience ”

We had a wonderful day exploring the amazing world heritage villages around Shirakawa-go. Richard was a well-prepared informative and interesting guide, whose enthusiasm was infectious and who had a boundless patience and understanding when my autistic daughters became overwhelmed. He took our safety seriously and wore his bear bell at every stop. We felt like we had spent the day with a friend.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was wonderful spending the day with you all in Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. You are a lovely family with a great sense of humour, and you made the day feel more like an outing with friends than a tour. I am glad you enjoyed the bell. It certainly helps to keep things bearable, even when the mountains get lively! I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need any help or advice. Warm regards, Richard

“Very enjoyable half day with Richard”

Richard is one of the most informative and knowledgeable tour guides that we had the pleasure to spend time with. The tour was tailored to our request, with Richard driving us to certain locations. Hearing his firsthand knowledge of local culture as a Brit with a Japanese family living in Kanazawa was invaluable. We would highly recommend him for your tailored tour. Valérie and Mike
