Latest reviews from our guests

Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.

Marc was excellent in providing us an introductions to the many sights of Tokyo. We thought 4 hours was a long time but we barely scratched the surface. There were so many things to do and so many places to see. But he was able to help us navigate the complicated Metro system and provided us with very helpful tips on how to maximize our time in Tokyo. Having kids of his own, Marc was able to engaged skillfully with our daughter and made the experience even more meaningful for us. If your looking to explore Tokyo for the first time or take your sight seeing to the next level. You will be in good hands with Marc Paris. Merci Beaucoup
