My reviews

Eli was an excellent tour host and made for an excellent experience of the area. I will give a five star review. She was flexible and showed us interesting places. The fact that she was a native English speaker was great. Took us to interesting places based on her personal knowledge of the area. Knowledgeable, friendly and respectful tour guide.

The trip was completely customisable and Eli (our guide) was amazing. She put together all the things that we wanted to do while explaining the Japanese culture and art forms. It was an enriching afternoon and we enjoyed visiting temples, shrines, besides trying our hand at doll making. We also found an amazing vegetarian place to have lunch. Thank you Eli for the great experience

Eli was awesome. She helped us understand Japanese culture and practices and let us enjoy the day at our pace and in the manner in which we wanted. She also helped us find good vegetarian food
