My reviews
-
Anna was a great guide. she taught me the proper way to show respect in a shrine, gave me a brief understanding of the history of Nagoya Castle. When i said i want to try the Nagoya red bean paste toast, she was v willing to bring me even though it was not part of the itinerary. Her English is great and no communication breakdown throughout the tour. i enjoyed it.

Anna is a friendly and warm-hearted guide. She explained Nagoya Castle in & out detail and even though there were some unexpected situations along the way, we managed to solve them well. It was a short but enjoyable tour.
