My reviews
-
She was very prompt in meeting us. She communicated each day before to make sure we knew exactly where we should be picked up. She taught us a lot about the culture of Japan and about everywhere we went today. she was very sweet and would highly recommend her in the future to any of our friends that are coming to Japan. We really had a wonderful experience with her.

Anna was awesome. It was a very hot day so she paid close attention to our needs. We loved using public transportation and every location was geared towards the enjoyment of a 10 year old. I would use Anna anytime and very comfortable referring her to friends
