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

Anna which is our local tour guide have a lot of experience when it comes to Nagoya life, she brought us to Nagoya Castle, Atsuta-jingu Shrine then Shirotori Garden. During the journey, she also touch on the local famous which we certainly appreciate her sharing. Do note that while she is the perfect local guide but she might not be a historian type of guide that some might expects from travel agency.
