Latest reviews from our guests

    Fumiko was a very kind and patient guide. She took us to all of the most popular spots, expertly navigating the crowds and complex routes. She also took us to a few lesser known areas, always taking time to explain the context/history and even share some of the special local foods! We really appreciated her time.
