    Really made the tour personable. Informative. Relaxed. Funny. Consulted with us on what we wanted to see. Provided advice and suggestions. Crafted the experience. And delivered flawlessly.

    Merve did very well. She had to completely change the tour because of the torrential rain, but still gave us an excellent insight into daily life in Tokyo. I’m really pleased we had her with us today.

    What an amazing day with Merve! She took us all over the city, based on our personal requests, and was so much fun! My son, who is 17 throughly enjoyed having a young and slinky guide and when she gave him the low down on electric city, he knew where he wanted to go the next day! She took so many pictures of us which was so great as I normally am the one behind the camera and never in the picture. She had lots of great information and if there wasn’t something she was quite sure of, she looked it up. We would definitely recommend Merve to anyone who is looking for a great guide! The only regret I have is that we didn’t get a picture WITH her! Thanks again Merve!
