My reviews

    We loved the personal touch that Tomo gave to our tour. She asked and knew the sort of interests we had and gave us some great recommendations. I was also able to work on my Japanese and ask for some translation.

    Tomo was a lovely guide. We were able to meet up easily and from the meeting point we were able to begin our tour quickly walking a short distance to see one of the major shrines in Tokyo. Tomo was flexible to our needs and what we wanted to see. She was knowledgeable and insightful. I would highly recommend Tomo.
