A day spent with a local guide named Nobo was incredibly intense and enlightening. In this age of AI, when all information seems just a click away and we think we already know everything, genuine human connection with someone who truly understands the environment, people, and customs is invaluable. Kind, intelligent, unobtrusive, and easy to communicate with—he speaks American English fluently. Thank you, Nobo, for this remarkable experience!

Nobu was wonderful! Customized the tour to our pace; made sure we saw fascinating cultural locations as well as allowing us time to explore and absorb. Showed us how to ride the trains and made sure we had a delicious authentic lunch. Highly recommend him and this tour!
