My family and I had an amazing experience with Momoko. She was so pleasant and personable. It was nice to talk and experience Japan with a Japanese native. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend.

She was great fun & had organized the surprise birthday cake as I asked for. She even gave John a birthday card & origami bird. She phoned up a lot of restaurants to find one that had a vegan menu as well as Wagyu beef. Lovely lady & highly recommended.
