My guide Tomo was lovely. She was very knowledgeable and I was able to see things that most tourists would miss. She catered the tour to my interests, so it was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful tailored walking tour with Shiunn who has an obvious passion for Sapporo and was quick to pick up on our interests. We had a lovely spontaneous tea ceremony at a tea shop which she proposed when she heard it was my husbands birthday and that he loved tea. A fabulous way to see the city when first arriving.

We really enjoyed our 4 hour long walks with Mariana. It was very educational and fun. We walked at a comfortable pace, stopping whenever we needed to. Mariana provided so many interesting information about the history, culture and lifestyle of people in Okinawa that now it feels like we should start visiting any place with this type of tour. Definitely recommended to anyone who would like to get to know more,

Since we had no overview of the huge city of Tokyo, our tour guide suggested a route based on our wishes and interests. Everything worked out perfectly and the organization was excellent. We really enjoyed the tour and appreciated the helpful recommendations and flexibility. Thank you for the great experience!
