Ai was so helpful and organized and developed a plan for Kyoto from Kobe. She was right there waiting for us with clear communication and took us to multiple sights and a very good ramen lunch. She was a good conversationalist and was so sweet. She made us feel comfortable and answered our many questions. She was great!
