We had a great tour with Khalid! He adjusted to focus on activities the kids would enjoy and made sure we took breaks along the way. We saw so many great places in just a few hours, and he made many recommendations for additional places to go later in our trip.

We had a local guide, born and raised in Tokio. Very nice and gentle person with highly skilled knowledge about Tokio and Japan. Very experienced in touching the right spots of his customers. The two days with Kay, our guide were unforgetable.

We know we wouldn't have seen as much in Kyoto or learned as much about what we were seeing without such a knowledgeable guide! And, José David ended the tour by dropping us off at a wonderful sukiyaki restaurant. Great experience!

We did a 3 hour walking tour with Marina. We were a family of 6 with my two parents. The tour was brilliant. Marina was wonderful and full of knowledge. We would have missed half the stuff she showed us. Highly recommend this tour and Marina! She also gave us great recommendations for food and drink. The bar she recommended was one of the best we have been to with such an amazing zen vibe.

Yuri was our guide and she did fantastic. We had been to Nagasaki once before and visited the war memorial so this time we wanted to get to know the city better. She met us at the cruise port on time and was easy to find. She gave us a quick summary of what the day would entail and then led us on a wonderful tour of 3 different restaurants and a bit of her family and Japanese history as well. This was well worth the money and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Nagasaki.

Our tour guide Toga was wonderful. He was very considerate of our availability and catered his route and guidance to fit our needs throughout the entire tour. He gave us multiple recommendations including a wonderful restaurant we ate at after the tour we would have never found without him. He was also very knowledgeable and provided the perfect balance of history combined with his local insight and personal thoughts.
