Dennis was incredible. I spent about six hours with him as my guide in Hong Kong. From the very beginning, he was very professional. The tour and sights were exactly what I wanted. I felt very comfortable with him. I can highly recommend him.

Our guide, Kenta, is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He showed us Gion District and Kenninji Temple in a two-hour tour. Because of my bad knees, he met us at our hotel. He grew up in the United States, communicating in English is not a problem at all. Highly recommend him!

Milo was superb! This man sure knows his history, and he is gifted in his ability to share his knowledge in a way that is both captivating and interesting. Even my teenage boys were paying close attention to him, and they never got bored (which says a lot for teenagers on a historical tour). Milo effortlessly guided us throughout Kyoto, and picked the perfect places for us to enjoy. When we return, we will seek him out to be our tour guide every time!

A good guide is prepared to show you the highlights of an area. Christine did that and more while she anticipated questions, listened carefully and took the visitor to see unique and out of the way sites which resulted in an even better tour.
