I had an incredible experience with our guide Shin in Japan! Shin’s off-the-beaten-track tour was a perfect blend of adventure and insight, keeping both adults and children thoroughly engaged. His deep knowledge of the area shone through in every detail, from hidden gems to fascinating local stories, making the journey unforgettable for all of us. Highly recommend Shin for an authentic and captivating exploration!

Our tour guide Mai was fantastic! She curated the tour to our tastes which were primarily architecture, history, and food. We were about to see beautiful gardens, try a wonderful new food, and got great insight on the culture of Kyoto compared to the other cities. Could not have been more pleased with this experience!

Akari was a fantastic guide in Kanazawa! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. We spent four wonderful hours chatting about everything—from local culture to daily life in Japan. She gave us great tips on what to see and do. An unforgettable and enriching experience. Thank you, Akari!

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.
