          Best way to enjoy Kyoto
          Kazuma-san was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and really helped us learn about Kyoto and the city's history. He also took so many pictures of us to remember our trip. He was very kind and thoughtful. We really enjoyed this tour and I highly recommend seeing the city with Kazuma-san!

          Unforgettable !
          An exceptional experience! Our guide, Motoke, in Japan took us on a remarkable tour of the Tsukiji and Toyosu fish markets. Her professionalism, passion, and expertise made this visit truly unforgettable. With detailed explanations and captivating anecdotes, Motoke immersed us in the heart of Japanese culinary culture. This excursion deserves every one of its 5 stars and comes highly recommended!

          Excellent Hiroshima experience with Michi
          Excellent tour seeing lots of what Hiroshima has to offer and learning about both its past and its present. Michi was a phenomenal tour guide - professional, kind, and full of insight about everything we saw. She also gave us itinerary suggestions ahead of time based on things we weren’t aware of (exhibit closures, etc). We can’t thank Michi enough!!

          Kyoto with Kazz
          Our Kyoto tour guide was wonderful. Kazz made the experience very easy but, more importantly, exceptionally informative. First, Kazz made a point of picking us up at our hotel and mapping out our day of site seeing. Once we reached our site, he described each location in great detail and pointed out things others would not always see. Kazz is not only a great guide but takes a ton of pictures and has them made available for your access the next day. We regret not spending more time with Kazz learning about Kyoto. We look forward to returning to Kyoto and certainly making contact with Kazz. Again, we highly recommend Kazz on your next visit to Kyoto!

          Accommodating guide for family
          Our guide Hiro was very accommodating, which was helpful because we were traveling with an active 2 year-old. He customized an itinerary for us that was based on the train commute. He showed us Imperial Palace, Senso-ji temple and we had lunch in Asakusa. We made a pit stop at Ginza and would have gone on to Ueno garden as well but had to cut the tour short because toddler required nap. Hiro took pictures for us, which is nice. We wouldn't have pics of everyone otherwise.

          A truly incredible experience
          The sites were worth seeing on their own (especially Miyajima and Itsukushima), but it was our tour guide who elevated the entire experience to something truly special. Throughout Miyajima Island and Itsukushima Shrine we were treated to picturesque views and given incredible historical and cultural background that deepend our appreciation of everything we saw. At the Atomic Dome and through the Peace Park and museum, we were given stories and details we could never have heard on our own. She even made paper cranes for us to donate for Sadako! If you are lucky enough to have Masa as your guide, I can assure you that it will be an unforgettable experience. We got everything we hoped for and more, thank you so much Masa!

          Enjoyable and informative
          We had an amazing day with Minoru. He was very easy to get along with, and guided us effortlessly around Tokyo. He really spent time at the start to find out what we wanted to do, and tailored the day around that. And he was full of useful information - after a day with him we’re now very comfortable about navigating around Tokyo on public transport.

          Delightful English speaking Hiroshima born and raised tour guide
          Keiko Kuriso was a delightful English speaking tour guide who took my partner and I on a very moving and informative visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and a trip to Miyajima Island - she shared some favourite restaurants and special off- the-beaten-track spots. I highly recommend her for an excellent private tour of Hiroshima

          Osaka guide is too!
          Our guide Sachiko was so thoughtful and intelligent. She was well-prepared and even had taken the time before our tour to make it easy for our children to navigate their way home after their basketball experience at a local sports center after our tour. We moved about the city efficiently and learned so many new things about local customs and culture. Thank you!!

          Great day!
          We had a great day with Chas as our guide. He took us to several places by using the subway- which was an experience in its self. He shared lots of information about where we were and background history. Wonderful communicator.
