It was a really nice experience with a very nice tour guide Mizki , she’s a very nice young and professional, very friendly and with good attitude and energy. Thanks
It was nice Andrew our guide was super friendly we did a lot I really enjoyed it was a nice experience
The leader had 40 people to keep up with even though he was able to handle us all it was a task. I would suggest smaller group or headsets to hear actions.
Well knowledgeable guide. He explained the. Historical part & sometime with a humour sense Should given more time to explore the place It was a rushing trip

My family and I had the pleasure of being guided by Allan during one of the busiest times in Japan – Golden Week. Despite the crowds and hectic pace, Allan was absolutely fantastic. One thing we really love is Allan's energy was infectious. Allan managed every challenge with a smile and kept the group moving smoothly through packed stations, popular attractions, and tight schedules. It’s not easy handling the chaos of Golden Week, but Allan did it effortlessly. If you want a guide who knows Japan inside out and stays calm and cheerful under pressure, ask for Allan. Highly recommended!
