Your starting point needs to be more accurate in the maps, but your lady guide was excellent! Very good history lesson
Thank you so much for your participation. Following your advice, we modified our explanation for the meeting point for that the guests could find easily the Marunouchi South Exist (Ground floor) . Thank you again !
Blanca has a wealth of knowledge! And her English is very good and she’s very pleasant! Thank you for sharing your time!!
Bianca was very attentive and brought several relevant information about the history of Tokyo and Japan. I recommend the walk.

Hello ! Thank you so much for your participation to the tour and your kind words ! I was really happy to share with you two my passion for the Edo castle. I hope that you will continue your good stay in Japan. If you have chance, please think of coming to Takayama city of Gifu prefecture. You could enter in a landscape preserved from Edo period.
