The experience was made all the better by our guide, Akihiro. His Interpretation & enthusiasm of the sights, his historical knowledge, & his flexibility to adapt the tour made to our requests made it all more memorable! His English was good & he made the best use of our time! He was prompt picking us up at our location & made sure we were back again safely! We are an older couple & he was cautious not to stress us beyond our capabilities. If we could have stayed in Japan longer, we would have hired him for more trips! We highly recommend Akihiro & Viator!
