“We love to take a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide. Tachi worked hard to create a tour of Tokyo that met our needs. She sent emails and we discussed what would be best for us.

We discussed architecture along the way and she pointed out many buildings of…”

“Host very nice, was a shame there was some cloud over Mount Fugi but I liked the Japanese gardens. At the meeting point I arrived 30 min early and there was many yellow flags it was difficult to find my guide. It does feel slightly rush you don't get long enough to see each site but by the end of the day you are quite tired so maybe it's best that way otherwise it's a long day. I booked the evening before.
