We give Kumiko 5 plus stars for her excellent guide service. She is a wonderful, charming individual who is very knowledgeable. We wanted a guide to take us to small art galleries and she brought us to some wonderful places and gave us a lot of background on artists, galleries and neighborhoods. We would definitely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone. Kumiko is a lovely person and an excellent guide for your time in Tokyo! Thank you Kumiko!
Dear Vincent C & Ted, Thanks so much for your feedback. It's more than I deserve. I was really happy to see you two and enjoyed visiting art galleries together. Please come back and see you again! Kumiko
Kazuhiro was everything we hoped for. Professional, prepared, thoughtful, knowledgeable and accommodating. I would highly recommend him as your guide. I had no worries as he took good care of us. His handouts and binder of information was very informative. He took great care in sharing his knowledge with us. His English is very good and we had no communication challenges. Thanks for a wonderful 3 days!!
Thank you for the nice review. I apologize for making you walk a lot in the hot weather. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by train delays. I hope you will recover from your fatigue soon. I was also happy to have spent three enjoyable days with your family. I hope this tour will be a tour to remember. Thank you!!
We loved our experienced touring Kyoto with Mari. She went above and beyond and showed us tasty spots to eat lunch and dessert. She was knowledgeable about the area and all the best places for pictures!! She was flexible and open to visiting places around the city which caught our interest- Fushimi Inari was especially fun with her as our guide. Thank you for the wonderful experience
Thank you so much for your review! It encourages me a lot!! Yes, indeed, it was a very nice moment with you and your family. I am happy to meet you all again and again in the future! Hopefully, "No typhoon" next time! (I was concerned about how you would manage with the Typhoon panic) I am sure you will have another chance to visit Japan in the future. Looking forward to meeting you again! Arigato-gozaimashita!!
Taro is the ultimate tour guide. Kind, insightful, knowledgeable and flexible, Taro made our (family of 5) tour of Tokyo simply amazing. Taro knows Tokyo inside and out, and he took us to the most amazing sights in the city. He knows all of the vintage areas as well as the major destinations and provided us with historical context as well. Vintage shopping is super cool in Japan and Taro has insider knowledge and knows where to go. He is also very flexible as we had to modify our tour due to a typhoon hitting Japan which delayed our arrival. But it was no problem for Taro, and he made the necessary adjustments. He took us to the most incredible Wagyu beef restaurant for lunch—a meal we will not forget. He is interesting to talk to and knows the music industry thoroughly. Taro responded quickly to my questions when I was initially setting up the tour and made great itinerary suggestions. Anyone looking for an insightful, fun and dynamic tour, Taro is your guy! I highly recommend him.
I truly appreciate your wonderful review. Unfortunately, we experienced a typhoon during your visit, but I’m so happy to hear that you still enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure to see your interest in our culture, and I had such a great time discussing our history and traditions with you. As a tour guide, it’s an honor to be a part of your travel experience. You and your family are amazing—so kind and heartwarming. Thank you so much again. I look forward to seeing you again sometime soon!
