    I don’t have the words to describe how much we loved our tour guide, Kumiko. She was on time and met us at the precise location she told us she would be. From the very start, we knew we were in goods hands. Her love for her country and culture showed and she was so happy to share it with us. She was so knowledgeable and kind and by the end of the tour, she felt like family. We wanted to take her home with us. If we are ever in Kochi again we will make sure we see her. For those looking for a tour guide of Kochi, look no further. Kumiko is who you want. We love and miss her already.
