Our tour guide (Tommie) was very knowledgable with the places we visited and helpful in everything we did. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Nagoya for the first time. Tommie met us at the cruise port in Nagoya. Our small group of 6 people utterly enjoyed the tour.
Exceptional and professionalism.We are looking forward for our return in the near future with her to see more sites.

Tommie was a wonderful guide and very easy to understand. We loved the things we visited and especially the department store that was like Japan's Harrods - definitely a hidden gem we wouldn't have seen otherwise. And loved learning extra things about Japanese culture like the Women Only car on the subway, the manners campaign, baby dedications, the white snake... it was the best tour we took in Japan!
Fantastic tour!
