Very good tour. Would recommend. It was a very hot day and we were kind of tired, so we cut it a bit short. Enjoyed hearing about her life as teacher.
Excellent guide and tour

An absolutely perfect tour with an amazing guide! We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Yuko. She did an excellent job keeping us entertained, informed, and working to ensure we got to see and do everything we wanted in our limited time. I highly recommend this tour, specifically if you are able to take it with Yuko.
Enjoyable tour of Nagoya

The guide arrived punctually at the meeting point and was always watching us and make the experience enjoyable, even striving to speak some Spanish. It was a very pleasant tour and we could see several places, as I knew the city well
Just like touring with a friend

Thank you Kumi for a wonderful day out. We really enjoyed the ‘Nagoya highlight tour guided by a friendly local’. It really was like walking with a friend who is very familiar with the area. Under expert guidance we were guided through the Nagoya rail system to discover places we might not have found ourselves. We learned about customs and traditions and were able to sample different foods along the way. This tour was an excellent experience and a great introduction to Japanese way of life. We would strongly recommend Kumi to anyone interested in seeing and experiencing Nagoya in a leisurely manner.

I was traveling solo and me up with my guide Tomoko. She was so knowledgeable about the whole of Nagoya and went out of her way to make sure I had the most fantastic experience.
