5.00One of the best tours I've ever done. Mao was super friendly, gave us a lot of helpful information not only about the places visited but also Japan in general. In the end she gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant. The tour was super planned and not too rushed. You had plenty of time everywhere. We would recommend the tour to anyone. Thank you Mao

5.00Mao was an incredible tour guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and that the tour went as planned. Her knowledge of Japanese history was amazing! She taught us so much everywhere we went! She answered our questions and made sure we got snacks and food at our stops. We were so impressed with her kindness and care for us. We loved every minute of tour! Thank you, Mao!
