Michael and his associate were fantastic tour guides. They drove us all over Tokyo, were very patient and informative. We like we saw a wide variety of Tokyo landmarks. They even helped me buy our JR train tickets at Tokyo Central train station. I highly recommend this tour and Michael as a tour guide!!!!

Osaka Castle - its history is complex, its beauty is obvious and its meaning to the history of Osaka is obvious. It’s been on my “must see” for many years.
