    Today I toured Osaka with Meri. She was very gracious, kind and taught me a lot. I really enjoyed going to see the Osaka castle and seeing all the history. She was flexible with us when we decided to pay for taxis due to having a small child with us. She also was very sweet to my friends daughter. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Osaka for the first time.

  • Wonderful personal tour to Nara with Meri

    Our family did a private tour to Nara with Meri. Everything from our driver to our tour guide, Meri, was impeccable. Meri showed us everything we wanted to see in Nara. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go on another tour esp with Meri.
