5.00We had a wonderful walking tour with Lax, who was friendly, cheerful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and kept the tour engaging with fun activities and quizzes, which my son and I really enjoyed. He was patient, kind, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout. Lax is a fantastic guide with a bright future in tourism—I’m sure he’ll do very well. Highly recommended!
Thorough all the way through

5.00Was wonderful and my guide FK was quite knowledgeable, friendly and shared info on Japanese culture n traditions which I never knew. I was expecting it to be a group tour but ended up being a private tour of only me and FK! That was awesome as we kept to my pace and questions:). FK even clicked lovely photos and videos of me .We ended the walk in the evening and could experience the quaint city with beautiful lights etc. Great experience of a lovely evening and strongly recommended!
