Honestly the best - I had an absolutely wonderful experience, and Sofia truly stood out as an incredible Guide throughout the day. Her warmth and attentiveness made everything so much more enjoyable. Whether it was her helpful insights, her knack for making everyone feel at ease, or her willingness to go the extra mile, she was a crucial part of what made the time we spent together so memorable.

Zen - Gabriele, was a valuable guide, he was able to transmit to us all the essence and spirituality of Zen Buddhist monasteries, the small Shinto monastery, the bamboo forest. We also went to the monkey park, a nice walk to climb, but worth it for the view. A big thank you! Claudia, Nicola, Sveva and Olivia.
