Rina was the best Tour Guide! ⛩️ - The experience seeing Nara and Uji with Rina was incredible!! She was incredibly friendly and personable throughout the trip. On the bus she led different activities including origami and how to do Furoshiki- so you didn't even notice travel times. I would highly recommend this trip for the wonderful experience seeing beautiful parts of Japan. If Rina is your tour guide, you're sure to have a memorable trip!
