Amazing - Yuuki was great! Very good with explaining the information and he was very personable. This my first time in Japan and learning about the culture always was a goal of mine when I came. He helped me get towards the goal even more after the tour. Well done Yuuki will come back again and recommend to anyone doing the tour!

Beautiful and peaceful - Another great tour & experience. I lucked out again because I got another private tour. This time was with Keiko. What a pleasure she is. We made good friends! The tour was wonderful. I love the long walk through the trees-so peaceful and beautiful. Keiko taught me a lot about the history and culture of Japan. Love seeing the magnificent shrine. Thank you!
