Comments from guests
  • - My dear friend Michiko,

    For years I had dreamed of visiting Japan and experiencing "the land of the rising sun" but I never imagined that my visit would be as incredible as it was all due to your guidance. As a writer and doctor, I have been allowed the freedom to travel to many places in the world including Tibet and Egypt but the trip to Tokyo with you as my guide at least equaled if not topped them all. Your knowledge of Japanese history and culture thoroughly impressed me and never at any time did I feel in the least helpless or confused. You are so detail-oriented that all bases were covered from meeting me at the hotel before the appointed time, to helping me through crowded subway stations, advising me on items I wished to purchase from various vendors in the markets to that incredible lunch of an excellent sampling of assorted Japanese dishes. The fact that you even returned change to me proved your high standards even to the point of walking me all the way to security at the airport with more than enough time to catch my flight.

    Lady I will always remember this trip and will recommend you to all of my friends and associates. Not only are you a professional but a very nice person to be around and I know you will become synonymous with being the top guide in Japan. Thank you so much and I look forward to my next tour with you. Take care,
