“ Tokyo Illuminations Tour ”
Our tour with Yu was excellent. She planned a great itinerary showing off the lights and she knew the city so well taking us along shortcuts to quickly get from A to B. Yu spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. At the end of the tour she was so lovely that she gave us a little gift with a handmade Christmas card which included a handmade origami tree inside. Thanks Yu.
Hi, Fiona. Thank you for your joining Tokyo illumination tour last night. And I really appreciate your nice comment! i'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed seeing towns with beautiful lights. I was so happy to be with you. Thank you so much! Yu
“ The important sights in Tokyo with Yu ”
Yu is a very good guide, she speaks fluent english, and is a very pleasant person to spend a day with. Very reccomended guide !
Hi, Vivi and Yosi. I truly appreciate your nice review. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed Tokyo. We were so lucky with the weather and crowd, weren't we? I wish a pleasant journey to you! Thank you again.
“ Nice Day In Kamakura ”
We were a little late arriving at the train station, however, Yu was a trooper and stuck around for our arrival. It was very easy to find her as she had a sign with my name raised high above her head. Yu had hand drawn a cute map outlining our day trip. We visited a couple of temples, the bamboo garden and the Great Buddha. Yu was very knowledgeable of the history of each site visited. Yu was very patient as we slowed down the tour as we stopped many times to take pictures. I would definitely take another tour with Yu.
Dear Ed Hello. Thank you for your sweet review about our tour. I’d like to express my gratitude for your kindness. I'm glad that you like Kamakura. I was very happy with you and your sister, Charlene. And I enjoyed talking with you about your country, works and friend. Thank you so much! Japan has many faces depends on the season, so I hope you will visit Japan again in the near future! Please say my best regards to Charlene, too. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Yu
“ Great guide ”
Had a great time traveling with Yu for two days. Walked a lot, saw a lot. She focused on customizing my tour for the things I like the most—stationery and kitchenware stores. She was very attentive to my needs and concerned about my comfort. Would recommend her to anyone interested in a very thoughtful and kind guide.
Dear Kathy I really appreciate your sweet review ! I ’d like to express my gratitude for your joining my tour. I 'm glad that you enjoyed seeing and shopping in Tokyo for two days. I was so happy with you. I hope your family and friends like Japanese souvenirs. And I hope you will visit Japan again in the near future. Thank you so much ! Sincerely, Yu
“ Fantastic evening tour ”
Spent over four hours covering the highlights o f Tokyo at night. Yu did a great job. She was fun and full of energy, showing us everything she promised. Due to the crowds from Golden Week, we had to hustle to cover everything, but since she knew the areas so well we had little difficulty. What I liked most was her effort to contact us before the trip and make sure we knew what was to be included, we covered what we wanted to see, and we knew how much walking was involved. There were no unwanted surprises. Her English was very good, well above the level of many other English speaking guides used on group tours. Thanks for a great time.
Dear Larry and Betsy Hello! Thank you so much for your kind message! I’m very happy to know you enjoyed our tour, because I was concerned about a long walk in the holiday crowds. I had a beautiful time with you, too! I was glad to show you a fantastic Tokyo’s night, and also had a great time to talk with you about our family, hometown and your trip all over Japan. I was so happy to see you! Please come to Japan again. Thank you. Sincerely, Yu
