“ We enjoyed two extraordinary tours with Yukiko! ”

Yukiko is an exceptional tour guide! She is knowledgeable, kind, caring, extremely flexible, and truly responsive. She seamlessly navigates both Tokyo and Kamakura. The cultural sites and experiences, as well as the restaurants, are extraordinary. In addition, she meets the specific wishes and needs of all family members, including offering pre-planned breaks for seniors and pre-planned cultural activities for young children. She also takes amazing photos. Overall, if you want to learn, laugh, play, eat, and leave the tour having grown in knowledge and understanding of Japan - then we highly recommend Yukiko. She is an absolute delight and we look forward to returning to Japan, and enjoying tours to Yokohama and Hakone with Yukiko. Thank you, Yukiko!

“ Great Full-Day private tour of Busan with Changwoo! Wow! ”

We can only recommend Changwoo. We had an amazing day with him visiting Busan and learning about the city and the country. Changwoo connected with us in advance of our arrival to inquire as to our preferences and created a truly customized visit of the city, including taking us to a very local (and very good) restaurant, introducing us to the delicacies of South Korea. It was an amzying day, thanks to Changwoo.

Changwoo Y.

Thank you for kind review. I really enjoyed the day with you too. Hopefully we can see each other in near future. Maybe I will visit Quebec for real poutine one day :) Thank you again Joelle.
