We loved Fumiko! She was very nice and so patient. We saw the castle, the longest shopping street in the world and wonderful street food.

Haruhi gave us a wonderful introduction to "Japan's Kitchen" on our recent trip to Osaka. Our afternoon was well planned offering us chances to sample several of Osaka's most interesting specialty flavors while enjoying the street scene that makes this city unique. Pace was perfectly casual.....and flexible enough for us to stop as we wished. Haruhi is an absolute delight to be with. Eat as much as or little as you like...and enjoy every morsel. We did!!!

At a casual pace, Haruhi introduced us to a delicious variety of specialty foods as we walked thru Kuromon Market and around Namba, Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi areas. It was a great introduction to the city.

Alex was a fantastic tour guide who we greatly enjoyed as our leader around Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable of the historical significance of many parts of the city, and he also provided us with access to hidden gems that we would have not uncovered on our own. He planned a perfect day around Kyoto with visits to all the spots on our list.
