Tomo was the most lovely tour guide you could ask for. She was so well organised before and during the tour. We covered so many areas we were interested in, and that we never would have found without her. We give Tomo 10/10!

I booked private Cherry Blossoms Tour in Tokyo just before the main sakura trees started to bloom. Tomo communicated with me before the trip to discuss my wishes and possibilities. I really enjoyed the time spent with her walking through the nice blooming spots and having a picnic under the trees with a view of the cherry blossoms. She did the best to to meet my expectations.
