My reviews
-
We were able to fix out own itinerary, spend more or less time to a place we visited according to what we liked and our guide was very helpful and willing to answer all out questions not only about the places we visited but also historical, about the way of life and general questions with lots of tips.

It was a fun night with a knowledgeable local. Chance to see an area which is not where tourists would usually go. Learnt about sake.

We met Kieran on New Year's Day and are grateful that he took the time away from his holiday to show us around. We met at Tokyo Station and had a very informative, fast-paced three-hour walking tour of the city's highlights. Kieran shared a lot of interesting facts about his time living in Japan and insights about the culture. We had a great conversation with him, which helped us better understand aspects of the city and its people. He took us to places we never would have visited without his guidance and shared really interesting information. This was a great experience that helped us get a depth of experience we would not have had otherwise.
