Japan 2025
I visited japan with my family in July 2025, I have to say our tour guide was amazing. He name is Ellie and she had the most amazing energy, she was super attentive and helped us communicate when needed. She listened to what we wanted to do and added it to the plan of the day. She recommended really good food places and guided us. More

Quinn, Kim, Kathi Adventure
Kimura was exceptional!! He was informative, knowledgeable and friendly. By the end of the tour, I had gained a new friend! The tour around Tokyo was fascinating! I learned so much about Japanese history and culture. I also learned about the public transportation system, which was very helpful when we were on our own the next day! More
