Our family of 5 (3 kids aged 12, 15 and 17) adored our 2.5 days with Shinya. He was highly knowledgeable, kind, patient, easy to get along with and a pleasure to learn from. We could not recommend him more and plan to let our friends back home know that he is an ideal guide if ever in Tokyo!
Candace, Thank you so much for your review. I could not be more pleased with this excellent review. It was very good for me to know you and your family. I look forward to seeing you and your family again in Japan or in the U.S.A.!
Our tour with Shinya was great from start to finish. He made superb choices in what buildings to show us. I addition to famous landmarks, he covered some of his personal favorites. He has a deep love for the city and knowledge about it that was reflected in the tour. It was an excellent introduction to the city. We also appreciated that he communicated with us frequently about the pace and asked for our input.
