5 Stars - Exceptional Experience with Nishi in Himeji!

We had an absolutely unforgettable 2-day guided tour with Ms. Nishi N in Himeji. Our group of six, including my 85-year-old mother, was treated to a thoughtfully planned itinerary that covered Himeji Castle, its beautiful gardens, a sake brewery tasting, and some fantastic local lunch spots. Nishi’s incredible knowledge of the history and culture of Himeji brought every location to life, making the entire experience both educational and engaging. She was exceptionally kind and attentive, especially to my mother, ensuring that everything was stress-free and enjoyable for everyone. Nishi knew all the best photo spots, capturing memories we will cherish forever. Her expertise, coupled with her warm personality, made our time with her truly special. Beyond Himeji, she generously shared great recommendations for our next stop in Kyoto, even though we didn’t have a guide there. Thanks to her advice, we made the most of our visit. We can’t wait to return and will definitely be requesting Nishi’s services again when we explore more of the Hyogo, Kobe, and Himeji areas. Highly recommend!

Four days of fun with Kaori

We recently had the pleasure spending four days exploring Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara with Kaori, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met, she went above and beyond. She has a deep knowledge of Japan’s history and culture, and tailored the tour to our interests; making it both engaging and informative. Kaori was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly personable. It felt like we were exploring with a friend. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring we had a memorable experience truly sets her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Fantastic Tour Guide!

Oskar was exactly what I was looking for. His knowledge of the major sites and the local culture in general were a huge plus, as were his translation skills for this non-Spanish speaker. And, he's a really nice guy as well! I won't hesitate to hire him again on my next trip to Mexico City.
