Great tour with Loc! - Loc gave us a great introduction to Senso Ji and Asakusa. He shared his personal experiences, reflections on the culture, food, the temple area and design. He patiently explained the differences between Shinto, Buddhism, the temples and shrines and we loved taking part in the various rituals (incense, water, prayer and fortunes). Loc was friendly and personable and a great tour guide for our young family, highly recommend!
