Excellent experience - Maria was an excellent guide. She is not Japanese herself and that makes her point out things that are especially interesting to foreigners. She is absolutely lovely and adjusted to our needs and wants. We would very much recommend a tour with her! We loved it!

- Our tour guide Mayura was excellent! Very friendly, great locations, and very informative. We really enjoyed the explanation for how to approach shrines and make a prayer. It was a great value for a private tour! We brought a toddler and the walk was easy.

Walking Osaka tour - We had a short stop in Osaka on our way back to Tokyo from Kyoto and wanted to see some of the city. We met up with Maria and took off. She was amazing! Great personality, full of knowledge and crazy about her city. We hit a lot of sites in a very short time and got to see several districts. Booking was smooth and simple. Maria reached out right away to start planning the tour with our interests in mind. I would def recommend this tour and Maria to everyone!
