Kauro was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and considerate of my choices of destinations to visit. We did a lot of subway travel and she was great in getting us where I wanted to go and navigating the underground transportation systems. A very kind and helpful guide. Highly recommended her. I booked her for two days, one four hour day followed by a six hour day. Saw everything I wanted to see in a short time.

Our guide, Kaoru-san, was very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and respectful. We felt like she adapted to our interests as the tour progressed. She also communicated very well in advance and right up to our meeting time and location. We learned some interesting facts and felt that she was very sincere in teaching us about her culture.
