The tour was everything I wanted. Daniel was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our small children. It was great having someone who knew where they were going, explain what we were looking at and all about Japanese culture and history. It was so much better than walking around following our phone directions and looking at Google lenses. We didn't make it to everything on our itinerary, but that was expected with our small kids. We weren't in a hurry and weren't rushed. A great tour. Thank you Daniel!
