A great afternoon with interesting finds - Miki is awesome! When you go on a tour with her, it feels like you are exploring delightful but often missed shops and eateries with your "auntie". In addition to being kind, she is informative and helpful. I lucked out by having a wonderful group but I'm sure every tour with Miki is great.

A Great Excursion for History Fun and Treats - I we took this tour on a rainy day and Miki our guidemade the sunshine. She was knowledgeable and brought thr history to life. We sampled freshly made rice crackers/oh what a trip and many other treats that were made fresh daily in breaks the shops. I especially liked the history and the story of the 7 Buddahs and my favorite Buddah Happy not to mention the tops she shared tips on how to appropriately show your respect at the Buddahs. If you're into paper making you will love how the washi paper is made and what a delight to purchase. There was a lot we saw a d o could go on and on but my advice if you have the time it was a great way to do spend a. Afternoon and learn about some of the culture and history of Japan.All in all it was a fun afternoon.

Definitely one for the scrapbooks!!! - Mihoko was such a gem of a tour guide!! She was kind, extremely knowledgeable, and really patient with us!! She showed us so many places and taught us the way to pay our respects and pray at a shrine. We had such a good time thanks to her. 🤍

Tokyo Walking Tour - Mr. Suzuki is fantastic! I cannot recommend him enough. His English is excellent, he works with your interests, and the same time he makes sure you get a true Japanese Experience. He was kind enough to make suggestions for other days . He made my short time in Tokyo absolutely worth it. I gave him a 5 starts rating.

Shopping in Tokyo - Our guide was very sweet and she tried to communicate. However, her English was very slow which was a problem. We were not clear about the shopping part, only tasting. However, she was able to take us to a jewelry district not on the schedule.
