Felt like being guided by a family friend through the streets of Asakusa - She was absolutely fantastic! Perhaps one of the best guides we’ve ever had on a trip like this and we travel a lot. She structured the trip with the perfect balance of history, fun and insider info. And she was so thoughtful and anticipatory of our needs and questions - felt like being guided by a long time family friend through a new city.

Asakusa Visit - Travel with William went well. Got to visit the Buddhist temple. Saw a wedding ceremony and a samurai ceremony. Together. Asakusa shopping is amazing. You can buy all kinds of things and there are tons of places to eat. This is a great way to get to know the Japanese people.

Wonderful tour - My family had a great time with Sheilina. She was extremely knowledgeable and knew what my kids would like and understand! She showed us the best shops and restaurants, explained the history of the area and was lovely to spend time with. The Asakusa tour included everything we hoped to see. I highly recommend this tour with Sheilina!
