Amazing Experience with Ayaka

My tour guide, Ayaka, provided an amazing experience, which exceeded my expectations. She planned the tour exactly based on my request and provided insightful context covering history, geography, culture, and recent developments. She is very knowledgable, professional, flexible, and provided an excellent service. She is a talented individual with the right skills and an asset to your company. Thank you Ayaka. I learned quite a bit and looking forward to the future encounters. Best/Fabian

Unforgettable day in Tokyo!

As a first time traveler Tokyo was so intimidating and scary but Ayaka made my first time so memorable! She was more like a friend than a pure business type. She was so knowledgeable and kind and I could see her passion for our similar interests. It was a perfect mix of traditional and modern culture exactly as advertised. I wish I could book her again for another maid cafe experience if she was free!!!
