Since I was traveled with kind consideration in foreign countries and had a wonderful time every countries.
So this is the time in my turn to help foreign tourists enjoy their stay and make them wonderful time in my counrty.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo Japan !!
My family experienced a wonderful two days with Atsuko, who went out of her way to show us all the sights of Tokyo as efficiently as possible. Despite the extreme heat, we had a wonderful time which was only made possible because of Atsuko. Thank you so much and I thoroughly recommend for any English speaking tourists.
Thank you for taking time to write me such a wonderful review David. I'm glad that you enjoyed my tour. It was extremely hot days however t had a great time with you and your family. I enjoyed lovely talking with your boys and your father. I hope you have a fantastic journey in Japan!
Atsuko took us on an amazing customized tour of Tokyo... First...it was the Micro Pig cafe in Harajuku. My wife and daughter had a wonderful time and really appreciate that we could experience this, since it is usually sold out 2 months in advance. Atsuko's help to book this venue and knowledge of this was extremely helpful. We would never have thought of this on our own. Second...taking my daughter to Anime cafe. Atsuko's knowledge of Anime was a pleasant surprise and she was able to take my daughter on a solo tour that matched her interests. Third...Hoppy Street tour. We went for a walk on a side street of Asakusa that is famous for cheap old-fashioned taverns, called izakaya. It was unknown to us and we would never have thought of going there without her vast knowledge of the area. Fourth...drop off at Asakusa pier for the water bus...Atsuko was gracious enough to escort us to our ride back to Odaiba. She was with us every step of the way and I can't even review all of the details since this review would be too long. In summary...my family really appreciated Atsuko's knowledge and patience while taking us on this tour and she is really one of the best tour guides in the business and well worth booking her just on her organizational skills and knowledge alone. Thank you so much Atsuko!
Thank you for taking time to write me such a fantastic review William! I'm so glad that you enjoyed my tour. It was fun to talk with Sachiko san and Kana cyan and of course you. Also sachiko sans sister and Ryo kun they are so nice and funny. You have a happy family. I really appreciate your wonderful review it's too much for me. Hope to see you again. Please take care!
Atsuko was a wonderful guide. My daughter instantly loved her and wanted to sit next to her on our modes of transportation (which she expertly guided us on as a family of 3 with an almost 5 year old). Atsuko was open to my additional suggestions on our tour and even went above and beyond to make a reservation for us at the end where we were having trouble (this was after our tour!) - she did that purely out of kindness. I can't say enough good things about Atsuko! Thank you!!!
Thank you for taking time to write me such a wonderful review Kimberly! I'm so glad that you enjoyed my tour. It was fun day with your family. Your daughter is adorable! I'm sorry to hear you got trouble after the tour. I wish I could do anything for you. I hope you had a great time in Japan include Okinawa Ishigaki island.
Warm and wonderful Atsuko! Thank you so much for showing us sites on our first day in Tokyo. Despite the hot weather and jet lag, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was a great “orientation” to a few Tokyo highlights. You have a nice balance of sharing interesting information, showing us sites and always thoughtfully answering our sometimes-silly questions. We will fondly remember your tour and look forward to returning.
Thank you very much for the kindest review Mark! It was a pleasant and memorable meeting with you and your family and your long time friends. I hope you had a wonderful time in Japan. I would like to talk more with you and your family about New Zealand and other countries and I like amusing questions. Hope to see you someday again.
