Paulina was our guide. She was knowledgeable, interesting, and the overall experience at the start of our Japan visit was very very helpful in acquainting ourselves with the Japanese culture. I highly recommend this tour, and especially with Paulina!

Ich hatte das große Glück Mei als meinen Guide zu haben. Sie wusste sehr viel über die Gegend und die Orte die wir besichtigt haben. Da ich der einzige Teilnehmer war konnte sie super auf meine Fragen und Wünsche eingehen. Sie war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Mit Mei würde ich sofort wieder eine Tour buchen.

Very kind and insightful guide who cares about her neighborhood. It was fun roaming the area and learning about the shrines and religion. She even walked us to a local restaurant she recommended after the tour.
