We booked Makoto for a short tour of Osaka. 7 hour duration has been shortened to 5 hours due to our cruise departure at 3PM. Makoto did his best to accommodate as much as can be possible in a limited timeframe. We visited Osaka Castle and Dotonbori district where we sampled some local food (takoyaki). A visit to Umeda Sky building has been dropped. All in all it was a very good introduction to Osaka and what it could offer. Enough to make us want to visit it again in the future. I would recommend Makoto to anyone needing a quick tour of the city.
Dear Sonia, Thanks for your nice comments on my tour. I also enjoyed guiding you of Osaka. Unfortunately it was not enough time to show Osaka due to the cruise departure, and hopefully I can show you more about Osaka next time. Thanks again for your choosing me of your guide. Makoto
Lee was the perfect guide and was very accommodating with our requests from commencement time to where we did and did not want to go. Lee provided great insights on the sites and attractions we went to see as well as relevant historical information. Lee’s happy personality and humour made the tour even more enjoyable.
I was in NY for the first time attending the UNGA. I’d brought my 18 yo daughter with me to see the sights of NY. Julia did a fantastic job of introducing her to the wonders of NYC for the first time. Thanks Julia, you made her first visit to the big apple very memorable.
Thank you, Mike! We had a great time and it was a privilege to show your lovely & intelligent daughter around town!
The morning with Keiko at Tsukiji Market was fascinating due to her perfect English and extensive knowledge of the culture and cuisine. She also shares a lovely relationship with some of the shop keepers in her kind and humble way. I am forever grateful for the memories of our tour.
Kym-san, thank you very much for your wonderful review! I not only enjoyed walking with you on the tour day, but also was excited to be shared some thrilling moments during your planning for the trip, like winning in the Toyosu lottery. You have indeed planned everything into minute details, so I'm sure you have fully enjoyed all your adventures. For your next trip to Japan, please be sure to include meeting manta rays in Okinawa!
