“Our tour guide May was A-May-Zing! My husband and I had limited time to explore Tokyo. May had us seeing and doing a lot in 6 hours than we could have done on our own. Not at all in a fast pace. We also had a great lunch in a local authentic restaurant . He taught us the traditional way to enter Temples and Shrines and to pay our respects. Showing us how to get around in Japan was so helpful, we had other tourist asking him questions. My husband and I met a lifetime friend. He is the coolest tour guide we ever met. Thanks again!”
