We had a great time with our two guides. They were very knowledgeable, well spoken and had historical information you otherwise would not hear about! We felt well taken care of, they were very concerned about our well being with high heat! We visited the war memorial, tried some yummy local cuisine , a temple and turned a special request for my wife into finding the perfect purchase we were looking for!

Our day with Rin was wonderful!!! We got out to the terminal early and she was able to meet us earlier. She was very flexible in our itinerary when it got very hot and my family wanted to get some food and do some shopping after the memorial park. She always made sure we were okay.
