The guide was energetic and knowledgeable and showed a shining interest in showcasing his countries culture and history to new people.
We had a lovely day, with a very pleasant university student. Great kid. That said, I had hoped for more. I have previously done tour in Japan with Nationally licensed guides and there are just so much more knowledgeable and able to share more in depth information about evening in the context of Japan and History. So, despite thinking that the kid was excellent, I ultimately would not recommend this.
