The experience with Adrian was truly wonderful. He gave us advice that perfectly reflected what we were looking for and above all we had two beautiful excursions with a guide who is truly Top, not only in doing his job but especially as a person. If we were to return to Japan, we would definitely do all the excursions with him again. Unfortunately, it's not possible to leave 10 stars, he would have deserved them all!

Adrian also accompanied us in the afternoon with this beautiful experience, taking us to discover sacred corners and especially the most youthful and fashionable side of the city. His discreet but attentive presence, his way of telling us about Tokyo transmitted a lot of curiosity. What can I say! Bravo!
