What Our Customers Say
Best Day We Had in Japan!
In our 11-day Japan tour, we had six guides, but no one could even be placed in the vicinity of Nozomi Kondo. Her extensive knowledge, personal charm, natural tact, and very good English made our Kanazawa visit more memorable than other Japanese cities with more attractions and history. She is fantastic!!!
