A big thank you to Michy for an insightful, fun and ‘local’ experience. If we ever come back to Tokyo we will organise a different tour with her
Dear David, Sue and Emmy, Thank you for giving me an excellent review. I also enjoyed the time being with all of you! I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Take care and enjoy the rest of your time in Japan! Michy
I am a travel professional that had VIP clients traveling to Japan. I was able to secure Michiko for 3 days of touring and she did FANTASTIC! I can't say enough to show my appreciation for the experience she gave to my clients. I will definitely reach out to Michiko for future clients.
Dear Hedji, Thank you very much for giving me such an excellent review. I am happy you chose me as a guide for your VIP clients. I'm looking forward to working with you in the future. I am hoping for your company's success! Michiko
Michiko was very knowledgeable and catered our itinerary to my location/preferences on the day of. I feel like I really got to know the city after travelling around with her. We visited so many major places in one day! I strongly recommend her.
Dear Chris, Thank you very much for taking the time to write and giving me an excellent review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed my tour. I hope you come back to Japan again with your beloved! Michiko
Michiko is very professional, diligent, on-time in appointments, very mindful of itineraries set, and she mindfully catered for our preferences and requirements. She is able and very willing to help. She is most valuable with the type of work she does as a private tour guide in that she is fluent in English, knowledgeable of Japan’s historical events, and very focused in her work. We would not have been able to visit the touristy and interesting places within the two days we were in Yokohama and Tokyo if Michiko was not with us. We highly recommend her. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Michiko! Cheers! Celle and Jun
Dear Celle and Jun, Oh, wow! What a nice review you gave me. Your review made me happy that I am working as a guide. I had a pleasant time with you two. I hope you will come back to Japan. Best regards, Michiko
