Laura was terrific: knowledgeable, with a genuine historical understanding and the ability to convey information as well as interpretation, and to respond to our queries with substantive answers. She was poised and took our initial challenge (that we were three retired research-university professors) with good humor and even humility. We were entirely pleased with the tour and would recommend our guide with warmth and enthusiasm.
Our guide Fabien was amazing. He was so personable and easy to get along with. Very knowledgeable and eager to share the history of Japan. He made this trip to Japan so fun. Thank you so very much.
