I just completed a 3-day tour of Japan with Leandra and it was an absolute dream! She was awesome, making every moment count in a very tight schedule. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the tranquil temples of Kyoto and the scenic beauty of Osaka, the itinerary was perfectly planned and executed. Day 1 started in Tokyo, where Leandra skillfully balanced modern landmarks with historical traditional spots all the while providing fascinating insights, snippets of history and intrigue and making the city’s energy and history come alive. You’ll have to ask her to take you to the Ninja bar, had an absolute blast there in the evening. Day 2 we went hiking in the mountains to enjoy relaxing hot springs and stunning views of Mt. Fuji. Our guide’s attention to detail, from smooth transportation to insightful recommendations, plus lots of encouragement to get me moving in the trails made everything seamless. Leandra really shines in the mountains and on trails and if you have the energy you will have an absolute blast in the mountains trekking with her. Day 3 was spent in Kyoto and Osaka, where we explored the magical Shrines, bamboo forest, the Osaka castle and the bustling streets of Osaka. Leandra’s knowledge of the history and cultural significance added really depth to each stop. Overall, Leandras expertise, passion and historical knowledge, not to mention bubbly personality and fun factor really transformed my very quick trip into an unforgettable experience and I will definitely use her again on my next trip here. Leandra was not a guide as such but more like a very good friend showing me the best her country has to offer and she really loves what she does. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Japan in a short, or long time time, especially if you want the hidden gems and back streets away from the tourist traps, with a considerate, flexible and very friendly bubbly guide.
We had a great time with Mark he took us to the most important places in the one day we had available in Tokio we even went to a budist ceremonial which was very powerful
Me and my friends greatly enjoyed the evening spent with Mai as she introduced us to Sendai and her favourite places. What to do, where to go, of course which sake to try and little things here and there - I'm very grateful for the time spent together and the additional insights she gave us. It wasn't our first time in Japan, but a first in Tohoku and for that I highly recommend to meet up with Mai if you're looking for good company ️:)
Shovkat was polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It is not surprising given his history that he has an academic’s knowledge of the sites he will take you to. His English is excellent and he studied for a time in London. His German is better, he told me, and Shovkat also speaks Russian. Go with this guide!
