"We had a lovely tour with Koki as he was able to provide activities for a wide range of ages and abilities and even those of us who have visited before found new things to learn.
I would always recommend a tour with a local a a way of getting to grips with a new place and a different culture."
"Koki is een vriendelijke en goede gids maar daarnaast is het een fantastische kerel om een middag mee op te trekken. Hij is zelf ook bereist en snapt ook onze Nederlandse manier van doen. Heel fijn dat hij onze gids was in de foodtour in Takayama. Lekkere hapjes en drankjes geproeft. Goede uitleg en zijn Engels is perfect en goed te verstaan. Wij zouden hem zeker aanraden als gids."
"We loved learning about the area with Koki. He was knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our time with him and learning from him. He taught us so much about the town and the area. Highly recommend!"
