Marion was our fabulous guide. She took us (family of 5, 3 children under 12) to places we would not have found without her. The tour was both fun and informative. We will all get a lot more out of our trip to Japan for having done the tour. Thank you Marion and Context.
Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Susan was knowledgeable and friendly and catered to exactly what we were looking for. By the end of the tour I felt like I had known her for years.
