Very intelligent and knowledgeable, young person, well-versed in Japanese history and art history, personable, conversation rarely lagged, and it was very obvious to me at multiple points along the way that there is no way I would’ve been able to do what I did and see what I saw today without his help

The guided tour to Nico with Angel was as stimulating, educational, and diverse in subject matter as you could want. Angel was engaged in informative dialogue that touched profoundly on a wide range of topics and issues relevant to appreciating Nikko in a broad horizon and context. The tour with Angel was an example of impactful teaching at its best. We are very grateful that we booked this tour.

Rafael is one of the best tour guides I’ve had and I don’t say that lightly from someone who travels for a living. Not only did we learn so much about Japan, its culture, history and people we thoroughly enjoyed his attentive and caring company. Consider yourself lucky and blessed to have Rafa be your guide.
