Dublin - From Strongbow to the Georgians.

Dublin
3 hours

Dublin began life a a tiny riverside settlement. As the centuries passed it was colonised by the Vikings, the Normans and finally, the English. By the time of the Georgian era the population had risen to one hundred thousand people, who lived mostly between the boundaries of the Royal and Grand canals. The story of what happened in the centuries between the Norman invasion in 1167 and the end of the Georgian era in 1804 sets the scene for how Dublin became what it is today.

Revolutionary Dublin - 1916 to 1923.

Dublin
3 hours

Discover the part played by Dublin in Ireland's long struggle to establish an independent republic. The bloody struggle ended in the Irish Republic with the signing of the 'treaty' with the British in 1921, at the end of a particularly bloody and brutal guerilla war against the forces of the British crown. There was further bloodshed in the civil war that followed the signing of the 'treaty' but peace was established in 1923. Discover what happened on this 3 hour tour.

Memorable day at Shimizu with SAYORI San

Our family had most enjoyable, memorable day at Shimizu with Sayori San. Sayori arranged the day beyond our expectations. She accommodated all the unusual activities we requested well beyond what we requested and made last minute adjustments. Thanks a lot Sayori San.

four architects spend two weeks in Japan, 3 days in Tokyo

We had a number of buildings we wanted to see in Tokyo as part of our architectural tour. Atsuhiro research their location before we arrived and toke us to them as well as to sites he selected in a two day tour. He was prompt, efficient, and flexible in his well planned itinerary. We would certainly use him again for a similar purpose. High marks all around.

Atsuhiro M.

I am very happy to receive such a high evaluation from you. I was amazed at the aesthetic sense and knowledge of each member of your team regarding architecture and art. It was a very valuable experience for me as a guide to be able to spend two days with such intelligent people. I look forward you to visiting Japan again.
