Fun and knowledgeable tour guide

Bonnie took us for a full day around Takayama and Shirakawa-Go. Even though it was a rainy day out, she remained vivacious, engaging and switched-on the whole time. She was well-prepared and knowledgeable about the areas she brought us too, and her passion for her adopted home really shone through the whole time. She even took us to her favourite retail spots for some shopping of local craftsmen wares which really capped off a marvellous day.

Bonnie C.

Thanks for joining my tour. I am so happy to guide you and your friend as you two are my first guests after 3 years. I am glad that you enjoyed the time regardless of the weather and I hope to guide you all again in the future! Take care, Bonnie

Absolutely wonderful experience with Bonnie

My 24 year old son and I spent a wonderful day with Bonnie in Takayama and Shirakawago! Bonnie is super-friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and fluent in both English and Chinese. She was flexible and went above and beyond to help us with things like making dinner reservations in the next town we were going to. I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough- I wish she were our guide throughout our trip!!

Bonnie C.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I am glad that you like the tour arrangement and also the tour. It is a enjoyable day with your family. I hope you and your son enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any help in Japan! Hope that we can meet again in the future! Wish you and your family all the best!
