Takamatsu Half-Day Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide

Mari provided an excellent tour for us. She put a lot of thought into her preparation and commicated with me prior to the tour to determine our interests. We were very pleased.

It was wonderful to have such a personalized tour & we were able to walk through the beautiful Takamatsu Castle with indepth explanation of history and culture. We even stopped to have lunch at a famous noodle shop that makes/teaches how to make the famous Sanuki noodles.

Mari was a fantastic guide. Before the trip she sent us an itinerary for our consideration and took careful account of our interests and wishes. She pre-booked everything so the day ran extremely smoothly. Mari is extremely knowledgeable about the art and architecture of the city and took us to some fabulous sights. She also gave us a wonderful tour of the beautiful Ritsurin Gardens which exceeded expectations. Takamatsu is a beautiful city and we both felt we gained so much more from our trip because of Mari’s expert knowledge. After the tour was over, Mari sent me lots of recommendations with detailed timings to help us plan a trip to the nearby islands. She really did go over and beyond, super helpful and so nice! Thank you Mari for a wonderful day, we thoroughly recommend you!

The lunch at the Guest House where Einstein stayed and seeing his rooms was a treat. We also enjoyed the railway museum - neither experience was mentioned in our guidebook so we really appreciated that our guide included them.

My husband, son and his girlfriend and cousin toured Takamatsu with Mika and we had an excellent time with her. Mika reached out via email when I booked the tour and was was very helpful in planning the day and taking care of all our requests. She went out of her way to take care of us. My husband lost his wallet at our last stop and Mika called the ticket office. They had it and and she and I ran back to pick it up! She was terrific.

Reiko was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, kind, funny. We had a great day together in Takematsu visiting the castle and the gardens. She took us to a great udon noodle place for delicious lunch!

I had a great experience while visiting Takayama with Lily (Yuriko) as a guide. Her English was very good which helped understand the background of each place we visited and she answered all my questions really well. She organized the places to visit in the right order so that I could also enjoy a walk by the river and street market. Thanks Lily for an enjoyable day full of history and great places in Takayama.
