Best of Wicklow was a nice day in the country. Dairine was informative engaging and extremely open on the history of the area Her knowledge extended beyond history to the local plants wild life and geography She has deep roots in the local area dating back multiple generations of farming Highlight of our trip to Ireland
We so enjoyed our day in Tangier with Rababe. She was on time when she met us at the port & her English was amazing. We toured the old town & markets, had lunch & learned to make chicken pastilla at her home. Rababe is gracious, informative & a great ambassador of Tangier & Morocco. No pressure selling or carpet store tours as is common with guides. Don’t hesitate to book with Rababe & you will always have a friend here with a kind heart.
We had a fantastic time. Our driver arrived right on time. While his English was limited, he tried very hard, and we managed to communicate effectively anyway. We saw the places agreed and never felt rushed. We sensed a great sense of pride on his part in ensuring foreigners enjoy their time in the Hakone area. Would definitely hire him again.
Hiromi gave us really helpful directions to our meeting place prior to the tour, as well as other places we might like. She was really attentive toward our interests and preferences, having prepared small gifts for us upon meeting us and arranging for various foods to be picked up ahead of time which was very much appreciated. She couldn’t have made our experience any more comfortable, constantly making sure we’re doing alright (it was a scorching day, 35 degrees with harsh sun I believe). She acquired us local food and drinks at the market so we didn’t have to queue such as wagyu sushi, green tea and local snacks. She took us to the market at the perfect time to witness a ginormous tuna being filleted and prepared which was a spectacle. We finished off with a delicious tuna sashimi bowl she organised beforehand which couldn’t have been fresher or tastier. She’s super knowledgeable about Japanese culture and local history of Tsukiji which was fun to talk with her about. There’s no way you won’t be looked after with Hiromi, she’s a perfect guide for a first-time Tokyo visitor who wants to branch off and see a vibrant street market. Bubbly, eager and attentive. Such a kind person, we need more Hiromis in the world!
Dear Tom sama and his lovely family, Thank you for choosing to visit Tsukiji despite the sweltering heat and for entrusting me with the role of your guide. While the United Kingdom may not require air conditioning, Tsukiji felt like a tropical island. I imagine the long journey must have been exhausting. Again, thank you for choosing to spend a precious part of your lives in Japan. Your graciousness and respect for Japanese culture and people were truly admirable. I was deeply impressed by your composure, keen observations, thoughtful remarks, and the wonderful vision you have for the future. I sincerely hope that your trip to Japan has provided valuable inspiration for you and your family. How did you find the food? Britain offers a delightful culinary experience, with delicacies such as Yorkshire pudding, which your sister lovingly prepares for her charming boyfriend, and the ever-popular fish and chips. I'm glad that you enjoyed a variety of Japanese local cuisine. Japan, emerging onto the global stage at the end of the 19th century, formed its first alliance with Britain. Since then, we have been greatly influenced by British ethics and morality, which have played a significant role in shaping Japanese society. We continue to aspire to learn more from Britain. I sincerely wish for the continued prosperity and happiness for all of you. Please remember that the gods of Tsukiji are always rooting for your happiness and success. May all your dreams come true! Words cannot fully express my gratitude for your visit. May all good things come your way... Thank you very much. Warmest regards, Hiromi
