Very knowledgeable guide - Katie was an amazing tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and had a deep passion. We were lucky to have a private tour. The van picked us right up from our hotel with no issues.

Akitori- Non guided tour - Tour inside not that long. It took us an hour. You do not need more time than that. A guide is always helpful, but not necessary for this tour.

I text 3 more times. He did not respond once. Very sad. But our new guide was great.
