Una experiència excelente. Va mucho más allá del parque, explicando muchos detalles de los barrios alrededor. Ignacio lleva años viviendo en Japón y le encanta hablar del estilo de vida del país. Gracias!

Excelente experiencia para tener un primer acercamiento a la ciudad de Tokio y su historia. Realmente nos sorprendió el tour brindado y además, se extendió en el horario por los consejos, información y lo ameno y natural del mismo. Súper recomendable. Ignacio muy profesional y cálido también compartiéndonos todo. 🙏🙏🙏
