My wife and I do our tours together. For anyone wishing to enjoy the full experiences of Japan we are perfect. I am from Canada and she is from Nara, Japan. Together we have both English and Japanese fully covered and so may take our new 'friends' on tours with complete comfort in understanding all that may come their way. Cheers Lorenzo and Chie
