Maria was my guide and she was excellent. She is a very highly educated person and very knowledgeable and with a very broad general culture. She does only explains the sites but also the little things, certain details and in particular their meaning and background. I did not only learn about the places we visited but also a lot of interesting things about life in Okinawa. Maria has such a broad cultural knowledge that she does not need to stick to a script. That makes the tour a very interactive and joyfull experience. Thank you / P.

We were VERY happy with our tour. From the time I booked it, the communication was excellent. Which is important. They made it very easy. Our guide Maria was OUTSTANDING! Very personalble, knowledgeable, and professional. She made it a great day. Adding an extra stop at a bakery was a plus. I'd highly recommend this tour. We saw things in Okinawa we couldn't find on our own. Learned a lot.

This was a fantastic experience. We were able to see places we would not have known about without the guide. The e-bikes were great and our guide gave us great directions on how to navigate with traffic. Highly recommend this tour!
