Niigata is not a city with dozens of attractions like Kyoto. Therefore, the tour was essential for exploring the city and discovering interesting things to see. The guide spoke fluent English, was very friendly, and also knew how to introduce delicious local culinary specialties.

Mutsuko was lovely. We spent some time putting together our preferred itinerary before our trip and she even took the trouble to do a video call with me to make sure everything was OK. we had a lovely day, seeing everything we wanted to at a leisurely pace. Her English was fantastic and her knowledge was very good. I can highly recommend her as a tour guide
