Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both the palace gardens and Japanese history and culture. As a Canadian, he was able to explain aspects of Japan that are different than North America. He was also incredibly helpful with assisting tour participants with planning how to get to their their next destination. I highly recommend him!

Our guide Brendan was super friendly and knowledgeable. He even took the time to give us some good tips on where to go after. It was definitely worth it to learn more about Japanese history and culture. Would recommend.
