What Is a Private Taxi Tour with a Licensed Guide in Japan Like? A Guide's Report
As soon as we met, the guests asked me whether there might be a better itinerary, which caught me off guard, since the itinerary had been decided based on the guests' own requests. When I asked where they would like to go, they simply said they wanted my recommendations. Since there was nothing else in particular they wished to change, we agreed to proceed with the planned itinerary and started the tour. As using the subway would be difficult, we decided to travel around by taxi. The guests were very interested in Japan and asked many questions. Some questions were difficult to answer, but I was glad to see their strong interest in Japan, and it made guiding truly rewarding. It was a lovely group, and it was a pleasure to guide them.
