Francine una guía estupenda nos enseñó muchos datos interesantes que no conocíamos sobre el Japón, sobre su idiosincrasia y costumbres tan diferentes a la occidental. Nos ilustró sobre el santuario Meiji , su origen y su razón de ser . Muchas gracias Francine por tus valiosas enseñanzas. Gracias por tu amabilidad y buena actitud hacia el grupo.

Nil fue un guía fabuloso! Nos contó muchos datos, tanto históricos como curiosidades, y nos hizo el tour muy interesante. El lugar merece la pena por sí solo pero si llevas a alguien que te meta en contexto tan fácilmente es aún mejor. Mil gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

Nil was a fantastic guide! He shared so many interesting facts and historical tidbits, making the tour incredibly engaging. The place is worth visiting on its own, but having someone who can so easily provide context makes it even better. Thank you so much! Opinion translated. Show original.

Hice el free tour por el Santuario Meiji y el Parque Yoyogi y fue una experiencia hermosa. El guía explicó todo con mucha claridad y logró que el recorrido fuera muy disfrutable de principio a fin. Me encantó cómo transmitió el significado del santuario, sus rituales y la conexión con la naturaleza del entorno. Un paseo ideal para frenar, aprender y apreciar otra cara de Tokio. Ese parque inmenso en el medio de esa gran ciudad es impresionante! Muy recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

I took the free walking tour of Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park, and it was a wonderful experience. The guide explained everything very clearly and made the tour enjoyable from beginning to end. I loved how he conveyed the meaning of the shrine, its rituals, and the connection with the surrounding nature. It was the perfect way to slow down, learn, and appreciate another side of Tokyo. That immense park in the middle of such a big city is breathtaking! Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Beatriz ha hecho una muy buena explicación del recorrido. Se nota que le gusta mucho lo que cuenta sobre Japón y su historia. Además, ha dado algunos consejos prácticos sobre la cultura popular, costumbres y comportamientos sociales típicos en santuarios (rituales, que se puede hacer y que no). ¡Muy recomendable!

Fue una experiencia magnífica, al pasear por el precioso bosque que rodea al Templo Meiji, donde hubo dos celebraciones ese mismo día: una boda y un bautizo; lo que añadió un encanto especial a la visita, guiada por Beatriz, con la que tuvimos la inmensa suerte de coincidir, pues nos guió una semana antes en un Free tour por Shibuya. Muy interesantes los abundantes datos históricos y culturales que nos transmitió Bea. Una excelente profesional que enriquece las visitas guiadas por ella. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a magnificent experience, strolling through the beautiful forest surrounding Meiji Shrine, where two celebrations were taking place that same day: a wedding and a christening. This added a special charm to the visit, guided by Beatriz, whom we were incredibly lucky to meet, as she had led us on a free walking tour of Shibuya a week earlier. The wealth of historical and cultural information that Bea shared with us was fascinating. She is an excellent professional who enriches her guided tours. Opinion translated. Show original.
