Amazing tour!

We had a wonderful experience touring old town Takayama with Luca! He was very knowledgeable and well-versed in the history, as well as all the little details that make a tour fun. Also, there wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to. 100% recommend!

A joyful snapshot of Takayama

The walk with Luca as our guide was a highlight of our trip to Takayama. We walked through the old town and learned the complex history of the area. Luca was a dream guide, giving us tips on what to visit and where to eat. A joy. Highly recommended.

Super interesting and informative virtual tour!

The tour was really interesting and informative and the host was great! Luca showed us around a section of Takayama and told us about the history of the town and lots of other interesting facts. I wish we could do a tour in person, but this virtual tour was just as good.

SUPERB EXPERIENCE

The tour was super informative and easy to understand so you can understand the town Takayama and makes it so much more appealing to visit. Also, Luca is very professional in his explanation and knowledgeable! I recommend this tour. Thanks Luca! (It's an online tour)

Perfect Choice! Luca is brilliant

Luca has lived in Japan for many years and knows a lot about many things. I was able to discover places otherwise I wouldn't, staying comfortably at home while he was fighting with rain and wind to show me Takayama. He is well prepared well and passionate, he knows what is he talking about. During the tour, which has a very affordable price, he gave me an exposition of the main historical aspects of the city, telling how politics and the commerce had a remarkable role in the history of the city. I recommend Luca because otherwise you risk losing important knowledge. Instead with him you can understand certain picturesque or historical aspects, such as the shape of the houses or why this relatively small town deserves your attention and plays an important role in Japan history. A tour that is not a postcard but takes you to an authentic, very interesting place.

Experience Japan Online ! From your living room. Great Idea in times of Covid 19 (and after!)

A great online tour of the famous old town in Takayama, Japan. The tour guide Luca shows you around, tells you about the history of the town and Japan and, of course, answers all your questions! He‘s a very friendly and knowledgable guy who speaks English, Italian and Japanese. The picturesque old town is amazing ! He‘ll also show you some sake breweries and the place where the huge ‚floats‘ are kept for the Takayama festival twice a year. On request he can also show you the famous Hida village in an extended tour. Anyway I had a very interesting and fun Online tour (the first one for me) of an original (not rebuilt !!) jap. Old town from the comfort of my home ! I absolutely recommend the tour AND the guide !!

Fun virtual tour of Takayama with fantastic tour guide!

A window to Japan from the comfort of your living room sofa! Thank you, Luca, we truly enjoyed the tour and are left feeling inspired. Together with our tour guide, we walked through the old town of the city, learned about Sake and even got a glimpse of some of the historic floats used in parades. Luca was so personable, took his time to answer all of our questions and had a really great sense of humor. The virtual experience exceeded our expectations. It was engaging, educational and entertaining. Definitely worth doing.

Discovering Takayama

The guide was very, very friendly and friendly. And it extended longer than the tour to complete his explanations. The tour is recommended. Even if it had been longer, despite the cold, I wouldn't have cared
