Terrific guide! - Jino was a terrific guide! He was on time, had great information and a great sense of humor. Jino went the extra mile at every step. Showing us SO many areas that we were interested in. He found a terrific place to have lunch and even cooked our meal. When we returned to our hotel, we were talking about having dinner and wanting red bean pastry, which he looked up for us and even escorted us to a wonderful bakery. I would highly recommend Jino!
