A joyful snapshot of Takayama

Published on Oct, 2024

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!

Published on Sep, 2020

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

Published on Aug, 2020

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

Published on Jun, 2020

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!)

Published on May, 2020

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 !!
