Our guide, Alice K., did a fantastic job of exposing us to the foods and culture of Japantown. She also generously shared the history of Japantown and some of her own family history. The foods we sampled were delicious-- especially the pumpkin latte and the soft matcha ice cream served in a fish-shaped cone! A fun outing! You should go!

Went on the golden tour flight for an anniversary, it was truly an amazing experience. The pilot, Carlos, was very welcoming and accommodating from beginning to end. The airplane was small but still comfortable, and the pilot pointed out landmarks as we flew over them. The take off and landing were very smooth, and during the flight the engine noise was minimal--the opposite of what I expected with a small plane! . Great customer service.
