My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic. We all can't wait to book our trip when the time allows!

We are a group of five people from Hong Kong for the first time visiting Kagoshima. We joined various tours arranged by Tabitto as we want to experience more about Kagoshima other than shopping. The most remarkable are the tram night and tea & distillery experience. Personally, I love taking tram in Hong Kong because we can enjoy the view and the time well spent with friends. At tram night, we also met other participants came from Hong Kong! It is recommended to join the tram night either meeting new friends or enjoy the delicious food with Kagoshima specialties. We also visited Whisky distillery and Shochu distillery. That was pretty impressive too as to know and experience something you can't see it easily in your own city. And the Tea ceremony was such a wonderful experience to admire how much they care and preserve their own culture. To sum up, great experience, great people, great foods ! Had a wonderful time experiences well prepared by Tabitto !!!
