Kumiko was an excellent guide. She was so much fun and showed us so many hidden sights in Kochi. She was always smiling and had such a good attitude all day long. We really enjoyed all the planning Komodo did before hand so we could maximize our limited time in Kochi. I highly recommend this tour!

From the moment we booked the tour was well organised with excellent communication. Yuriko was waiting as promised at the port and was so helpful and fun and lovely. She took us to a ramen restaurant on request that we really enjoyed. We saw so many sights and Yuriko helped us to buy souvenirs...
