International Flights

What is a tour companion?
A tour companion is someone who accompanies you on a trip or journey. They can be friends, family members, or even professionals hired to assist during the travel. The companion can help with various things such as preparing tickets, taking pictures, booking a restaurant, navigating unfamiliar places, translating from Japanese to your language, and even providing company and making the travel experience more enjoyable.
However, a tour companion may have less detailed information about regions, culture, and history outside of Tokyo, as they might not be local to that specific area. Hence, the service is cheaper.
What is a local guide?
A local tour guide is a person who leads visitors through a city, region, or country, providing information about the places and sights you visit. They usually have in-depth knowledge of the local history, culture, traditions, and attractions.
These guides are often residents of the area they are showing you, so they can provide unique insights and hidden gems that might be obscure to a tourist. They can answer your questions, suggest the best places to eat or shop, and help you understand and appreciate the site you visit much better.
