Reviews
a more enthusiastic and communicative tour guide would have made a big difference on our experience. we’re supposed to meet our guide at the ferry pier but he had not been reachable by WhatsApp, which was supposed to be our means of communication. we had to find the car ourselves which we fortunately did. our guide did not show up until after we got onto the car ourselves. the driver of the car was very welcoming though. our guide was obviously very into phtotography as he brought 2 professional cameras, with which he took his time away from us shooting photos himself. we were also doubtful about his experience with showing guests around the island as it seemed to be his first time on Naoshima. his introduction to the sites we visited were usually brief, pretty much taken from the brochures / pamphlets at the site. he did send us quite a lot of the photos he took on the island, but after the tour ended. travelling on the island on the car was nice and convenient though.
The customers were very satisfied and happy, I thank you very much. The guide was excellent!
