Tom was great at helping me find pottery and the potters on Koh Kret Island. He has a wealth of knowledge to share along the way about Thai customs and people. We happily took different modes of travel through the city. He was especially able to answer my many questions about Buddhism, Buddhist customs and the differences with and overlap among Hindu and Animism beliefs so prevalent in Bangkok. Finally he was able to help me find vegetarian food when so much of the cuisine is meat-based. I enjoyed the day!

We did a 2 hour walking tour with Antonia. She was an excellent guide and provided us with an insightful guide to her city, Bologna. We loved our tour of the food market with her.

Kalid arrived early and got us started with the observation deck of our hotel which was included with the tour. He was flexible, communicated the history of the city and all sites visited with candid honesty, personal relevance and great respect for the Japanese democracy, culture and way of life. Our tour was action packed with information from beginning to end, with information delivered at a pace we were willing to consume it and relevant to the sites we visited. I highly recommend Kalid, as someone who can relate to the information curious tourist as myself are seaking, and now a resident who has educated himself on the history of Japan! Kalid, thanks for the excellent job you did today! All of the personal touches you added to today's tour, were invaluable!

Somehow he toned it that we made it to the special clock to see it at noon.
