  • Spending time in Kyoto with Jane gave me a deeper insight into the Japanese culture. The Japanese emphasis on beautiful presentation and how they represent nature and the seasons have been an almost subconscious influence on me. Because of Jane's experience and network I had greater access to the culture.

  • I can safely say that no-one designs and runs a better small-group foodie tour than Jane Lawson! Huge effort and knowledge is brought to bear in finding the very best experiences, and it’s all done with great personal charm and care from Jane and Gerard. Highly recommended!

  • I had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto with Jane and experiencing its many delights. Jane is an intelligent, articulate and above all warm woman with a great knowledge of the city and its customs. She went out of her way to ensure that all the group had a wonderful time, providing both structure and free time to explore on our own.
