Pour la demande de guide francophone:
Nous ne pouvons pas garantir la francophonie pour un tour partagée, car mélangeant plusieurs nationalités, la priorité deviendra l'anglais.
Tous nos guides parlent au minimum anglais et japonais, ce qui veut dire que le français sera une langue supplémentaire.Le guide pourra donc alterner entre anglais et français si nécessaire.
Pour garantir la disponibilité du guide francophone à la date souhaitée, veuillez nous contacter à l'avance, afin que nous puissions confirmer qu'un guide francophone est toujours disponible pour votre date de réservation.
Merci pour votre compréhension.
