Reviews
We had a fantastic day with Robert as our guide. He had a well planned day, with a copy of the itinerary for all four of us, which made the kids feel included. Robert was very informative, explaining each area we visited with great local insights. The tour ran on time, with an easy meet up location right near our local accommodation. A highly recommended tour.
Akiko is a wonderful guide and person!! She showed us the famous spots of Tokyo but also small undervisited neighborhoods that were beautiful. Her English was excellent and she was patient and adaptable. recommend 100%
Our guide Asaka was very friendly. She showed us a lot of places, gave us recommendations for the best food stalls, and gave us information about Japanese culture and traditions. It was a wonderful trip. (The trip length was around 4 hours)
Asaka was a delightful tour guide! She helped my father and me figure out the trains for the rest of our trip and helped us configure our itinerary in a way that we could see the attractions we wanted. She was attentive throughout our tour to our likes and dislikes and based our tour in real time on those. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
We had an 8 hour tour with our guide Hiro-San and it was amazing! Great way to get to know the city, and the culture. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Our guide was kind, very knowledgeable (he recently received Tokyo Master status) and he tailored our tour to what we'd hoped to see.
We had amazing time in Tokyo. Our host Takuji was very professional, friendly and passionate. We got a unique chance to taste, see and experience this vibrant city as you would only do by being introduced to it by a person who loves the city he lives in
what a wonderful and insightful experience. Mieko was patient and informative. we were a big group of 12 and she still provided such professional service.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Taka as our guide, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly personable, making us feel right at home. Throughout the tour, he was attentive to every detail — going out of his way to help us find exactly what we were looking for, suggesting hidden gems we would have never found on our own, and even offering wet wipes at just the right moments after having us sample amazing street food at the market. What truly set Taka apart was the way he combined the fun of the experience with genuine education. At every stop, he shared fascinating historical and cultural insights that made each place come alive, and he even pointed out small details that many would overlook. He helped tell the story of each location, often using photos and maps to paint a fuller picture of what we were seeing — helping us not just experience the moment but really understand it. Thanks to Taka, we didn’t just visit places — we connected with them. His warmth, knowledge, and thoughtfulness created an unforgettable experience that we will cherish. We would wholeheartedly recommend Taka to anyone looking for a tour that’s both deeply personal and beautifully immersive.
Taka was our tour guide and took us (my husband, 3 teenagers, and me) to Tsukiji Market, Meiji Jingu, Harajuku, and Shibuya. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptable. We would have been lost with her. She also took candid and posed photos of our family. By the end of the day, it felt more like we were being shown around Tokyo by our friend than a tour guide. We would highly recommend Taka to anyone who comes to Tokyo!
Our guide, Hiro. was great. Took us to all the places we wanted to see and provided alot of information about this great city. Highly recommend!!!
