This was a wonderful experience and my wife and I couldn’t have accomplished all the shopping in Tokyo we wanted without our great guide. Rey was kind and efficient and such a great translator too. Many thanks!

Yuta our tour guide was VERY knowledgeable about Tokyo and gave us a lot of helpful information for our very first day in Tokyo ! He took us to the highlights like harajuku, akihabara (anime city), a beautiful shrine/temple. This is a great your to book but I would do the minimum of 3 hours if you choose to walk. Other wise plan on walking and other transportation to see things you want with the tour guide. It really is tailored to your interests and shows the highlights you should definitely see! GO YUTA!

I travel a lot and Kyoko is one of the best tour guides that I’ve encountered. She’s friendly, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. Kyoko took me to some of the best Cherry Blossom viewing areas in Tokyo and it made my trip a very memorable experience. Thank you Kyoko. I have told my friends about you and hope to see you next time I’m in Japan.

I had a fantastic tour with Keiji. We instantly got along and had a great time around Tokyo. His knowledge of the area was fantastic and he was even able to alter our plans straight away as I’d already seen a temple he had planned. I can’t thank Keiji enough for giving me such a great time walking around the streets of Tokyo. Highly recommended.

We loved the city tour with Daigo. It was well structured and we were able to see places that only a local guide could show them to someone. I recomand this tour and especially Daigo
