Latest reviews from our guests

    Ayaka was very knowledgeable about the city and Japan in general. The tour felt curated to our interests, and she gave us information and recommendations for how to get around, places to eat and things to do during the rest of our stay. She was a very friendly host and we had a fun tour!

    We had a very enjoyable and energizing experience with Shoko. She had us experience Tsukiji at its peak! Having her with us made our experience even more enjoyable because she was able to communicate (for us) with the vendors. Easy peasy! Her knowledge and her willingness to assist us with our subway experience was such a blessing for us. In addition, she was such a joy to be around with her constant smile. She is the best!

    Kejei met us at our hotel and explained our itinerary. We added the Sanja Matsuri festival to the plan and it fit right in to his itinerary for the day. We went for an enjoyable sushi place for lunch. Kejei explained so many things about Tokyo and Japanese culture. He showed us how to navigate the train system and gave us ideas for the remainder of our vacation. An excellent guide we highly recommend!!!
