    Had a great time on the tour despite the rain! Our guide Ciara was knowledgeable and fun, making the experience enjoyable. Riding the train was a nice addition and an adventure in itself. The ride was clean and respectful, adding to the overall positive experience. Would recommend!

    Chiara was a very fun and knowledgeable guide to Tokyo and off the beaten track eateries. We stopped in a smaller neighborhood for a homemade bean pancake. It was so charming and delicious. We were able to stroll and shop at the fun little stores along the way. We also were able to see how the train system worked and were set up with suica passes. Chiara gave us her insight into living in Japan, which was very interesting and we all learned so much about the culture. Her personality was fun and lively, making the tour very enjoyable.

    Chiara was excellent! We had a great time with her as our guide. We were able to find the meeting spot with out any trouble. We know we could not have seen as many places on our own. She helped us navigate Tokyo with ease and showed us so many highlights and hidden gems in our short time with her. We wish we had booked a few more hours. Thank you for making our first visit to Tokyo, such a successful and memorable experience!
