My reviews

Marc Paris was awesome! He was knowledgeable, fun, helpful and helped us plan the rest of our trip to Tokyo. my wife is Celiac (no gluten) which is challenging in Japan. Marc found spots for us to try and showed us where the locals would eat. He recommended spots for our teenagers to shop for manga/anime collectibles, and helped us organize the places we wanted to go into efficient day trips. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Great local guide. Marc was fantastic and personalised the walking tour to my interests and desire to see as much of the city as possible in 3-4 hours. He showed me some off the beaten path spots and was friendly, personable and professional at all times.

Marc gave a personalised bespoke walking tour with some special locations and practical insights about Tokyo's key neighbourhoods. I had limited time and he maximised it by keeping good pace (10kms of walking in 3 hours) and making use of trains and buses to hop to the next location. He was personable and friendly, and can recommend him as a private guide.
