Hello, I'm Gabriel, a proud local host in the vibrant city of Tokyo. I deeply appreciate the unique blend of traditional and modern cultures that make Tokyo such a special place. I'm especially knowledgeable about the areas of Akihabara, Asakusa, Ueno, Shibuya, and Shimokitazawa, and I love sharing my love of this city with visitors. One of the best things about Tokyo is its bustling energy, even though it maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're an avid photographer or just someone looking for an unforgettable experience, there's no shortage of amazing sights to see in this city. Spring is one of my favorite seasons in Tokyo, as it's the perfect time to go out and sample the city's delicious food and drinks. Whether you're a fan of traditional Japanese cuisine or prefer more modern fare, you'll never run out of amazing dining options in this city. And, of course, I can't forget to mention my love of anime and Japanese fashion. I'm an avid shopper and often head to Omotesando to browse the latest fashion trends. As an expert on all things Tokyo, I'm always happy to share my knowledge and help visitors make the most of their time in this amazing city. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I'm confident that you'll love this city as much as I do.

Easy going and great experience. All we wanted to see in Kamakura. Gabriel was very kind. Even helped us with finding the JR Pass exchange at Shinjuku. We had a superb time! Thanks again

We booked a one day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo with City Unscripted. It was fantastic, our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable and took us to several sites in Kamakura. It was very special, he helped us appreciate the historical and spiritual context of the temples and shrines we saw. We had an early start so were able to see these places before they were overcrowded. Highly recommend Gabriel, his insights were so thought provoking and we saw a side of Japan that was inspiring. Tea in the bamboo forest was a definite highlight, so peaceful and calm. We saw things that you would probably not see with another guide. I would recommend going on a weekday as the weekends can be very busy.

Gabriel was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of Kamakura and the sights we visited. He also provided the context and historical background, as well as explaining the rituals and helping us to participate in some of them. The tea in the bamboo forest was amazing, something we will not forget. Our time in Kamakura exceeded all expectations. Gabriel also took us to a great restaurant for lunch, which was excellent. All in all, a great day, probably the highlight of our trip.
