Hello! My name is Veronica and I'm an American living and working in Japan. I've loved Japanese culture and history since high school and one of the things I love to do is share it with other people. I'll find places you are interested in and teach you interesting facts about those places. I love to use my experience and skills to help those around me. I hope we can have an amazing time.

My reviews

Veronica made this experience absolutely AMAZING! I had personally never travelled intercontinentally before so I was very nervous to come to Japan. After our tour with Veronica, she left our whole group feeling so much more comfortable. She taught us cultural norms, how to use the transportation system while also showing us a ton of Tokyo gems in a 4 hour window. I am forever grateful that we had her to kickstart an amazing adventure! I also want to highlight that not only was she an amazing guide for the tour but she made sure to get in contact with us prior to, to make sure we were prepared for the weather. So thoughtful and clearly a person who genuinely cares! She is fantastic!

Prepare for a long walk that is worth it in terms of what you see, eat, and learn. Our guide Veronica was very well informed and helped us not only experience Tokyo, but also helped us for the rest of the trip by explaining social etiquette handy for maneuvering through Japan as a whole. She was very friendly and gave us insights into life in Japan, social culture, and history. Make sure to request Veronica if you can you won't regret it.

I appreciated that the tour was a very knowledgable english speaker because while a native may know more by default the fact that I could ask questions comparing life in USA to Japan was very useful to understand
