What travelers think of our Tokyo experiences
We visited Tokyo in January 2025 and booked a private tour with Mari. She was amazing! Super friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. We would not have experienced a fraction of Tokyo in the short time that we had if not for Mari. She was fantastic with the kids and I would highly recommend booking a tour. Thanks again Mari, we had the beat time! Regards Rebecca
Show moreWe loved that we got a mix of culture and sightseeing. Everyone had the best day and Mari was the highlight of our trip!
Show moreThis was a wonderful experience for my family. Hiroko was our fabulous tour guide. She is the seriously the best and I would highly recommend requesting her. She met my family in our hotel lobby, showed us how to use the train system, customized our day for us based on our requests. Instead of trying to navigate through Tokyo oursleves, she provided a fun day for all of us to just enjoy and take in all the joys of this fascinating city. She was so informative and explained things to us with a little humor so the kids really connected with her. By the end of the tour, we felt we had known her for years. Hiroko became part of the family! I would highly recommend this activity especially one of the first few days of your trip so you can get acclimated with city. Thank you Hiroko for the best day in Tokyo. We miss you and hope to see you again soon. Btw, she is also an excellent, knowledgeable shopping guide if you want to have that kind of experience too.
Show moreRyoko was our tour guide for a children's tour in Japan. This was the first time our family of 5 (3 children ages 6, 4, and 2) did an organized tour with a tour guide. Ryoko did such a wonderful job with our kids. She planned the day excellently with fun activities for our kids and even had a little bit of time for my wife and I to just chat while she played with the kids at one of our fun activities. She took us to explore the Odaiba area and a wonderful animal cafe to explore. Thank you Ryoko for the wonderful experience!
Show moreFirst of all Saya was very knowledgeable about her City. We visited a beautiful Shrine in Harajuku. She guided us along some of the wonderful sites between Harajuku and Shibuya. We saw a lot but it all felt well managed and tailored for our family. We would highly recommend Saya. Thank you Saya. Arigoto gozaimas.

What you’ll do
Tokyo’s scale may look intimidating for a family vacation, but your host can show you an alternative, more manageable ways to enjoy it. You could investigate miniature cities at the Edo-Tokyo Museum, if you fancy living history, Tokyo’s aquariums can give you the deep dive you need, but nothing can prepare you for Sunshine Department Store’s flying penguins.
A vivid high tea at an Alice in Wonderland Cafe might be in order before nap time among the orchards of Yoyogi Park. Travel books will have you believe that Tokyo’s cuisine is an elaborate affair, but our local heroes know how to turn a bowl of ramen into a sumptuous slurp-fest!
