What travelers think of this experience

Fatima Sarahi Jun 2025

Our experience in Tokyo was absolutely magical thanks to our wonderful guide. From the very beginning, she was sweet, attentive, and full of positive energy. She made us feel not only welcomed, but truly cared for every step of the way. We visited Asakusa, Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Street, Tokyo Station, had delicious sushi for lunch, and ended in Akihabara — and throughout it all, her warmth and knowledge made every place feel even more special. We’re on our honeymoon, and honestly, this day will stay in our hearts forever. It felt like spending the day with a dear friend

Chisato was a great guide with lots of passion! I had a great time with her even though I was on a solo trip. She made me feel like I was with a friend. She tried her best to go with my preferences while planning our route. It was great and I had the best whiskey I've ever tried.
