Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.

Marc was excellent in providing us an introductions to the many sights of Tokyo. We thought 4 hours was a long time but we barely scratched the surface. There were so many things to do and so many places to see. But he was able to help us navigate the complicated Metro system and provided us with very helpful tips on how to maximize our time in Tokyo. Having kids of his own, Marc was able to engaged skillfully with our daughter and made the experience even more meaningful for us. If your looking to explore Tokyo for the first time or take your sight seeing to the next level. You will be in good hands with Marc Paris. Merci Beaucoup

Marc is AMAZING!!!! If you want someone to show you Tokyo like a local would see it, or visit the most touristy attractions with insider knowledge on how to avoid the crowds all with a kind, personable and knowledgeable expert... then Marc is your man!!! He did all that I asked to what we wanted to do and see and I provided very little direction. Plus, I had teenagers and he was able to interact with them in such a positive way that they thoroughly enjoyed our day together and never complained once. They actually asked for more days with Marc. You cannot go wrong. I know when I come back first call I make is to Marc to understand what we should plan next! I would give ten stars if I were allowed.

Amir was a fabulous guide. We booked a 6 hour private tour for our family of four, for our first day in Tokyo. He wonderfully curated the tour with a few of the top places on our hit list as well as a few of his most favorite hidden gems. One of our hopes for this day 1 tour was to take the subway a few times so that we could feel comfortable using for the rest of our trip - goal accomplished with Amir! We walked 15,000+ steps spanning Senso-ji Temple to Shibuya Crossing. It was a wonderful day. We highly recommend this tour and Amir!
