    Apy was our host and she was super knowledgeable about the area of Tokyo and the culture. She showed us shops, Tsukiji market, temples, and anything else we requested. We asked her 100000000 questions and she answered all of them with a smile, she seemed to be really enjoying herself. It was a completely custom tour and even though she gave us an agenda she customized it on the fly when she got to know us a bit better. Her English was flawless and we highly recommend her to anyone who wants a custom tour.

    Our guide Nobu was excellent. He tailored our visit to our requests and added a few more areas that were great. He is personable, kind and a pleasure to be with. The whole family enjoyed our tour with Nobu. Highly recommend!

    This 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.
