He also was a lot of fun to chat with and a good sense of humour as we strolled around for 3 hours. Would happily do it again!! I highly recommend this tour.
Show moreOur last full day in Tokyo was our best memory of this city due to our tour with Sherilyn from City Unscripted. Although we had seen many of the Tokyo tourist oriented locations previously with another tour company, Sherilyn provided us with a unique experience that we will treasure. Prior to leaving for Japan, Sherilyn had made contact with us, and based on our preferences, had suggested some places we might want to see. She also helped describe how the trains operated and how we could get a pass to pay for them. This was invaluable and helped ease our concerns on getting around cities in Japan. The night before we met up with her, Sherilyn further customised the tour based on what places we had already visited. Our tour with Sherilyn covered many off the beaten trail places giving us an insight into how the people of Tokyo lived. She had selected stops for refreshments that catered to our vegetarian preferences including a very small tea shop that served a fermented rice beverage that became our quintessential Japanese experience. We also visited shrines and temples that were not overrun with many tourists which helped touch on their serene atmosphere. Sherilyn was a very warm and friendly person and shared information about herself and her family that helped us better understand life in Japan. Over the eight hours we spent with her, she became more of a friend and less a guide.
Show moreKen was a great host with a wealth of very personal local knowledge. He developed a very personalized tour for us and knew the best spots to stop and soak in the local experience. Definitely recommend.
