Private Tokyo Tour with a Local Guide: Tailored to Your Interests
We would give 6 stars if we could! Tomo was in contact from the time we booked our tour to make sure we were able to see everything that was on our list. She kept us on track, but was flexible if we saw something we wanted to see that was not on the itinerary. She gave great insight and information about the sites we were seeing and helped in bridging all language barriers we encountered. She saw us right up to the point of giving our taxi driver our destination. We cannot recommend Tomo enough. Her plan and guidance made it a great day!

Private Tokyo Tour with a Local Guide: Tailored to Your Interests
Nobu was an incredible guide. He really considered our survey when crafting our day, and incorporated exactly what we asked for. In addition to this, he was very knowledgeable about all the sights we visited as well as the culture and history. Given his background living in the United States for some of his youth, I think he was particularly well suited for sharing his native culture while also understanding the culture his American clients bring to the experience. I highly recommend him as a guide.
Shibuya & Harajuku: Hidden Gems & Highlights Private Tour
My guide Alberto, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing the city with us. He tailored our trip to our specific interests, which included shopping, fashion, and harajuku culture. He shared some of his favorite places in the city and even bought us his favorite convenience store snack! He also spoke excellent English and Spanish, which was very helpful for us.

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.
Private Tokyo Tour with a Local Guide: Tailored to Your Interests
Veronica made this experience absolutely AMAZING! I had personally never travelled intercontinentally before so I was very nervous to come to Japan. After our tour with Veronica, she left our whole group feeling so much more comfortable. She taught us cultural norms, how to use the transportation system while also showing us a ton of Tokyo gems in a 4 hour window. I am forever grateful that we had her to kickstart an amazing adventure! I also want to highlight that not only was she an amazing guide for the tour but she made sure to get in contact with us prior to, to make sure we were prepared for the weather. So thoughtful and clearly a person who genuinely cares! She is fantastic!

Kamakura Customized Private One Day Tour from Tokyo
We wouldn’t have been able to navigate the transportation by train&bus to Kamakura and the walk to attractions ourselves with a toddler and baby in tow. Amir showed us the way seamlessly. He also brought his wife as extra help and both were great with my toddler. They were patient with our slow pace, helped us take our pictures, and brought us to a really good lunch spot.
