Great experience

This tour is getting to know Tokyo neighborhoods, people, and local haunts with a few iconic places thrown in!! Perfection, thanks to our amazing guide, Alberto! He knew every in and out of Tokyo and took us along with him.. We walked almost 9 miles and took trains and ate a great meal. A must for people who want to stay off a bus and see a real slice of Tokyo!

Robert ging super auf unsere Wünsche ein.
Wir haben wirklich viel gesehen an diesem Tag. Robert wusste sehr viel zu erzählen.. Alles, was er vorschlug war interessant.
Very informative, knowledgeable, energetic, knows what I want, ready to adapt . Very good English.
I really like Mari. Very enthusiastic, adapting and tentative to what I really want to experience -that is, a bit of culture, how ordinary down-to-earth people go about their lives earning a living, the flora and nature, unique local foods. Loved the little bits of cookies, nuts. and one of my main requests, sushi, howevetr, didn’t get to try ramen - I was so stuffed with the goodies Mari let me taste. It was hard walking up and down very high steps , but I love it. Hard on my hips, but good tiredness. Uvcould spend the whole day around that region taking in the foods , sthe old architecture of the old houses, shingles of the temples , and Mari knows I am so taken by the various shapes of the eaves troughs hangings. I was ready to buy them or, if I could without being arrested , cut off a good-size length! All in all very happy.. Thank you, Mari. Job well done. I would recommend you any time:,
Fantastic Day!
Hiroko met us at our hotel and was early which was nice. She took us to so many sites and explained the culture and customs. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and she took so many photos of us to enjoy later. She is so thoughtful, kind, and funny!

Tokyo Layover Tour with a Local: Private and Tailored to Your Needs
This tour was a great introduction to Tokyo, making it feel much more approachable. I loved the fact that we went everywhere by public transportation, and walked around each area, as it gave me a chance to really get a feel for things. My guide, Api, was wonderful, and I felt as though I was being shown around the city by a friend.

Alberto is an exceptionally knowledgeable guide. Had a great time walking around some of Tokyo’s gems.
A great taster of what Tokyo has to offer.
Ikio was a good match for me. He is of similar age and outlook to me, speaks very good English with a very good knowledge of Tokyo. He was also very helpful in explaining the basics of how the Metro system works which was very useful later on in my visit.

Our private tour with Suzuno was the highlight of our trip. We chose to see the local side of Tokyo and had an amazing walk through fascinating local areas, including the Carrot Tower (it’s actual name) with a stunning view of Mt Fuji and no one else there. Highly recommended.
