We had a wonderful start of our trip with our guide Kay. He was super nice, showed us how to use the metro, get our cards, in a quick and simple way then showed us a great mix of nature, temples and bustling streets and the side ones we should visit! We recommend him to anyone who wants a positive, kind and enthusiastic guide in Tokyo! Thanks, Kay!

We enjoyed starting off with the shrine and the history then mixing in the culture and authenticity ending with the fish market. Noah made it very easy and did a great job getting us oriented to Tokyo and understanding how to get around as well as understanding basic Japanese customs.

Our tour guide, Hiroko, was so great! Not only was she knowledgeable but very personable, and accommodated to all our personal request. She was prompt and communicated well and served as a perfect translator too. She also gave us insight so we could get around Tokyo on our own and other spots we could visit. Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a tour guide in Japan!

Appy is the best personalized tour guide you can get. Her English is fluent, and she communicates effectively, conveying everything she wants you to know. On top of that, Appy is very friendly with a lovely smile. I specifically stated that my interests are FOOD and SHOPPING. Appy customized the tour based on my interests. Appy was also very attentive to know what I love to eat and what I want to shop for. Hence, she helped to get to what I want. Can't ask for more.

Day trip to Kawagoe: travel back in time to \"Little Edo\"
An interesting trip with lots to see, well explained by the tour guide who was very friendly and helpful. There are certainly more beautiful places and attractions to see in Tokyo and the surrounding area, but it\'s definitely worth it for a half day.

Hiroko are tour guide was so lovely and so informative. She was in contact prior to our tour and helped organize a meeting place. We were delayed in meeting her but it was no problem and we didn\'t feel under pressure. 100% would book another tour if visiting again and would be asking for Hiroko to be our guide.
