Kanazawa: City Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour

It was an amazing tour! Our tour guide, Saki was so pleasant and showed us exactly what we wanted to experience! We enjoyed our tour and time with her!

Geek out in Akihabara, Tokyo's pop-culture paradise

We were lucky to have such a wonderful guide in Kay. He spent so much time taking us through the anime areas we were interested in and showing us how the locals shop for these items. After that we went on a local cultural tour to a nearby Shrine and a Japanese garden. Both incredibly lovely places. Kay was friendly, knowledgeable and just a lovely person and his English was excellent. Highly recommended.

Sapporo Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by a Local

Ryo (Leo) was an awesome guide and really customized the tour to what I was interested in! We saw so much of Sapporo, and it was great to get a sense of the city from his perspective, having lived here for many years. Even outside of the tour, Ryo provided some wonderful recommendations for the rest of my time in Sapporo and other cities I would be visiting in Japan. I was a solo traveler, and it felt like having one of my friends show me around his city!

Private Kyoto Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, Personalised

Milo customized our walking tour and had a wealth of historical and contextual background that brought the area to life. We were able to get deeper understanding of the city.

Review from Sanjida

We absolutely loved our tour with Amy. She was incredibly well-organized and truly went above and beyond to show us what makes Kyoto uniquely beautiful. Even after the tour ended, we asked her for Omakase recommendations and she kindly called ahead and made reservations for us — going out of her way to help, which we appreciated so much. We kept saying, “Amy said…” throughout the rest of our trip because her insights and suggestions stayed with us. She was so thoughtful, sweet, and made the experience feel personal and special. We highly recommend her as a guide!

Private Kyoto Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, Personalised

We had the best day with Hiro in Kyoto. It was such a treat to explore the city with him. He is a low-key guy who showed us a lot of wonderful things but it wasn’t too busy or over scheduled. He was truly a pleasure to be with and we learned so much! We had such a good time.

Eat like a local in Kanazawa

Review from Kaitlyn

The entire tour was phenomenal, with interesting history told like only a local could share.

Eat like a local in Kanazawa

We combined a half day tour + food tour and had such a great day with Megumi! She showed us around all the areas of Kanazawa we wanted to see, found us fantastic food, and was a delight to simply spend time with chatting and laughing. She took such good care of us and was always checking in to make sure we were doing well and had what we needed. We couldn’t be happier with the day. Thanks Megumi!

Friendly and knowledgable guide, was a great way to see some of Kyoto.

Review from Maria

Hamu was an excellent host and guide, very motivated and eager to please, making it very easy to travel with little time and little knowledge of the language. Actually, I enjoyed everything; a trip to always remember.
