Our guide Toshi was amazing. He clearly understood our wants and needs even after we added a few more suggestions we wanted to include. He’s patience with the family was priceless.

Fukuoka Private and Personalized Walking Tour with a Local

Friendly and knowledgeable guided tour by Yuko

Milo was outstanding. So knowledgeable and catered the tour to our requests. Highly reccomend him. .

Leon was an excellent host - very warm and welcoming and hugely engaging. He very much tailored the tour to things we had asked about but also included aspects he thought we might appreciate - and was very patient when we went off piste! I did wonder what it would be like being with one guide for eight hours but it flew by. Thoroughly recommended!

Kickstart Hiroshima

Masa was very knowledgeable and catered our tour perfectly for our family. Not always easy to capture teenage boys attention but she did! We all agreed our time with Masa was a highlight of our trip.

Unforgettable Kyoto Walking Tour with Kenta We had the absolute pleasure of having Kenta as our walking tour guide in Kyoto, and we couldn’t have imagined a better match for our interests and travel style. From the start, Kenta’s warmth and kindness made us feel completely at ease, like we were exploring the city with a trusted friend who just happened to be an expert in its history, culture, and hidden gems. He is warm, knowledgeable, and deeply respectful of Kyoto’s culture and history. He blended famous landmarks with hidden gems, tailoring the tour perfectly to our pace and interests. His passion and storytelling brought every site to life, making this one of the most meaningful travel experiences we've had. Highly recommended!

Maria went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She was very cheerful & enthusiastic.

Kay was an amazing host! He took us around to all the places we were interested in and showed us the local culture. Loved the tips he gave us!

Peach was a pleasure to us as a family. She showed a lot of compassion especially towards my girls. We got to see the main temples of Tokyo and learnt the ins and out of the railways craziness.

Full Day in Osaka with a Local

Maria was a great tour guide; she was accommodating and patient. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the city. I totally recommend her

Secret gems of Kanazawa

Akari was our private tour guide in Kanazawa. She was wonderful and very helpful. We asked to go through a specific Samurai house and she added it to our itinerary and shared many interesting things about the history with us. She was patient and great with our 14 and 10 year old children. We also asked for many recommendations and she was able to help us. Thank you very much for accommodating us!

Eat like a True Osakan in Trendy Ura Namba

María did a great job tailoring the tour to things we hadn\'t tried yet. We also had an 11 year old with us, so she made sure to include kid friendly bites as well. She took us both through popular areas and areas that are used more by locals. We had a wonderful time and tried over 10 different foods!

Kanazawa Private & Personalized Hidden Gems Walking Tour

Our guide Criselda was brilliant. She took us to several geisha districts and a samurai district, where she provided interesting historical context. Whilst walking she shared cultural insights about Japan - including about their everyday lives. Criselda also pointed out some great restaurants and shops. Overall it was a fantastic experience - Criselda is a thoughtful and intelligent guide!

It was one of the best if not the best city tour we have ever taken, that felt more like a friend showing you around ! We have seen so much and also did a little detour to see a place of interest. Our guide Emi was amazing and we felt taken care of

Great guide!

Maria was great tour guide, she was accommodating and patient. she was knowledgeable and passionate about the city. totally recommend her

Zarina is brilliant as a guide and a person!

We found Yuma to be absolutely delightful! Great English, a sense of humour and was very knowledgeable. The Peace Park Museum was hard to see, but would not have missed it for the world. Well done Yuka!

Masa was amazing and catered our tour perfectly. She answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable. She is a warm and generous person and we loved our time with her.

Kanazawa: City Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour

We went for the quick 2 hour option and it was great because of Akari, the guide’s flexibility. We still saw the tea house district and the samurai house. She knew Japanese history and that was informative. She dropped us off at the fish market and we parted ways! Perfect.
