Review from Gregg

Great experience although we had a hard time meeting each other in the beginning although we were both in the right place

Review from Michael

Criselda was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and was flexible in modifying the plans as the day went on. She is very personable and made our day special.

Customized Private Tour

Saki was brilliant, she was engaging, extremely personable, she took us to a small free museum off the beaten track. When we went to Nagoya Castle she explained the history of the Castle & significance of each room. When we also said we wanted to experience a local lunch she was able to locate a small restaurant that was simply perfect. A beautiful young lady, we would definitely book her again if we were in Nagoya or Kyoto.

Half day in Sapporo with a local

Had the best time exploring Sapporo with Ryo. We had exchanged emails ahead of time and he was able to customize the tour based on what we wanted to do in town. It was the perfect way to spend our first full day in Sapporo (and Hokkaido in general) as Ryo left us with plenty of tips and recommendations that we used for the rest of our time in the city. Felt like hanging out with an old friend by the end of our tour.

Review from Stephen

Maria was a brilliant host. She knew lots of facts and was really personable, the day was very comfortable. Maria told us some very interesting facts about japanese culture.

Review from Paul

The tour was a great time spent with lots of knowledge given.Selda was lovely and encouraged us to ask any questions we had. We also asked for other recommendations such as gold leaf ice cream places and professional Japanese knife stores.

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!

Review from Michael
