Review from Alex

What I enjoyed most was the visit to the shrine and lunch at the local restaurant Unforgettable

Review from Kevin

Akari was very personable and spoke excellent English. She gave me a nice lay of the land on my first day here which gave me confidence for my next 2 days exploring Kanazawa. I wanted and received great tips in our 2 hours together.

Fukuoka Private & Personalized Introductory Tour with a Local

Unfortunately, just prior to our tour, we went to pick up our train tickets since our train was shortly after our walking tour was to end. We were unable to get them, even though I had my card and PIN number. Yuko spoke to the agent at the window AND an agent on the phone. She was so helpful. We got a late start, but ended up seeing a good bit of the area. Yuko was a great guide OUT of the train station also.

Private Kobe Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised

Had a WONDERFUL time with Ryota doing a private tour! So easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Started the day at the port. Highly recommend going up the Kōbe port tower for amazing views. Then on to china town for some shopping and food and to wrap it up, he took us to a BEAUTIFUL Japanese zen garden which was especially amazing since the leaves were changing. Thanks Ryota!

Secret gems of Kanazawa

We had a really wonderful time with Akari, knowledgeable and engaging. She matched her pace to our group, and took time to answer our questions.

Review from Patrick

Everything was excellent from the sights visited to the lunch on a very loval place. Ai had a lot of knowledge to share and we had a very pleasant day with her

Review from Bonnie

What a wonderful tour.Max covered so much territory. The time flew by. He was able to manage history, customs, food, and humor. I hope you get the pleasure of touring with Max

Review from Clarence

It was sharing time with a friend in a new city.

Review from June

Our guide Eiko did a wonderful job explaining enough ( but not too much) about the places we visited and helped us understand where to locate things in Kyoto Station. Our visit to Sanjusangen-do was amazing.

Review from Jordan

Ryota was so easy to talk to which made the entire tour so much fun. He took us to great locations and then at the end helped us get to another spot we wanted to see. We had such perfect day!

Private Osaka Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised

Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He knows Osaka well from having lived here for at least 15 years.

Private Kobe Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised

This was a terrific experience with my wife. My family has a remote nineteenth century connection with Kobe and has always been of interest. \"Max\" was able to tailor the day to our interests. It was a very unseasonably warm autumn day and the broad brimmed hat was essential. There\'s not a not of tree cover.

Review from Raul

The tour was exactly what I hoped for in terms of getting a true feel for the city. Mark was also very accommodating for an impromptu request that caused changes in the plan. He likewise provided tips on places that we could visit on our own after our time with him.

Review from Timothy

Toru had good local k pledge of Sapporo, especially the food. I enjoyed eating the Japanese food specifically to Sapporo’s local cuisine. They were in areas only a local would know and was delicious. We visited other local common tourist areas and made some great photos and experiences. The weather was not the most ideal, but Toru was flexible and I was able to get the most out of the day. I got to know the local area better and insights to see/explore other things if I was interested. Would definitely do another tour with Toru again in the future.

Review from André

Akari, our guide has been wonderful on all counts. She was punctual, cheerful, efficient, knowledgeable and attentive to our needs.

Secret gems of Kanazawa

I definitely recommend this tour guide trip for anyone\'s first time in Kanazawa! We got to learn a lot from Megumi san, our tour guide. Thank you for a great tour in Kanazawa!

Osaka Private Half-Day Tour with a Local – Secrets & Highlights

10/10 recommend! My mom and I did the private guided tour in Osaka today - our guide was Taku and he was absolutely amazing. It was so great to get to turn off my brain for a few hours during our trip and let Taku take over navigating to different locations :) We went to Osaka Castle, a couple temple and shrines, and then to Dotonbori. Yes you can do all these by yourself BUT having our guide meant learning more knowledge in a digestible and fun way, getting shown better spots for better photo opportunities and even hidden gems and alleyways throughout our time together. Taku was so patient with us, very conversational with good English, and both my mom and I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for showing us Osaka today!

Review from Trudy

Kay did an excellent job of showing us the side of Tokyo I’d asked to see. It was an unforgettable afternoon. I highly recommend Kay as a guide. He’s a great communicator, informative and fun to be with.

Private Tokyo Tour with a Local Guide: Tailored to Your Interests

Being elderly, we often prefer to tour by car but in the case of Tokyo, I don\'t think it would be possible to enjoy or appreciate much of what this huge city has to offer. So walking with an English speaking guide offered the best way to get a taste of Tokyo in a short period of time. We only had one full day there and our guide Tim, who spoke good English contacted us almost immediately after making the booking to find out what our main interests were so that he could tailor the tour to our needs. His communication was excellent and we had a rather tiring but most enjoyable day.
