Kieran went above and beyond to show us some interesting spots in Tokyo that were a little bit off the beaten track

Marek was our guide and he was great! Gave a very good insight into the history and culture which was at the right level for us. He was engaging and took us to places we wouldn’t have thought to go.

What a fabulous day touring Tokyo with our guide, Megumi. A native of Tokyo, she took us all over town, hopping from place to place on the ubiquitous Tokyo Metro. (We are experienced international travelers, but without a guide we could not possibly have seen as much, or learned as much about Tokyo and Japanese culture.) She met us at our hotel, and we rode the metro to the Tokyo Outer Market/ Fish market - from there to a lively shopping area. Now it was lunch time - Meggy took us to an area with many small restaurants and we enjoyed interesting Japanese fare made in front of us on a teppan. Along the way we also visited a number of temples and gardens, and learned about the proper way to approach a temple, to pray, and leave a request for good fortune. Along our walks and over lunch we spent a lot of time learning about life in Tokyo and for Japanese youth. Megumi was so knowledgeable and personable. We had a fantastic day. Highly recommended!!

We did a day trip to Hakone and Fuji with our guide Mari. What a wonderful experience! We met Mari at the Shinjuku station just west of our hotel, and hopped on the 2 hour train to Fuji. Visitors to Fuji don\'t always see the peak but we knew we had a good chance as it was a bright sunshine filled day. Mari seated us on the right of the train and on the ride up, Fuji burst into view in all its glory. We then transferred to a special railcar that climbs the mountain switchbacks to Hakone. We were there mid April and cherry blossoms in Tokyo were starting to fade, but at the higher altitude and cooler temps of Hakone they were in full bloom! We took a break and Mari walked us around some cherry blossom stands near the Hakone station, then next, a short ride up the steep hill on a funicular. At the top we disembark to transfer to cable car gondola for the final ascent to Fuji - Mari knew just where to stand and sit for the best views - and mid way along the Ropeway, Fuji appeared from behind a ridgeline - huge and snow covered. The ropeway ends at a large viewing station - we spent awhile walking around, admiring the unobstructed views of Fuji and taking plenty of pics. Despite the warm temps of Tokyo, and the sun, at Hakone it was cool and very windy - so if you are going be prepared and bring down jackets or raincoats against the wind. The winds built up to point that the Ropeway was shut down, resulting in a huge line for busses - but with Mari\'s help, we called a cab and got back home at a reasonable time. A great day with lots of memories.

Kay was wonderful! From our first contact he was very helpful guiding and creating a customized tour of Tokyo. He communicated exceptionally well, was friendly and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our day with him.

Our tour guide, Tomo, she was very polite, kind, informative, and listen to where we wanted to see. Tomo she explained and gave us a history in the background of the places she took us. Our tour guide, Tomo\'s English was very good.

Chiara was warm, engaging, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with her in Tokyo exploring the neighborhoods. The typical Tokyo sites are easy enough to visit on your own. Instead, explore neighborhoods with Chiara where she can point out unique shopping locations, great restaurants and share her cultural experiences in living in Tokyo. A half day tour would probably be enough to get a good overview of the city and then you could do more exploring on your own.

Marik was top shelf, I don’t feel like I hired a “guide”, but rather I made a new friend who just happens to know how to get around.

Chiara was delightful. She met us at the designated spot right on time. She went out of her way to ensure a perfect tour. We saw and learned so much about Japan. Chiara provided a balance of Japanese culture, its history, the food, and its city and gardenscapes. She went out of her way, even helped us buy our rail pass and then rode to our hotel stop, to ensure we got home safely. A wonderful day with an excellent guide. Highly recommend.

Alberto was an amazing guide. He knows so much about the city, was willing to cater the tour that our jet lagged bodies. Best you ever!!!

Kay was wonderful! From our first contact he was very helpful guiding and creating a customized tour of Tokyo. He communicated exceptionally well, was friendly and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our day with him.

Our guide was so lovely! She met us at our hotel and we set off for four hours walking and talking. We had a loose agenda but could stop along the way. I really can’t say how lovely the afternoon was.

We really enjoyed walking around Tokyo with Apy, while getting to know more about the city and culture. She made the day really special!

Tomo made our experience unique and lovely, she let us with the desire to wanted to come back soon.She was very professional, humble, she took us where we wanted to explore. When we come back I ‘ll love to have her as our tour guide. Arigato mosaimasu!

The day trip to Kamakura was amazing and Kay was an excellent tour guide who went above and beyond!!!! It was a day I will never forget!!!

Alberto was exceptional! He took us to great places, told us about the history and culture of Tokyo and Japan, found exceptional photo spots and lunch/dinner places. One of our best days in a fantastic South Korea and Japan trip!

Chisato is a wonderful tour guide! She is very flexible and accommodating. We had a short time in Tokyo but she helped us make the most of it by taking us to interesting and varied sites throughout the city. Thanks Chisato for an amazing time in Tokyo!

The tailoring of our interests to the itinerary was great and made us feel very comfortable.

Was a fantastic day touring the city. Saw lots and learned so much! A really enjoyable day!

Really enjoyed this tour and our guide was great. One thing to note if you’re booking though, if doing less than a 3-4 hour tour, you won’t be able to do both Shibuya and Harajuku in that time. The description doesn’t say this so just be aware. And if you need to choose, go for Harajuku with maybe ending at the Shibuya crossing…that’s an experience not to be missed ;)
