Tokyo Layover Tour with a Local: Private and Tailored to Your Needs

Martina was unbelievable! We discussed a customized tour agenda prior to arrival and she absolutely hit a home run with the customized tour. We couldn\'t have asked for a better day, guide or tour.

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

Alberto was an amazing guide through the city! We were with him our first day in Tokyo and he arranged for some once-in-lifetime experiences we would have never thought of on our own. He was also helpful in showing us some of the basics of the city & pointing out things for us to do later. The tour with him has improved our whole Tokyo experience. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing guide, friendly and knowledgable

Had a great time with Kieran, took us around all the places we wanted to see, friendly and willing to answer our thousand questions. Patient when going to shops, discreet and fun to be with. Great tips!

Hiroko was an exceptional guide

She was such a kind guide who showed us so much. She never rushed us in our tour and taught us so much in such a short time. A brilliant guide.

Very informative and fun to be with.

She made us feel very comfortable from the start and showed us some amazing food!

Tokyo Family Tour with a Local Guide, Private & Tailored to You

We visited Tokyo in January 2025 and booked a private tour with Mari. She was amazing! Super friendly, energetic and knowledgeable. We would not have experienced a fraction of Tokyo in the short time that we had if not for Mari. She was fantastic with the kids and I would highly recommend booking a tour. Thanks again Mari, we had the beat time! Regards Rebecca

Mari was very friendly and knowledgeable and spoke very well

We loved that we got a mix of culture and sightseeing. Everyone had the best day and Mari was the highlight of our trip!

Riccardo is a Perfect guide!

This man has an incredible understanding of the Japanese culture. I would say: because he is from Europe and has lived in Japan, he has an inside view as well as a view from the outside to see all of what Japan is about.

Private & Custom Tokyo Kickstart Tour With A Local

This jumpstart tour was fantastic. We did in first thing in the morning after arriving in Tokyo the night before. Our guide Saito was excellent! He introduced us to subway system and helped us buy tickets, which was very helpful. He also took us through a beautiful city park and some cool shopping districts and helped us order ramen. Most importantly, he gave us cultural tips about how to not embarrass ourselves!

We met Kieran on New Year\'s Day and are grateful that he took the time away from his holiday to show us around. We met at Tokyo Station and had a very informative, fast-paced three-hour walking tour of the city\'s highlights. Kieran shared a lot of interesting facts about his time living in Japan and insights about the culture. We had a great conversation with him, which helped us better understand aspects of the city and its people. He took us to places we never would have visited without his guidance and shared really interesting information. This was a great experience that helped us get a depth of experience we would not have had otherwise.

Had a fantastic tour with my guide. She showed me some great neighborhoods and was the perfect way to get an overview of the city. Her knowledge of the city and culture was really informative.

Amir was very pleasant company and very knowledgeable about the place.

Amir was very pleasant company and very knowledgeable about the place. I learned a lot about Tokyo and the particular area we were in. He ended the tour that Haachi the dog made famous for his loyalty to his owner. I had a great time exploring the city with him. I had more time I would book him again for other parts of Tokyo.

Highly recommended tour!

Kieran as a guide was absolutely fantastic and prior to our experience contacted me to tailor the tour exactly to my needs. He was very knowledgeable and made many suggestions for visits along the way. Great sense of humour - great tour! Highly recommend- 5 stars from me!

Great time with a fun guide who showed us around Shinjuku.

Steven is a fun guy. We went to a really cool same bar and learned quite a bit about this Japanese rice wine. Then Steven treated us to a fantastic dinner at a local spot. We tried many dishes and each was great. Steven is a n interesting guy who did everything possible to show us a great time.

Alberto Calero Lugo war ein großartiger Führer! Als Spanier, der bereits seit mehr als 30 Jahren in Tokyo wohnt und hier auch enge Kontakte zur Kunstszene pflegt, konnte er perfekt zwischen den Kulturen vermitteln. Außerdem eine interessante und sehr liebenswürdige Persönlichkeit! Die Stadttour mit ihm können wir vorbehaltlos empfehlen. Alberto Calero Lugo was a great guide! As a Spaniard who has lived in Tokyo for more than 30 years and maintains close contacts with the art scene here, he was able to mediate perfectly between cultures. Also an interesting and very lovable personality! We can unreservedly recommend the city tour with him.

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

We did a short 3-hour city tour with Kieran and it was a nice highlight of our trip. We didn\'t have much time in Tokyo and wanted to do a quick walk-around of some nice areas and Kieran was able to help us do just that. He was very pleasant to be with, knowledgeable about the local history and culture, made the most of our time, and pointed us in the right direction going forward. Having a guide was very helpful for us since we had not spent much time in Tokyo and were not familiar with all the different areas. We highly recommend.

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

Veronica was great! She was very knowledgeable and tailored our tour to our interests. Her passion for Japanese culture shines through her tour. We did the tour on New Years Day when a lot of stores are closed but Veronica showed us bustling areas and great restaurants. She recommended tons of options for later in our trip as well. We’re grateful we had someone like her to introduce us to Tokyo so we could the most of our trip. Highly recommend!

Nobu was an excellent tour guide, who curated our tour specific to our family’s interests. He was very knowledgeable, and for those who are concerned about English language barriers, his English is perfect and as a result we had some very interesting conversations with him about the differences between Japanese and North American culture. Highly recommend.

Eat Like A Local In Tokyo Food Tour: Private & Personalized

Amazing food tour of Shibuya. We enjoyed our evening with Chiria - a little history of the area along with amazing knowledge of the food!

Kyoko was great! She pointed out things and brought me to places that I would not known existed. It was a pleasure to see a few of the Japanese customs and traditions in a short time span. Would recommend her expertise to anyone at a whim!
