Private Customizable Car And Mini Van Tour In Tokyo

Keiko showed my husband and me two wonderful days in Tokyo, and we couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and interesting guide. There were some landmarks that we specifically requested to see and asked Keiko to suggest others. She was really easy to talk to and our conversations gave us unique insights into Japanese culture and history. The restaurants Keiko recommended for lunch were authentic food choices and we liked them both. We wanted to buy chopsticks and she took us to a tiny shop that had beautiful chopsticks at all price points—which was perfect—and was incredibly patient while we shopped. I am a little mobility-challenged and Keiko adjusted our itinerary accordingly, while still providing many experiences we thoroughly enjoyed. Japan has been amazing, thanks to Keiko!

Miko was our guide, a very knowledgeable, well prepared, and professional lady. She scheduled the tour very carefully, giving ample time to visit each site throughout the day. She showed enthusiasm for the history of each location and talked with passion about the history of Japan. She also took fabulous photographs which provide great memories. Miko chose very traditional eating places during our tour which added to the authentic experience. She interacted with a natural, friendly, and warm nature. The driver was very corteous and polite. Also, he was very attentive on the busy roads, driving safely. The tour was the highlight of our stay in Tokyo.

Very convenient during a smoldering hot day in Tokyo.

Miko gave a tour of Tokyo after picking us up from the port in Yokohama. She gave us a fantastic tour!!! She was very informative and very accommodating. We have taken many tours in cities around the world and we rank her as one of the best! I highly recommend Miko for a guided tour of Tokyo.

Miko with Hello! Tokyo Tours is an excellent Tour Guide. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She took photos of us everywhere she took us and emailed them to us that evening. She is very personable and we highly recommend her to everyone for your trip to Tokyo.

Miko was the perfect guide for our family, especially traveling with a 7-year-old and a 2-year-old. She struck the ideal balance between keeping things engaging and relaxed, which made the experience enjoyable for both kids and adults. Her pacing was just right—never rushed, but still allowing us to see and appreciate so much. She had a wonderful way of holding our attention with interesting stories and insights, while also being patient and attentive to the kids’ needs. What really stood out was how naturally she connected with our family, making everyone feel comfortable and included. It truly felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than being on a structured tour. We’re so grateful for such a thoughtful and well-curated experience, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.

My partner and I had a 8 hour walking tour of Tokyo with Meiko , which included Imperial Palace East Garden Tsukiji Fish Market Nezu Shrine and Azalea Gardens Kappabashi Kitchen Town Asakusa and Sensoji temple Tokyo Tower Meiko was extremely pleasant and friendly, and had excellent English. She did not try to hurry us , made some excellent food choice suggestions at the fish markets, and was able to adequately answer our queries and help us understand the Tokyo train system ( including emailing us concise instructions for how to return to our accomodation after dropping us off at Tokyo tower at the end of tour .) I would thoroughly recommend her to any potential travellers looking for a pleasant knowledgeable guide.

We did a private tour with Iain for one and half days in Tokyo.He did a great job at listening to our interests, planning the tour and making great suggestions for things we might be interested in. He showed up promptly and was great at communicating. He also went above and beyond to help us with shipping some items we purchased after we returned home. Would highly recommend!

Miko did a wonderful job showing us all around Yokohama and taking the time to accommodate all the sites on our wish list, taking photos and ensuring we sampled delicious street food along the way! She really know the town and by the end of the tour, she made me file like I would like to live in the area someday. Our conveyance was clean and roomy and was always around and ready to pick us up and drop us off to our next destination.

Miko Ota was our tour guide for Yokohama city. She was very kind and accommodating, and very patient as well. We went to eat soufflé pancakes, and visited Chinatown, the cup noodle museum, and the Red Brick Warehouse. She was very lovely, and efficient with our time constraints. I would recommend Miko-san to anyone who wants to visit the Yokohama area!

Miko Ota was very knowledgeable and kind. She was able to take us to many places in Yokohama and we were able to have a very good time!

If you had a higher number than 5 I would definitely give Miko from Hello Tokyo tours a ten. We ordered a private tour because I have Mobility issues. I use a scooter. MIko spent time before we even met to find accessible areas I could get to, even where there was bathrooms I could use. She listened to my requests to go shopping for souvenirs and see art and crafts made in Tokyo. She organized lunch with Geisha, which was so interesting to try the beautiful looking good with texture and to experience the Geisha letting is ask questions and she asked a lot about where we were from, she then danced for us as well. a tour in China town and I got to have my fortune read and it was accessible to get into the reading and Miko interpreted everything. Felt so comfortable with her and she was so kind. We shopped a bit and she even took some great photos for me as well. We did have a issue with the vehicle the company hired when they picked me up. It had stairs to get into. MIko said she would fix it and she did. We ended up with a vehicle with a lift so i was able to get in. Nice that she can fix an issue that came up. On our second day of tour she arrived early hired a taxi that could spend the whole day with us and had the room for my scooter. We went to an incredible park with groomed trees like bonsai. She showed us Japanese candy and explained the texture.. Miko also told us about how the grooming a bonsai and how the park is enjoyed by people to relax and take in fresh air and look at the beauty of shaped trees and the tea houses in the park. After that, we went downtown to the oldest shopping store and she explained all about it from the 1400s and how their goal was to always be sincere. It was a beautiful store and the basement was a hidden treasure of so much food and takeout and chocolates and cookies so interesting and she found me a bathroom very easily. She knew where everything was.. then we went to the underground station to see Art. The next spot was a kimono store with the most expensive kimonos that it would cost just as much as a car.. after that we went to the jewellery district and found a deal on some pearls that were good quality. Then we went for a tea ceremony that was fascinating.. It was a delicate process, even down to Cleaning, the utensils and the bowl and the mixing of the hot water with the Matcha tea with the whisk to foam it up and get it creamy and about the time it takes to get you to relax to enjoy the perfect tea very ceremonial and respectful have to say it was a real learning experience. I fell in love with Tokyo and I think it's mainly because of Miko. She's a very kind person and very knowledgable and able to interact with everyone even when we were walking by a woman that was dressed in a kimono She asked her kindly if we could get our pictures taken with her and she did it was lovely. Very nice memories and will definitely ask Miko for another tour next time in Tokyo

Great day out with Iain. We learned so much and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

We did a family tour of Tokyo with Keiko and it was superb. Keiko is a brilliant guide, exceptionally knowledgeable and a really lovely person. Her English is also excellent. Thank you Keiko!

We had an exceptional experience with Hello Tokyo Tours, and a huge part of that was our wonderful guide, Keiko. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable, welcome, and at ease. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and patient, especially with our daughter, which immediately set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable day. Keiko shared her knowledge of the culture  in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. She was thoughtful in adjusting the pace based on our energy level, which we truly appreciated since our legs were still sore from Tokyo Disney the day before. Thanks to her planning and local expertise, we were able to see all the major sights efficiently and comfortably, without unnecessary walking or stress. What stood out most was how well Keiko balanced cultural experiences with our daughter’s interests, incorporating anime highlights and a visit to the capybara café seamlessly into the day. She made sure everyone felt included and genuinely excited at each stop. From the booking process through the end of the tour, ( and even after with a follow up of other recommendations!) Hello Tokyo Tours provided top-notch service, but Keiko truly made the experience special. She didn’t just guide us through Tokyo—she made us feel cared for. We couldn’t recommend Keiko and Hello Tokyo Tours more highly, especially for families looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and memorable experience in Tokyo. The Lees

Miko was the best! Such a wonderful day exploring Tokyo with her knowledge and kindness. Our family with kids had such a great time!

Miko was an absolute joy to spend 2 days touring Tokyo with. She is very knowledgeable and adjust her style perfectly to accommodate the group she is with. We were a group of 7 with 2 very active kids. She was perfect for us and kept the kids very engaged the entire time. Whether it was special cotton candy or an arcade, Miko found creative ways to keep us all entertained. We would highly recommend her as a guide in Tokyo. Thank you Miko!!!!

The Hello! Tokyo Tours team was very helpful and flexible while customizing our 6 hour Tokyo tour. They created a realistic itinerary focused on all of our highest priority destinations in Shinjuku, the Imperial Palace and Asakusa, plus an additional service dropping us off at Hotel Disneyland at the end of our tour. Our guide Miko was very friendly, patient, flexible, knowledgeable and professional. She maintained a comfortable pace, explained the historic context of each stop (came prepared with a photo book) answered all questions, helped with fortune sticks at Sensoji temple, and took family photos at each location. After my daughter expressed interest in Japanese treats, Miko included unplanned stops in Nihonbashi to enjoy onigiri, dashi and mochi at small family shops dating back to 1600 - 1700s. We also enjoyed Japanese treats from street vendors in front of Sensoji temple. The driver was very friendly, professional and patient. He managed difficult drop-offs in front of the Imperial Palace East Garden and bridge. He even recommended visiting historic Nihonbashi Bridge during our unplanned stops. I don't recall ever having a tour driver make itinerary suggestions. I highly recommend Hello! Tokyo Tours to anyone wanting to maximize their stay in Tokyo.

Our guide was one of the best we have ever had. She had very good knowledge at each location that we explored. We will definitely use your services in the future.

We had a wonderful half day tour with Yasu. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and showed us around in a pleasant, easygoing way. He gave us historical facts and interesting insights into Japanese life. Our driver was very capable and the vehicle was comfortable and air-conditioned - a welcome respite in the heat. We would highly recommend Yasu and Hello! Tokyo tours.

We wanted to get away from the crowds and discover some of the less beaten paths of Tokyo, like Nezu Shrine, Yanaka, Gokokuji Temple, Kagurazaka and the Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden. The trip was absolutely great with Miko San as our guide and Nonaka San as our driver. Both are super professional and friendly. They both speak English, so we had no problems in understanding each other. We had expressed the wish to eat soba at a genuine local restaurant and we were not disappointed. We spent 6 hours together that just flew by with lots of fun, interesting conversations and lots of learning about Japanese history and culture. Next time we’re in Tokyo we will book this dream team again to explore new areas.

Tour was amazing. You can customize anything you would like to do. Miko was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience seamless. Saw some things we didn’t think we had time for. She had wonderful suggestions and made the tour super memorable. Couldn’t recommend her more!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

Yasu was great. Courteous and considerate. Nothing was too hard for him even in the rain. Had a great time and had the best curry udon ever. If six stars were available I would use it.

I thoroughly enjoyed our experience in Japan with our 27 8th graders. Our main guide Paiva was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She provided a variety of experiences that our students are still talking about.
