Masae was extremely helpful from the start. She assessed our age and adjusted the pace of the tour to ensure we completed the tour and enjoyed it. It was obvious from the start that she had done her homework regarding historical facts and legend. Masae answered all questions honestly. We would very highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Extremly friendly tourguide, shogun! Very interactive and responded to every question we had:) 10/10!
Ken was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable on the customs and culture of all places visited. Amazing time.
Yuki did a great job. I love how he is a anime fan as well. He took great pictures of us, but what I liked the most is his willingness to help others. A man fainted on the street. He noticed that one person was missing out of his group and he saw me and this lady trying to help this man. Immediately he came over to help us. This team work saved this man for he had stopped breathing. I appreciate him staying alert and noticing someone was missing in the group. I give Yuki 10/10 because a life was saved that day. Your life is about to change. I pray good things follow you for the rest of your life for you put others before yourself!
Our guide Shogun was very nice, knowledgable and shared lots of information. Real help as we were first time in Japan!
It was great! We enjoyed Ken’s experience and guidance. It was excellent!
We enjoyed a very informative tour with the guidance of Ken. We explored new places and good shops.
We enjoyed the visit with Ken very much. Ken showed us different hidden places where tourists normally don’t go. Very recommended!
Massachusetts was an incredible tour guide! This highlights tour was very educational and entertaining. We learned so much about the history of Japan. He made it very easy to commute and was considerate from beginning to finish. He brought us to places we would have never been in before like Super Potato arcade. The whole experience was very personable and we left the experience feeling not only informed but excited to learn more about Japan. We will be for sure be booking again and asking for Massachusetts!
Until today, we were feeling overwhelmed being dropped in the middle of Tokyo as first timers in Japan. Yuki guided us through various bustling and exciting areas, whilst along the way sharing with us his extensive knowledge of the city (and many other places), making us feel comfortable and relaxed to take on the metropolis. We are very grateful to have had Yuki as our guide, what a great bloke and what a great experience.
We had an amazing experience with Ken! He was very informative and we got to see a lot of different sights.
Ramesh has been a wonderful guide with a deep appreciation of culture. We went from temple to anime without missing a beat. Thank you!
Alice was an excellent guide with lots of relevant and interesting information. We enjoyed the food provided and the tips for the best shops. We highly recommend it
Molly was so nice and it was a pleasure to learn so much in a short time. I recommend strongly.
Amazing, informative, and fun tour! Ken, the tour guide, was awesome!
This was amazing experience with the guide I would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience or have a taste of Tokyo
Jun was a friendly, cool guy who enjoyed showing our group all the experiences of the tour. We were late to our point and Magical Tour team kept communicating until we caught up with the group. Really caring, overall a terrific experience
What a fantastic way to start my trip to Tokyo. Molly was a wonderful guide and the experience exceeded my expectations. From learning about Japanese culture and traditions to trying different types of sushi and snacks at Tsukiji to a wonderful Wagyu beef lunch everything was delightful. Highly, highly recommended!!!
Ken was a fantastic guide! Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He showed us Japan from a local perspective and made our trip truly memorable. Highly recommended!
This tour was a great snapshot of Japan from the different cultural and ethnicity perspectives. Our host Kazu was well versed on all aspects of the tour and any questions raised. He was fantastic and worth the cost of the tour alone. Highly recommended.
What an amazing day! Molly our guide was fabulous! We left with amazing memories and a much deeper appreciation of Japan. We would highly recommend this tour and our guide Molly to anyone visiting Japan. Thank you for making our day so special—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Ken, was extremely professional, very knowledgeable and knows allot about the history of Japan.
Allce was a wonderful tour guide. She took us to many interesting places and was very knowledgeable everywhere we went.
It was a great tour guided by Ken with great experiences in Tokio There were detailed explanation given to all main sights. We really enjoyed the tour.
We loved everything about Japan. Guided tours such as this one enhanced our experiences. It was great to try several Japanese specialties and to have the etiquette and the history of the temples and shrines demonstrated and explained. Masae was knowledgeable and respectful. This was a wonderful experience.
Great experience. Friendly, knowledgeable guide, Ken. Interesting sites.
Ken was such a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly. Had a Great Day. Lunch was also Awesome!!
Really enjoyed it, really interesting.Ken was fabulous! Must do when visiting Tokyo.
Masae was a wonderful tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative
The whole experience is very well organised, informative, and a must do trip. It was really enjoyable at a steady pace, that absolutely anyone can do. Ken as a guide was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, I would love to book more tours with him, a must do experience, it’s well worth trying. Thank you Ken for making it special.
Naoki was fantastic! He gave us so much personal attention, so many fun things like playing retro games, getting our fortunes told, a very nice and educational lunch. We not only learned a lot of interesting things but had a ball doing it! He had a notebook full of answers to frequently asked questions, and he continuously gave us tips on how and where to shop, eat, drink and be entertained. We would highly recommend him!
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Ken as our guide. From the moment we met, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful—especially when it came to navigating Tokyo’s train system, which made a huge difference to our confidence getting around. Our tour began at the vibrant Tsukiji Outer Market, where Ken guided us through the maze of over 400 stalls. The atmosphere was electric, and thanks to his local knowledge, we got to try some amazing treats—including pink strawberry mochi, fresh tuna sashimi (which I loved, even if my husband gave it a miss!), and a delicious egg omelette on a stick. We then made our way to Akihabara, where Ken showed us the quirky and nostalgic side of Tokyo. The retro gaming museum was a real highlight—so much so that we’re now regretting throwing out our kids’ old Gameboys! Next stop was Sensō-ji in Asakusa, the oldest temple in Tokyo. Ken shared fascinating insights into its history and traditions, which really added depth to the experience. We finished the day with a traditional Japanese lunch, rounding out a perfect mix of culture, food, and fun. Ken truly made the day special. His passion for Tokyo, attention to detail, and ability to tailor the experience to us made it one of the highlights of our trip. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an authentic and enjoyable introduction to Tokyo.
We had booked the “Tokyo’s Must-Sees: 5-Hour Tsukiji, Akihabara, and Asakusa Tour” and had a wonderful time in Tokyo as a result. The group consisted of a comfortable total of 7 people, including our tour guide, Yuki. First, we visited the fish market in Tsukiji, where we were well taken care of in terms of food. A particular highlight was the fresh sashimi. Afterward, we visited the tech district of Akihabara, where we, as anime fans, definitely got our money’s worth. Finally, we were able to get another glimpse into the cultural and religious side of Tokyo in Asakusa. There, to wrap up the tour, Yuki treated us to a delicious meal. After the tour ended, the three of us went back to Akihabara, where Yuki once again gave us excellent advice on choosing the best merchandise shops. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Yuki once again for the great tour. Arigatou gozaimasu, Yuki! Best regards, André and Nino
Our tour with Yuki from Magical Tours was wonderful. He took the time to cater the experience to our preferences throughout the tour. We got to try various food and sake items at the market and he brought us to shops out of the beaten path for unique Japanese made products. Lunch included was also very good. The tour and Yuki guiding was a delightful experience!
Really great day! Naoki was a great guide, who balanced flexibility and taking requests with keeping us on schedule. He also had a binder of useful info. The market tour was a definite highlight - tons of delicious samples!
excellent review. I really enjoyed the food tasting and lunch .Ken our tour guide was very friendly and considered
Very nice and competent Guide named Ken. We experienced all the spots and are very happy. Thanks again to our Guide Ken!
We really enjoyed Tokyo must see city tour. Our tour leader, Ken was very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great time exploring the city.
It was quite fun! super fun with Ken. He was quite fast while walking and efficient.
I ended up being the only one on the tour but Alice was fantastic! She was keen to understand my interests to cater the tour how I wanted. We covered everything in the itinerary and because it was just me, we also had time to fit in some extra visits I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. The lunch at Beef Professional was also stellar and was a restaurant not on my radar, so really happy we got to go there. Cannot recommend enough
Very nice guide who provided good information and was responsive to questions. Very happy with this tour despite rain all day.
Ken was amazing! Had a wonderful tour, great conversation and food! Would definitely do again.
Very good tour, the tour guide Ken was very friendly, well organized, the food on the tour was also good
This Tour was amazing, the tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable. My family learnt so much and had a great time! Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Tokyo for the first time. :)
This tour was such an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, and I felt relaxed and able to enjoy every moment. The tour guide was incredibly kind and approachable, and they made everyone feel welcome. There were so many great photo opportunities throughout the tour, which made it even more memorable. To top it all off, a meal was provided at the end of the tour, which was such a nice touch and a perfect way to finish the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something fun, organised, and memorable.
Ken was a masterful guide through traditional areas of downtown Tokyo! A great peak into Japanese culture. Very personable and enjoyable host!
Ken was a wonderful guide. He was thoughtful about all the things we asked and went above and beyond in making sure we enjoyed our time in Tokyo.
A perfect way to spend the day exploring Japanese food and culture. The fish market was fascinating, food so tasty and a must see in Tokyo. Learning about Magna, Anima was insightful and enjoyable, and the Sensoji Temple is beautiful. Tour guide Molly was sensational in every way, so knowledgeable, and we had the most magnificent Wagu lunch. We highly recommend this tour!
Ken was most informative and precise. He was friendly and understanding. Really enjoyed our food experiences and the lunch was absolutely delicious.
The walking tour was very informative and Ken was a great guide and very friendly
