We had a wonderful day exploring different sites in Tokyo. Our guide, Chas, was very friendly, informative, and accommodating. We will always remember him!

Mac was very informative and entertaining.

Really good experience, Hiro was really nice. I really recommend the experience.

We had an amazing experience, the tour guide was very kind

Really nice your. Hiro is an excellent tour guide. I totally recommend it.

Mac was exceptional and professional! He was so helpful and nice! We loved our tour. We learned a lot about not only where we stayed, but the fish markets as well!

Mac is an outstanding guide!!! Loved spending 5 hours on a private tour with him. Before the tour, he made great recommendations and helped tailor the tour based on our preferences. Very knowledgeable, kind and has a wonderful sense of humor! Thank you Mac for an amazing day 🤩

Mami was our tour guide while in Tokyo. She was very accommodating to our requests and any changes we made while on our tour. Highly recommend Mami as your tour guide when in Tokyo.

Kei was an excellent guide for our tour. She spoke very good English and provided much information during our tour. She was confident and knew where we were going and gave us enough time to experience each stop. I would highly recommend her.

Our guide Kei was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and took us to the best places to eat. Thank you Kei for a wonderful experience!

Kei was friendly and knowledgeable. Sushi making was amazing experience. Learning about the local history on the way was a great added touch. 10/10 would do this tour again!

We had a fantastic tour with our guide, Kei. She took us to many interesting places, including the Tsukiji Market, and explained the history and local customs in fluent English. Out of all the guides we had during our trip in Japan, we enjoyed her guiding the most—she was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. The sushi-making experience at the end of the tour was relatively simple in terms of cooking skills, so we didn’t learn much technique-wise, but the nigiri sushi we made was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Had an amazing tour with Kei - she showed us Asakusa and Imperial Palace East Gardens. She told us all about the location, the history and their significance to Japan and Tokyo and also answered questions about Japanese culture now as well as years ago. She recommended lots of fantastic food which we then went and tried - delicious! Thank you Kei - our favourite Japanese tour guide in Japan!

We took a 4 hour Tokyo private tour with Mieko before building a cruise ship and it was great! She took us to the places we'd selected via public transportation and we didn't have any trouble at all. She was very helpful, friendly and polite - and picked us up in the lobby of our hotel and returned us back there. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful tour with Mac. He was very good at explaining what we were seeing and giving us time to look around. We tasted quite a few things that were very different from what we are used to. It was an enjoyable experience and highly recommended.

I had a fun time with my family exploring the fish market and local markets here In Tokyo. Our tour guide keiko was absolutely wonderful!

10/10 - Sean gave us the inside scoop of the fish market. We tried many different foods and spoke to locals. Sean even went out of his way to make a phone call in Japanese to make sure a restaurant was open for us.

Our family group visited Tokyo for the first time when we were fortunate to have Yuriko as our tour guide to show us around and share her culture with us. She is an extremely knowledgeable guide but also very warm and personable. It was fantastic to see Tokyo through the eyes of a local and to obtain tips on how best to navigate this amazing city. Thank you Yuriko.

The tour guide Naoko-san is very friendly, accomodating, and helpful to our requests. Very satisfied. 10/10 the whole 2 days tour

Our tour guide, Naoko-san, was very nice. Her personality was very pleasant. We enjoyed our walking tour so much. She was very knowledgeable about the places we would go and how to get there. Definitely recommend!

Our guide , Naoko, Tokyowas very accomodating to let us visit places around the area of shibuya and shinduku. She helped us with our requests and went out of her way to assist us. She gave tips on how to better enjoy our short vacation in Tokyo. We are very grateful to Naokosan

Yoko-san took us to many lovely places including Meiji Jingu, Nezu Museum, Omotesando and Shibuya. She was very good at accomodating our requests and at the same time, she had many wondeful suggestions using her expertise. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

This was an amazing experience! Our guide Tomoko was super nice and knowledgeable. We tried delicious food and she provided great service. One of my favorite part of traveling to Japan! Would recommend to my friends. With Tomoko, we were in good hands.

My wife and I wanted an introduction to Japan on our first day that would teach us how to get around and show us some some sights outside the norm that we wouldn’t have done by ourselves. Our guide, Tak, fit the bill perfectly. He was thoughtful, fun and knowledgeable and put together a couple of hours for us that fit the bill perfectly. Highly recommend for a first day in town. Thanks Tak, Paul and Cheryl, Australia

We did a tour of Shinjuku and Golden Gai with Shuji and it was one of my favorite things that we did in Japan. I was absolutely floored by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication that Shuji put into the tour. It felt like a friend was showing us around the city and not a guide. The food and drinks were amazing and we left so full and happy. He gave us background around each place and answered all of our questions about Japan in general. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and we are recommending it to all our friends going to Japan in the future. I wish we knew how wonderful this experience would be and would recommend to do it at the start of your Japan trip. We did it at the end so now we wish we had more time to explore his recommendations. An amazing experience. 10/10! Would happily do it again.

Souta was an awesome guide. Spoke great English and was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend using him for your tour in Japan!

We took a private walking day tour in Kamakura. Our guide was Yuco and she did an outstanding job!!! Her English is great, very easy to understand. She was extremely knowledgeable about Japanese history of the history of Kamakura - we learned so much. She knows how to navigate the city and attractions. I would highly recommend and ask for Yuco!!

The tour was very fun and informative. I came for the tour but stayed for our lovely guide Naoko!! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.

Very informative and interesting walking tour with Tak our guide for the tour. He was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to . We had an enjoyable time in the fish market ( amazing Sashimi) and Imperial Palace Gardens . I am Happy to recommend Tak as a guide
