Traveller reviews
Miyuki was our great guide for this activity. It was a pleasure to spend the day with her. She was punctual, organized, and very accommodating. She tailored the day to our interests. She took wonderful care of us and made Tokyo a hundred times easier for this newcomer.
What an amazing day in Tokyo with Hitomi!! We visited several spots around the City including the fish market, Harijuku, Shibuya and the Meiji Shrine. Hitomi gave us choices ahead of time and tailored our day to the sites we chose. We stopped for lunch at an incredible sushi place. Hitomi’s recommendations and tips made our day extra special. Her communication was phenomenal, and she helped us to feel comfortable everywhere we went! I highly recommend Hitomi as a tour guide when visiting Tokyo!! We would have been overwhelmed without her!!
Kaz was our guide today and he was a great tour guide. He was both knowledgeable and friendly, he helped us appreciate the wonderful sights but also the essence of Japan and their fabulous culture. Thanks Kaz 🇬🇧🇯🇵
We had a magical afternoon riding through the streets of Tokyo with Thichi as our guide. The tour felt thoughtfully curated from start to finish—gliding past cherry blossoms in 2 different parks, weaving through quiet residential neighborhoods and charming hidden pathways, and making our way to the iconic Shibuya Crossing. One of the highlights was how seamlessly the experience blended biking with a quick hop onto the subway to see a famous painting with a fascinating story behind it, something we never would have discovered or appreciated on our own. We also explored the markets within the subway, which added a unique and local feel to the experience. The tour included vibrant city spots and a peaceful local shrine, giving us a real sense of Tokyo’s many layers. Thichi brought everything to life with his knowledge of the city’s history and his personal stories. We also met other lovely people on the tour, shared plenty of laughs, and felt completely immersed the whole time. It was the perfect balance of culture, adventure, and fun—an experience we’ll remember for a long time.
Kaz was a wonderful guide! He created such a beautiful and meaningful first day for us in Japan. Kaz shared his wealth of knowledge of history and culture as well as personal stories, he also helped us to understand the subway system. We thoroughly enjoyed our day in Toyoko with Kaz.
Our 4 hour private tour with Hiro our guide was amazing! Hiro was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We travelled by metro to various places which was very efficient. We wanted a unique experience and he delivered a curated experience. We were able to see beautiful cherry blossoms at Shinjuku Gyoen Park, sake tasting through the Japan Sake information centre and walk through the Ningyocho neighborhood. Hiro recommended a local Wagyu steak house in Ningyocho for lunch. It was the best steak we had ever had. We would highly recommend Hiro and this customized private tour.
Miyiki was fabulous, I got an overview of Tokyo from a lovely local. Very comfortable friendly and knowledge.
We found this to be a really good way to see a lot of Tokyo that we would otherwise have not been able to find on our own. Going via public transport was also a big help as we now know how to do this for the rest of our stay. Miyuki is very knowledgeable, easy to understand and was able to conduct the tour at our pace so that we could stop and look at what we wanted to along the way.
