5.00Great itinerary and great guide. Spoke English well. Be prepared do lots of walking, and taking very efficient trains and our guide figured out the fares! Many stairs and many transfers to trains. We never would have accomplished our excursion without our knowledgeable guide! English language was widely understood. Enjoy lots of varied sites!

5.00Our guide Ted-san was great! He contacted us ahead of time, then provided an itinerary that included our selections. We really liked his explanations, riding on the metro and enjoyed seeing many major sights. Highly recommend.

5.00Takeshi was great with us. He communicated with us beforehand about what we wanted to see, then made arrangements where we would meet. He was there on time to meet us. Our day was fabulous. He took us to see all of the things we talked about and helped us navigate through Tokyo. He was very knowledgeable and interesting, yet he kept it fun. We only had one day in Tokyo and this tour really helped us maximize pur time! Great tpur, would highly recommend
Excellent tour with a great guide.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of Tokyo. Takako, our tour guide, was excellent. She put together an itinerary that covered everything we wanted to see. She answered all of our questions and provided great insight into the various locations we visited. All in all, a great tour with a great guide. Richard R. May 2026

5.00Our tour was outstanding! Our guide, Haruhiko, made our trip incredibly memorable and special. He was extremely knowledgeable about Japanese culture and shared so many interesting details throughout the day that made the experience even more meaningful. We chose the points of interest we wanted to visit, and he handled all the navigating and logistics seamlessly. Thank goodness he was there for the trains! That alone made the day so much less stressful and much more enjoyable. We truly had an amazing experience and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan!
Great

5.00Taka was simply the best. We enjoyed our day in Tokyo so much. We visited the shrine of Emperor Meiji, Shibuya crossing, Harajuku, fish market, ate fresh sushi and sashimi. And many other things

5.00No words can express how fortunate we were to have had Mr. Kasama guide us around Tokyo. He had a wealth of knowledge to share with both my mother and I, and we definitely saw some of not only the best spots but also very important spots for the history of Japan, and important for its people. Not only did he come and get us from the hotel room to get us to the stations we needed to get to (not gonna lie, the subway system is downright confusing if you’re not prepared), but after the tour, he even made sure we got on our correct line to get us back to our hotel. This was a great experience, and if ai were to ever return to Japan and want another tour of Tokyo, I will most definitely want this great guy being our guide again! I really can’t say enough good things about him, and how great of an experience it was!
Experience Tokyo like a local…,

5.00It was a wonderful way to experience Tokyo and get a real feel for the city. Takeshi was friendly, easy to talk to and yet very professional. He answered our millions of questions and took us to an amazing place for lunch! We had a full day riding the train the train to various highlights. A really fantastic tour.
Worth every dollar

5.00Sam was the best! This was our first trip to Japan and I wanted some help on our first day in Tokyo. Sam reached out a few weeks prior to our trip to help build an itinerary. We were met at our hotel and everything was easy after that. There was a lot of walking but that was due to the points of interest we selected. It was also nice to get some history and background on the places we were visiting. Sam found us a great spot for lunch and worked around some dietary restrictions. The day flew by and I wish we could have Sam back for another day.
Fun and informative walking tour!

5.00Hiroshi was wonderful. He was very informative and took us all over Tokyo. This was by foot and train, but we saw a lot. On top of things, he took a 1 hour train from Tokyo to come pick us up at our hotel In Yokohama and then we took the train back to Tokyo. He was attentive to every need and was willing to show us whatever we wanted to see. I woukd highly recommend.
