5.00Jero was phenomenal! Book him with confidence. An absolute gentleman who is wonderful at his craft. He’s a wonderful story teller and has tremendous depth of Japan. His viewpoint is informed and well rounded providing a comprehensive experience of Japan. Our family does a good amount of traveling and Jero was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Thank you, Jero, for a memorable experience!

5.00In advance: We booked the tour at short notice the day before and chose the 8-hour guided tour. Our guide, Jero, picked us up at the hotel and we started the tour right there. He told us a lot about the different districts, mentioned fun facts along the way, and also shared a bit about life in Tokyo. The tour was casual and relaxed - it felt more like a friend showing you the city. Making stops to look at things was no problem. Throughout the journey, he also gave us tips and recommendations. We are glad that we booked this tour! It was really helpful to get an initial insight into the metropolis and made the following days easier. :) I can wholeheartedly recommend it!

5.00Jero gave us an excellent tour including Meiji Shrine and all around Shibuya and Shinjuku, showed us how to use the train and metro systems, accommodated our need to slow down and feed our eleven year old by directing us to an exceptional ramen bar, and talked to us extensively about Japanese culture and life. He took many fun photos of our family at various sites and was focused on ensuring that we got what we wanted out of our tour. Highly recommend!
Great tour! Thank you ☺️

5.00Our tours with Jero from Shiny-Tours were a true highlight of our trip to Japan. With his professionalism, friendliness, and flexibility, he created a personal travel experience that exceeded our expectations. We were particularly impressed by how individually he addressed the interests of our group and adapted the tours accordingly. With his extensive knowledge, exciting background information, and cultural insights, he introduced us to Tokyo and Kyoto in a lively and understandable way. Thanks to his excellent organization and accommodating nature, we felt well taken care of at all times. The tours were well-prepared and flexible enough for spontaneous requests. We sincerely thank Jero for this special experience and wholeheartedly recommend him and Shiny-Tours. Anyone looking to discover Tokyo and Kyoto authentically, informatively, and especially in German, will find themselves in the right place here.
It was good for a quick overview.

5.00The tour was very informative, and it was also very interesting to talk with Vanessa about the history of Japan. It was also very pleasant that Vanessa picked us up from the hotel. What we found a bit disappointing was that we assumed Jero would be doing the tour with us. The day before, no one had contacted us until we reached out to inform that our tour would take place the next day.
Excellent

5.00Our Tokyo tour with Franz was an amazing experience and honestly felt more like spending the day with a friend than being on a tour. Our guide was incredibly fun, easygoing, and made the entire experience memorable, and Jero and Hana were such a great time to be around as well. We saw so many great spots around the city and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo.
The best tour we have taken on our Asia travels this year !

5.00On our first day, I have booked the 6h tour of Tokyo, in order to learn about the local transport and to get to familiar with the place before we start exploring alone. Very shortly after the booking Jero was in touch with me to ask if I had any questions and was very helpful. Even before the tour started, I was really happy with the customer service provided. On the day, our guide Vanessa who spoke English and German as well as Japanese was absolutely incredible, providing background knowledge on the places we visited with just right amount of info on history and present situation. But most importantly we thanks to her we have managed to see SO MUCH ! In those short 6 hours we have seen Meiji Shrine, Takeshita street, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku , we took metro to Asakusa where we have seen the Sky tower, Omoide Yokocho, Senso-ji temple and my son also wanted to see Harajuku so that was our last stop. In short , without Vanessa we would have never managed to see so much in such a short time, I definitely recommend this tour it is worth every penny!
Exceptional

5.00Our tour guide was Vanessa and she was delightful. She met us at our hotel and made suggestions before we started. We opted to start at the farthest place first and we were on our way. Vanessa was very knowledgeable about all the places we saw and was able to answer all our questions! We had a great time with her and would do it again if she could be our tour guide!
Highly recommended!

5.00We were out with Vanessa. It was a private tour. Vanessa was very well-informed, and as a native speaker, it was of course beneficial for us that she could explain everything to us in German. She was also very proficient in the Japanese language. She was attentive to our wishes and schedules. We were able to design the tour very flexibly with her. We can only recommend it.
