5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Do in Tokyo – Especially with Jero! If you’re visiting Tokyo and want to experience the city beyond the usual tourist traps, this private walking tour is a game-changer. I cannot recommend it enough—especially if you get lucky enough to have Jero as your guide. From the moment we met him, Jero made us feel like locals. He’s warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable—not just about Tokyo’s history and culture, but also the little hidden gems you’d never find on your own. We wandered through charming neighborhoods, visited shrines, and learned fascinating stories behind everyday sights. What really stood out was how personal the experience felt. Jero tailored the tour to our interests and pace, answered every question with enthusiasm, and even gave us recommendations we ended up loving after the tour. His love for Tokyo is infectious, and his energy made the whole day feel like a fun adventure with a good friend. If you want to feel connected to the heart of Tokyo—not just see it—book this tour. And if Jero’s available? Even better. He’s a gem.
Great tour, excellent guide

5.00As a first-time visitor to Tokyo, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin my trip than with this fantastic four-hour private walking tour. From the moment we met, my guide Jero was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for Tokyo was evident in every story he shared, whether it was about history, culture, or hidden local gems. Jero tailored the experience perfectly to my interests, striking a great balance between iconic sights and off-the-beaten-path spots I never would have found on my own. He answered all my questions with insight and enthusiasm, and even offered helpful tips for navigating the city after the tour. This experience gave me a deeper appreciation for Tokyo's rich culture and vibrant neighborhoods, and I felt more confident exploring on my own afterward. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time—and if you can request Jero as your guide, you’re in for a truly memorable experience!
Jero's Tokyo is amazing!

5.00Anyone visiting Tokyo should take this walking tour with Jero. His passion and respect for this city and the Japanese culture makes for a great adventure. Tokyo and the surrounding districts come alive through his stories and interesting points. Jero even took us to some hidden places that provided moments of reflection and reminded me of Tokyo from long ago. The pace of travel was perfect, allowing us enough time to rest, refresh and journey on. My sister and I now have a new and dear friend. We look forward to visiting again. I wish there could be a higher rating than 5 stars, Jero is the best!
