We liked the guided tour with our guide Koba san very much! The Communication before the tour via email was easy with fast responses. We meet in time in our hotel. The program is very flexibel and was arranged as per our wishes. Our guide Koba san was very knowledgable, very kind and helpful. We learned a lot about japanese way of life. The schedule of the tour was adapted as per our needs and we made sufficient breaks. Overall a very good experience!

Thank you so much for the amazing tour of Tokyo! My wife and I had a fantastic time. The itinerary that our guide, Nobu, organized was spot-on for what we were hoping to see, and we really appreciated his help navigating and translating along the way.

Nobu was the perfect guide for us. With only a single day to explore Tokyo from our cruise ship, we hit all the major sights. Nobu was professional and engaging, providing great insights into Japanese history, religion, current economic conditions and challenges. Fabulous lunch at a local restaurant, and Nobu guided us expertly through the maze of subways connecting the various sights. Truly an amazing day, but for any non-walkers prepare for steps exceeding 25,000.

Nobu was flexible with where we wanted to go, very knowledgeable, and spoke good English. He made recommendations that we appreciated and taught us how to use the subway system throughout the day.

Having not been to Japan before, we signed up for this tour in hopes of seeing some Tokyo highlights and to get familiar with the public transportation system. While we accomplished those goals, our guide Nabu Sato was amazing and painted a picture of Tokyo and Japan that took our breath away. His command of Japanese history, sociology and economics combined with his willingness to offer his opinions gave us insights into Japan and its people that we would never have gotten on other “bus type” tours. We are walkers/hikers so the miles we walked were not problematic for us, but I am sure Mr. Sato tailors each trip for his client’s interest and abilities. Over the next two days we have traveled all over Tokyo with Suica card in hand, confident and ready to move on to Kyoto!

We got to visit many parts of Tokyo at a very quick pace but it didn't feel rushed. Our guide was amazing and made the tour very memorable. Would highly recommend!

This was a fabulous tour. We saw so much of Tokyo and I learned a lot about the history of the city. But be prepared to walk - I logged 26,000 steps and took countless subway rides. The guide was wonderful. We found a fabulous place for lunch too.

We had a fantastic day with Aiko. Not only did we learn to navigate the Tokyo train system we got to spend time at a number of interesting spots. Aiko also familiarised us with Tokyo which meant the following week we were comfortable using public transport to those locations which is an excellent way to get around. I would recommend any visitors to Tokyo do this tour early in your stay as it’s the perfect introduction to the City and surrounds. My daughter and I really enjoyed the day with Aiko as the tour felt very personalised and stress free.

Excellent experience with Nobu as our guide. He was prompt, responsive, and happy to accommodate custom requests for our tour- we gave a list of general interests and he was able to customize a day that worked in just what we were looking for. We booked a tour with him for our first full day in Tokyo and it was very helpful for us to "get our bearings" and navigate the city. Our guide was fun to talk to and we genuinely enjoyed spending time with him.
