5.00Being a first timer in Tokyo can be intimidating, but having Mio as our guide made me and my partner feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. Mio was very insightful on every part of the tour, asked us questions and helped us understand the shrine and its history. Her English is immaculate and overall made us feel very welcome.
I was so glad to book...

5.00I was so glad to book this tour with guide Takumi. We had visited during the daytime but didn't have any context about what we were looking at. A nice, quick tour that gave great information!

5.00This walking tour was simple wonderful. It was really lovely to have all the intricate details explained that we might have otherwise overlooked. Hana-san, who guided us, was so friendly and kind. She even was able to tailor the experience a little to us specifically as we went along. At the end of the tour we were planning to get dinner and Hana gave us a great recommendation for nearby. It was an incredible atmosphere and we are so grateful to have experienced this.

5.00My friends and I were visiting Tokyo for a few days, but we were all worried about where to go and what to do. I am so glad that we decided on this tour! Not only was it informative, but it was fun and interesting as well. Our tour guide had a bubbly personality, and the overall atmosphere felt less like a tour and more like having a local friend guiding us around.
