5.00Bongo was knowledgeable, flexible and very engaging. He took us on a very enjoyable and thoughtful tour of the sights and delights of Shinjuku over about 3 hours and left us with dinner suggestions that were absolutely a perfect end to a wonderful day. We are coming back for more in a few days!

5.00Bunga was an outstanding private tour guide and helped make our entire Japan trip incredible. He helped us plan our full itinerary, including our time in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, which made everything smooth and stress-free. In Tokyo he helped us navigate the train system and ensured we saw so much of the city without feeling rushed or exhausted. He perfectly balanced sightseeing with time to truly enjoy each experience. His knowledge, organization, and genuine care for our experience made all the difference. We highly recommend Bunga to anyone visiting Japan, he truly goes above and beyond.

5.00I have traveled a lot while working on ships and have the travel bug. When my daughter's sports team planned a trip to Japan, I knew to make the most of it I would need local help. I first found Bunga and his videos which were full of great information. I reached out to him and working with him has been very easy. We met twice virtually to plan the itinerary for our time in Tokyo. He offered suggestions and recommended we pivot our trip to over night in Hakone which was well worth it. Bunga met us the afternoon we arrived and got us acclimated to Ueno. He helped set us up with transit cards, and met our kids where they were at after a long flight in. Bunga's knowledge and passion for the city is infectious. He look us on a day long walking tour where he shared his knowledge of the area, the customs and unique facts that you would be hard pressed to learn otherwise. The day felt like we were hanging out with a friend. His photo suggestions were great and I will be connecting get again w Bunga when we return to Tokyo.
What I appreciated most was how friendly, patient, and attentive he was throughout the tour.

5.00I had an amazing experience with my personal tour guide in Japan. The tour was well organized, informative, and tailored perfectly to what I wanted to see and learn. My guide was very knowledgeable about the culture, history, and local spots, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and engaging.

5.00Bunga did an excellent job for us on our trip to Tokyo. Based on my input before our trip, he put together an itinerary of places and activities that fit together logistically. He has a deep knowledge of Tokyo and Japan and he shared many details of them with us. As first-time visitors to Japan, we had many questions which he patiently answered. I highly recommend hiring Bunga as a guide for your trip to Tokyo.

5.00Ron customized a tour for my husband and me. He did his homework on what we wanted to see in Tokyo. The result was a magical adventure weaving through many curious neighborhoods, some crowded tourist spots and more off the beaten paths. Ron was patient with our questions and requests. We are very grateful for his local knowledge and we would have never seen any of these places or things if we have done it on our own. Highly recommend Ron’s customized tour! You will not be disappointed.
