Thumbs Up for Taka

5.00We got lucky and got a private tour with Taka. He was great. We both were impressed with how fast the four hours went by. His English is very, very good. The tour was a nice mix of history and general information about Japanese culture. I was happy we had this tour because it really packed a lot of stuff in that we probably wouldn’t have seen or appreciated otherwise.
Excellent walking tour

5.00walking tour - he is friendly, knowledgeable and fun, so we had a great time! He also tailored certain parts of the tour to suit our interests, and spent more time in areas that appealed to us. The sites were very enjoyable to visit, as we stayed in Shibuya which is the new part of Tokyo, so seeing old town and the more traditional side (but with pop culture weaved in!) was awesome. Highly recommend!
Outstanding content and guide!

5.00Hiroshi was a great guide! I ended up being the only one on the tour so it was a great experience! He was very knowledgeable. I definitely got much much more out of the tour than I would have wandering around by myself. The tour was all-encompassing including cultural things I had no idea about like the Maid Cafes. Definitely recommend this tour!
Would absolutely recommend!

5.00Hiro was an excellent tour guide - very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The tour itself was great, around four hours of exploring. We learnt a lot and had a great time!
You should go hang out with Taka
