We had an exceptional experience with Hello Tokyo Tours

5.00We had an exceptional experience with Hello Tokyo Tours, and a huge part of that was our wonderful guide, Keiko. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable, welcome, and at ease. She was incredibly warm, friendly, and patient, especially with our daughter, which immediately set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable day. Keiko shared her knowledge of the culture in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. She was thoughtful in adjusting the pace based on our energy level, which we truly appreciated since our legs were still sore from Tokyo Disney the day before. Thanks to her planning and local expertise, we were able to see all the major sights efficiently and comfortably, without unnecessary walking or stress. What stood out most was how well Keiko balanced cultural experiences with our daughter’s interests, incorporating anime highlights and a visit to the capybara café seamlessly into the day. She made sure everyone felt included and genuinely excited at each stop. From the booking process through the end of the tour, ( and even after with a follow up of other recommendations!) Hello Tokyo Tours provided top-notch service, but Keiko truly made the experience special. She didn’t just guide us through Tokyo—she made us feel cared for. We couldn’t recommend Keiko and Hello Tokyo Tours more highly, especially for families looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and memorable experience in Tokyo. The Lees
Miko is the best!

5.00Miko was an absolute joy to spend 2 days touring Tokyo with. She is very knowledgeable and adjust her style perfectly to accommodate the group she is with. We were a group of 7 with 2 very active kids. She was perfect for us and kept the kids very engaged the entire time. Whether it was special cotton candy or an arcade, Miko found creative ways to keep us all entertained. We would highly recommend her as a guide in Tokyo. Thank you Miko!!!!
Very enjoyable professional 6-hour tour of Tokyo highlights

5.00The Hello! Tokyo Tours team was very helpful and flexible while customizing our 6 hour Tokyo tour. They created a realistic itinerary focused on all of our highest priority destinations in Shinjuku, the Imperial Palace and Asakusa, plus an additional service dropping us off at Hotel Disneyland at the end of our tour. Our guide Miko was very friendly, patient, flexible, knowledgeable and professional. She maintained a comfortable pace, explained the historic context of each stop (came prepared with a photo book) answered all questions, helped with fortune sticks at Sensoji temple, and took family photos at each location. After my daughter expressed interest in Japanese treats, Miko included unplanned stops in Nihonbashi to enjoy onigiri, dashi and mochi at small family shops dating back to 1600 - 1700s. We also enjoyed Japanese treats from street vendors in front of Sensoji temple. The driver was very friendly, professional and patient. He managed difficult drop-offs in front of the Imperial Palace East Garden and bridge. He even recommended visiting historic Nihonbashi Bridge during our unplanned stops. I don't recall ever having a tour driver make itinerary suggestions. I highly recommend Hello! Tokyo Tours to anyone wanting to maximize their stay in Tokyo.
Excellent tour

5.00We had a wonderful half day tour with Yasu. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and showed us around in a pleasant, easygoing way. He gave us historical facts and interesting insights into Japanese life. Our driver was very capable and the vehicle was comfortable and air-conditioned - a welcome respite in the heat. We would highly recommend Yasu and Hello! Tokyo tours.
Fantastic tailor made visit of Tokyo

5.00We wanted to get away from the crowds and discover some of the less beaten paths of Tokyo, like Nezu Shrine, Yanaka, Gokokuji Temple, Kagurazaka and the Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden. The trip was absolutely great with Miko San as our guide and Nonaka San as our driver. Both are super professional and friendly. They both speak English, so we had no problems in understanding each other. We had expressed the wish to eat soba at a genuine local restaurant and we were not disappointed. We spent 6 hours together that just flew by with lots of fun, interesting conversations and lots of learning about Japanese history and culture. Next time we’re in Tokyo we will book this dream team again to explore new areas.

5.00Tour was amazing. You can customize anything you would like to do. Miko was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience seamless. Saw some things we didn’t think we had time for. She had wonderful suggestions and made the tour super memorable. Couldn’t recommend her more!!!! You won’t be disappointed.
Great time with Yasu

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed our experience in Japan with our 27 8th graders. Our main guide Paiva was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She provided a variety of experiences that our students are still talking about.
