Great first day in Tokyo! Amir took us to Meiji Jingu, Yoyogi Park, Takeshita, Shibuya Scramble, the statue of Hachiko, and so many other places. This was a great way to get our bearings and feel comfortable exploring this vast city on our own. Amir is so kind and full of energy!
Great tour with one of the best guides!

Nobu was an incredible tour guide! He took us around on our first full day in Tokyo and showed us the shrines and imperial palace. He was so full of information, and such an easy, great personality. The kids loved him and my 11 year old who is sometimes a bit shy was talking Nobu's ear off. Highly recommend him and the tour, which he tailored to exactly what we wanted. And an added bonus, after the tour he showed us his Rubik's cube skills!

We had a great day with Nobu. It was a private tour so he contacted me in advance to discuss my family’s preferences and was very easy going when we tweaked our itinerary along the way. He is knowledgeable and easy going and felt more like a friend we were traveling with than with a tour guide. Thanks again!

Mari was so much fun to spend the day with. I wanted to do something a bit unusual for our walking tour, and she didn't disappoint. She definitely knows the city and all the best places. We had fun together. Thanks, Mari!

We enjoyed seeing some sights and eating food of Edo era Tokyo that we would have not seen otherwise.
