5.00Amir is passionate and enthusiastic about the places to see on the tour. He goes out of his way to make it personalized, interesting and fun. The tour was worth the trip and I wish we had more time to have Amir show us around other parts of the city.

5.00This tour showed us some popular sites, with our tour guide, Noah, filling us in on the histories and nuances of each place. We saw the Harajuku area, the Meiji jingu shrine, Takeshita street, and the Tsukiji fish market, which we especially loved. We walked a lot, and also hopped on the local metro to get around, with Noah's guidance. Noah is a very informed, smart guide, he clearly understands the history of Tokyo and is well educated and insightful. He's also funny, warm, engaging, and enjoys what he's doing. He does a great job communicating and skillfully steered us to excellent food to try at the Nishiki fish market. He's built relationships with local vendors who seem to trust and like him very much. Would highly recommend Noah as a guide!
