5.00No words can express how fortunate we were to have had Mr. Kasama guide us around Tokyo. He had a wealth of knowledge to share with both my mother and I, and we definitely saw some of not only the best spots but also very important spots for the history of Japan, and important for its people. Not only did he come and get us from the hotel room to get us to the stations we needed to get to (not gonna lie, the subway system is downright confusing if you’re not prepared), but after the tour, he even made sure we got on our correct line to get us back to our hotel. This was a great experience, and if ai were to ever return to Japan and want another tour of Tokyo, I will most definitely want this great guy being our guide again! I really can’t say enough good things about him, and how great of an experience it was!
Experience Tokyo like a local…,

5.00Sam was the best! This was our first trip to Japan and I wanted some help on our first day in Tokyo. Sam reached out a few weeks prior to our trip to help build an itinerary. We were met at our hotel and everything was easy after that. There was a lot of walking but that was due to the points of interest we selected. It was also nice to get some history and background on the places we were visiting. Sam found us a great spot for lunch and worked around some dietary restrictions. The day flew by and I wish we could have Sam back for another day.
Fun and informative walking tour!

5.00Hiroshi was wonderful. He was very informative and took us all over Tokyo. This was by foot and train, but we saw a lot. On top of things, he took a 1 hour train from Tokyo to come pick us up at our hotel In Yokohama and then we took the train back to Tokyo. He was attentive to every need and was willing to show us whatever we wanted to see. I woukd highly recommend.

5.00The weather was torrential rain, but our tour guide Mayumi was full of sunshine! Mayumi was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and eager to present a tour we would enjoy. She asked about our interests and delivered a tour that was interesting, varied, and enjoyable. From the Meiji Shrine and museum to the Takeshita Street, our tour was a perfect taste of Tokyo in a day. Mayumi was able to help us navigate the Tokyo transit quickly and smoothly. Many thanks for a very memorable day!

5.00We had a great experience on May 1 with our guide Yukie Tachibana. She was very friendly and provided excellent service and history of the sites we visited in Tokyo. She was great at navigating the city using the train system.

5.00The tour of Tokyo was our first time in this wonderful city. Haru our tour guide made recommendations based on our priorities, which resulted in an unforgettable joyful experience. His insights into what many Japanese people have when we visited the Temple and Shrine opened our eyes to better understand the Japanese people. We are thankful to Haru for his efforts with us.

5.00We had the pleasure of having Kei as our guide for the day. He met us at our hotel near Yokohama station. What a relief that was. We would never have managed to see all the things that we did never mind navigating Tokyo’s massive train network. Kei educated us on the history of Japan while we zigzagged across the city. We also had time to enjoy a wonderful lunch with him. We would highly recommend this tour especially if you have limited time in the city. Kei, thanks so much for your vast knowledge of your beautiful country we have a much better understanding of the Japanese people and your culture.
