5.00Rika organized a lovely “off the beaten path” tour that included the fabric street in the Nippori area at my request. She was very informative about the history of the area and also bright U.S. to two lovely local shrines. I would highly recommend her tours.
Fantastic introduction to Tokyo!

5.00We had a brilliant day with Hina! She is a lovely and knowledgeable guide, who took us through the history and culture of Tokyo. We discovered traditional sweets and learned a lot about Shinto Buddhism and worship. Hina was very helpful with everything and took great care if us. She provided lots of recommendations for us to consider for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend Hina for your great day out in Tokyo!

5.00Our guide Yuko Higashi planned and led us through a wonderful day tour in Tokyo. We saw historic Tokyo in the location of the oldest temple in the city, modern Tokyo at the Aquarium, and everyday Tokyo on the subways and at a delicious Ramen lunch at a tiny restaurant with a delicious meal. Despite the pouring rain and cold weather she selected a great mix of sights and activities and left us with warm memories of our visit.
One amazing day in Tokio

5.00We spent an amazing day with Miwa. She had a difficult task, since we only got 8 h to vitis Tokio but she made it amazing experianceand a beautiful and fullfilling sample of the city. She was changing the plan by the intrest of the members of our family, the plan was flexible according to the things we were most intrested in. We made it safely on time to the cruise ship with all our souvenirs, belly full of delicious sushi and a head full of memories and phones full of photos. We wish we had more time! Thank you a lot and hopefully see you again!

Hidden gems in Tokyo

5.00We had the most fantastic tour with Hina-san. Hina showed us various hidden gems, gave us an oversight in the Japanese culture and thoughts. It was the best tour we ever had and are in awe of all we learnt in those hours. Hina is a excellent guide who goes above and beyond to ensure that all expectations and needs are met. Strongly recommend to book her and the agency if you are looking for the perfect guide.
Great first day in Tokyo

5.00Tour was designed around what we were interested in. Travelled mostly by train and great to have the guide as the stations are enormous.

5.00Our guide Saya was wonderful. Highly reccommend. Above and beyond the tour, she included information about the culture and navigating the city that will make the rest of our trip easier and more enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time and appreciated the places she added in our loose requests that we wouldn’t have known to ask about. Absolutely a great choice to do this as an introductory tour on our first day in Tokyo!
Great Personalized tour

5.00We loved our tour guide, Momo! She picked us up from our hotel and showed us around Tokyo using the Subway and train. She explained many interesting facts about the Japanese culture and their history, answering our questions and tailoring the tour to our interests. She even showed us unique places to get special souvenirs and try local cuisine. We had such a good time we spent the next day touring around with her again! We feel like we've made a new friend. She was so friendly and easy to be with. She made our 40th wedding anniversary special, even taking pictures for us like a professional photographer. Thank you, Momo!
