Great day out - Our guide was Claire. She couldn’t have been more helpful. It was our first day in Japan, she showed us how to buy a train ticket and navigate the train station. I had a list of places I wanted to see and Claire took us there, and showed us many things along the way. She selected a great spot for lunch, based on what we felt like eating. Never felt rushed, nor just standing around. You can be our guide anytime Claire. 😀

We thought this was a car tour, rather than walking. Still a bit jet lagged, so planned on visual rather than physical activit - Our guide Viv was awesome. She explained the trains to us, helped us get some health supplies, took us to a used camera shop, to her favorite sushi shop, and pretty much every place we had on our list. She was Australian, but Japanese certified so helped us find what we needed. When she first met us she said this was our tour, and could be customized just for us. She never made me feel bad for asking for breaks, when my legs were tired from walking. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, and Viv in particular. Just be prepared for walking!!

Stress-free Tokyo Tour - The fully customizable aspect of this tour worked very well for us. My partner and I arrived in Tokyo a couple of days before beginning a 15-day small group tour that traveled to other cities and ended in Kyoto. The Tokyo sites included in the formal tour did not visit all the must- see highlights that we had on our list. After signing up for the Customizable Tokyo Tour, we were contacted by our guide, Vivian. I responded with a list of the sites we wanted to visit during our eight hour tour. It was a very easy and comfortable process. Vivian was a good listener and promptly responded to my questions. After only a few email exchanges she had the information she needed to develop our tour. Vivian was a delight to work with. Due to her experience she was able to craft a tour that included more than what was on our list. She was also able to make the city come alive and provided a lot of information and context to help us better understand Japan in general and Tokyo in particular. Since this was our first visit to Japan, we were intimidated by the size of Tokyo and the complexity of the subway and train system. It was a huge bonus that Vivian met us at our hotel and off we went to explore the city. We had a great time! Vivian was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our interests and our desired pacing.

This customizable tour a... - This customizable tour a great way to start a trip to Tokyo. It was our first time, and Vivian assisted us in navigating the train system as we explored. She communicated well prior to the tour, was flexible with the itinerary and time, and made suggestions regarding other places we might want to visit. There is no doubt we were able to see much more of Tokyo in one day than we would have without her guidance.

A tour to remember - This was an outstanding tour by Vivian! She expertly navigated us all all over Tokyo showing us many sights and places that we found fascinating. We ended up trying a variety of great food that she recommended as we explored Tokyo and also got to find some souvenirs that we are really excited about! Vivian is very easy to chat with and has great insight into a large variety of topics, this made downtime between locations pass by extremely fast. Bonus points if you're into anything true crime related, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Tokyo crime related which was fascinating. In summary this is the tour to book if you want to truly feel taken care of and have a great time.

Helped me get a tattoo in Tokyo! - I wanted to get a tattoo while on my recent trip to Tokyo, but I didn't know how to start. I learned about this package from some people who took Vivian's Kabukicho Macabre Tour. I felt that the pricing was fair to essentially have someone help me find a good tattoo parlor and help translate for me the things I was looking for. I ended up getting a nice tattoo at a great little place I never would have found otherwise. I'm going to hire her again next time I'm in Tokyo to go see some nightlife spots around Shinjuku.

Rainy walkabout in Tokyo - Vivian was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, personable without being too familiar, and not at all at fault for the lousy weather the day of our tour. She increased our knowledge of a place entirely new to us. Were we to order this tour again, we would specifically request her.
