Minako is the best tour guide - we had an amazing day trip. our guide Minako, was amazing, she was informative, on many levels, history, tradition, culture, and even added a special treat for us a concert at the temple with organ music, a wonderful tranquil experience. we could not have asked for a better guide.

Hakone Heaven with Yuji - This is the perfect tour if you’re a first time visitor and would like a guide to navigate you to all the sites along the Hakone loop. Yuji was fantastic, flexible in that we were able to move the meeting point to nearer to our hotel and was very attentive all through the day with a well planned itinerary. We were also lucky enough to see Mt Fuji and Yuji was great at taking all our pictures at every place, thank you for a wonderful day.

Tokyo Private Day Trip - Our tour was wonderful despite the rain, thanks to our guide, Take. He was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, anticipating small details like providing towels after food tastings and at the shrines, and adjusting our schedule so we could still see so much comfortably. His warm, approachable presence made it easy to ask questions about all the explanations, and he consistently went above and beyond, helping us navigate purchases, advocating for us, and ensuring we felt taken care of throughout the day. He even helped us get to our dinner reservation and taught us how to use the trains. When the tour ended, my family, especially my 11 year old boy, noticed the difference right away. Although this review is on the tour, the joy of the day was truly because of him. We are so grateful for the experience and highly recommend this tour. It was special because of Take.

A nice day in Hakone - Yuji was a great, friendly and considerate guide who explained etiquette to us in Hakone during a visit to the temple and accompanied us to the various sights such as the Tori on lake ashi, the ride on the pirate ship, the cable car and the view on Mount Fuji. Special thanks for the many beautiful family photos, many explanations and the great day. Thank you.0

Fantastic must do day out - This was a fantastic day from the excellent pre planning and ideas of how to personalise the day to the actual day. Noriko Sakurai Our tour guide arrived early and was full and f knowledge, helpful and a great guide making the day so interesting. We visited many places as well as stopping for drinks and lunch and learning how to navigate public transport. I highly recommend the tour and if you are lucky you also get this truly great guide. Thank you 🙏🏻

Not the expected experience - Our guide, Hiro, was polite and accommodating, and we appreciated his willingness to adjust the route when we made a few changes during the day. That said, the experience unfortunately did not feel like much of a guided tour. There was very little information shared about the places we visited, and overall the guide did not seem especially knowledgeable or engaging. Much of the day felt more like having an extra person walking with us rather than receiving meaningful guidance or insight. We were hoping for a tour that would add value beyond what we could have done on our own, and unfortunately this experience did not really deliver that. With more knowledge, energy, and initiative from the guide, it could have been much better.
