Best tour of Tokyo!! - This tour was the absolute BEST tour we had on our trip to Japan. Rika was phenomenal! She reached out days in advance to ask about our interests (we were with two teenage girls) and she sent back a proposed itinerary right away. She was so fun to spend the day with! We got to just relax and follow her all over Tokyo without worrying about anything. On top of all of that, she sent me a detailed guide on how we could navigate the next day in Tokyo so the girls and I could shop all over the world’s most populous city. She was the reason we were able to figure out the train system for 8 hours the next day to shop. She went above and beyond!! Thank you, Rika, for being the highlight of our trip to Japan!!

Local tour of the Nippori Fabric Street and surrounding area - Rika 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! - We 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!

Great private tour in Tokyo - Our 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 - We 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!

Fantastic experience - Fantastic experience with Kanako! She went above and beyond by visualising our daily plan on a map to ensure a smooth trip. She is organised, proactive, and a joy to explore Tokyo with.

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

Great tour! - Our 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!
