Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“The Best Tour Guide in Japan”

Tac was an outstanding guide and our day in Yamaguchi Prefecture was the highlight of our entire Japan trip. What stood out even before we met was how much preparation he put in. After our initial inquiry, he reorganized our itinerary into a more logical route without us even asking. He created a detailed, beautifully designed booklet covering the history of each site, maps of Tsunoshima, the best viewpoints for photos, and restaurant recommendations with pictures and prices. He even drove the route with his wife beforehand, swapped out the original restaurant when it didn't meet his standards, and found specific photo spots we never would have discovered on our own. On the day, his knowledge at each site was impressive but never overwhelming — he knew exactly how much context to share to make everything feel meaningful. His English was excellent and his personality made the whole day genuinely enjoyable. The planning, the scouting, the brochure, the music in the car — every detail was thought through. He clearly cares deeply about giving his guests a great experience, not just completing a tour. If you're looking for a private tour in the Fukuoka or Yamaguchi area, we can't recommend Tac highly enough.

“Awesome day with Mido!”

I had an awesome day exploring Tokyo with Mido - he had a great personality and we covered a lot of ground - we went to the food market, to the tip of the government building, around Shinjuku and Shinbayu and to various areas to see the cherry blossoms. Mido was the perfect guide for a casual day of exploration in Tokyo, it felt more like spending the day with a friend - highly recommend!

“Unfortunately tour didn’t match our expectations ”

We booked a private tour because we wanted to discover some hidden gems in Seoul and know about non-touristy spots. During the tour, we walked through DDP, along the fortress wall, and visited a small temple with a romantic story behind it, but overall there were not many memorable highlights. Our guide was a pleasant lady, but throughout the four hours it often felt like we had to come up with questions ourselves in order to learn more about Korean culture and daily life. There was not enough information provided, and a third of the tour was spent walking in silence in rain. Since rain was expected that day, we hoped the route would be adjusted in advance, but it seemed like the guide was improvising most of the itinerary on the spot. Because of this, the tour did not feel well planned, and we spent a lot of time without a clear structure. We were really hoping to see more unique and interesting places, but unfortunately the tour did not meet our expectations, how ever tour guide was very nice as a person and it’s a pity that tour went in the wrong direction.
