Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

Mexico

I am a young historian who has been working as a tour guide for 4 years. During this time I have met people from all over the world, which has taught me a lot about interacting with all kinds of people as well as showing my city in an authentic and interesting way. I like to take people to places that show another side of Mexico City, a closer perspective of how its inhabitants live day to day. I also enjoy taking photographs on my tours.

“Osaka full day tour”

I enjoyed my day with Yoshi as my guide in Osaka. From the start, in communicating with Yoshi ideas of an itinerary, he was helpful and flexible. In the end I landed on an itinerary that included Osaka Castle, Dotonbori , Shitennoji Temple and Shinsekai. Yoshi was informative about the sights we visited as well as answering questions that I had. Yoshi is highly professional and I am fortunate that I had him as my guide . Thank you Yoshi!

The arrangements with Van Transportation were easy and clear to set up. Follow-up communications were addressed quickly. Yoshi, our driver, was prompt, helpful with luggage and an excellent driver. We are looking forward to more trips with him behind the wheel. Yoshi helped us connect with him on Whats App so we could communicate updates as needed. We are very pleased with Van Transportation and Yoshi and highly recommend their services.
