“Awesome Highlights of Tokyo 1-Day”

With no time to plan and very little research, I hastily booked a stop in Tokyo during legs of international travel. I found Seigo's profile online and we started exchanging messages via GoWithGuide. He massively helped me optimise my time to see some great wonders of the city. I expressed a desire to immerse myself in Tokyo, so Seigo suggested we ride the trains, walk around some of the famous shopping areas, dine in a carousel restaurant, and of course see the major shrines. This is exactly what we did, and it was a blast! We began the day with Seigo meeting me outside my hotel – he was prompt at our meeting time and had an itinerary with a few options ready to discuss. We ran through the list and then set off, walking to the train station to ride to the Meiji shrine. At the shrine, Seigo was a fountain of information about the shrine itself, landmarks, cultural significance, and more. I had lots of questions – Seigo was great in entertaining all my queries and was fun to talk to. He also had some great advice on dos and don’ts at the shrine. From there, we visited fun parts of the city, including the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the five-storied pagoda in Sensoji Temple, many shopping streets, and finally the Tokyo Tower. As a guide, Seigo was great – he has expansive knowledge of the city and sights, and at every stop he asked me what I was most interested in. There were several times during the day we set about a new direction based on my input as we went along – he was really flexible, and that made everything easy and fun. At the end of the day, Seigo rode the train back to the station nearest to my hotel. I was happy to walk back on my own (about 1k), but he made sure I had the route set on Google maps, and then checked-in later to verify I’d made it home alright. Overall, Seigo was a pleasure to be with, planned a really fun day, and adapted on-the-fly to my preferences, making everything simply a delight. I highly recommend Seigo as a guide.

Hi Steve, thank you for booking my two-day tour. You were too busy to see many things in Tokyo and around Fujisan, but I tried to meet your requests, including the highlights and a few off-the-beaten-path places. I am pleased you enjoyed Day 1 traveling around Tokyo by train and subway. Looking down from the observatory of Tokyo Tower may have given you an idea that Tokyo is just huge. I hope you return shortly to have much more fun in the big city. Seigo

“Felt like traveling with a friend”

Dan was amazing. He went above and beyond in planning and fulfilling a bucket list trip to Tokyo. Dan, not only listened to my ideas, bought offered great suggestions and fulfilled a must see trip list in Tokyo. He was fun, engaging and made you feel like an old friend. Would definitely recommend!!!

“Best day ever!!”

My friends and I were in Kyoto for two short days. We booked Kaori for one day to show us as much as she could. What an amazing day, time and guide. Kaori brought the magic of Kyoto to life with her amazingly planned tour. She was attentive, informed and engaging. She spoke beautiful English and worked overtime to make sure we had the perfect experience. Easily my favorite day in Japan!!’
