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.

“Great 4 days with Prebu in Sri Lanka”

From pickup late at night at the airport to drop-off at airport traveling with Prebu was a joy Everything from the accommodation chosen (from the mountains to a beautiful beach front) where he would check us in and make sure we were settled to food choices was covered even on days when we would just spend time on beach Prebu was always there if you needed anything day or night His great driving on crazy Sri lankan roads was a highlight I would recommend Prebu very highly if you are thinking of a tour to Sri Lanka we have done many tours ie trip a deal for a similer price but its no contest between a car with just you and personal driver guide where you make your own pace each day or tour with 40 others Prebu is definately 6 stars

Tokyo One-day As You Like with Kaori

Apr 9, 2025

8 hours 30 min

“Great 1 1/2 days with Kaori in Tokyo”

I had a group of 5 adults in Tokyo for 1 1/2 days before boarding a cruise for the rest of Japan. We booked Kaori to tour us around, and she did a great job. We obviously didn’t have a lot of time to see such a big city, but Kaori put together a good itinerary to first hit the highlights on the east side, then the next 1/2 day the highlights on the west side. Kaori was flexible for our interests and able to explain the sights well.
