Japan Tour Reviews

“Flexible, knowledgable and fun”

We loved our day with Ayumi, we had to change travel times and plans, she was incredibly accommodating and flexible with us. She went out of her way to help us find a toy for our son, knew great spots in Kyoto and if she didn't know something she quickly researched and found what we wanted. She was also very easy to get along with and a great conversation partners.

Dear Yelena, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your warm words really mean a lot to me and will keep me motivated. I truly appreciate you sharing your valuable time with me. I was so inspired by both of you and how you noticed all the small beauty along the way. I hope to see you all again in the future! Best regards, Ayumi

“Our Favorite Guide - Bobby Gave Us an Unforgettable Day in Hakodate!”

Bobby was the best tour guide we had during our travels! From the moment we met her, she was energetic, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. Her friendly personality made us feel instantly comfortable, and her passion for sharing her city made the entire day special. We absolutely loved our time with her and honestly didn’t want it to end! She put together a wonderful day that was perfect for our group of five. We visited Hakodate Morning Market, explored the star-shaped Goryokaku fortress, enjoyed lunch at Shunka, and took in the views from Mount Hakodate. We also explored the Motomachi historical area and the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses. The variety gave us a wonderful introduction to Hakodate, with a mix of food, history, scenery, and time to enjoy the city. Everything was taken at our own pace, which made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Bobby was attentive to our group, and her enthusiasm and energy brought so much fun to every stop. What truly set Bobby apart was her warmth. She made us feel like welcome friends, and it was a pleasure to experience Hakodate with someone so passionate about her hometown. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Bobby, for a wonderful day and some of our favorite memories from our trip!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a warm and thoughtful review. I’m truly flattered, and honestly, I feel like I could cry happy tears! I’m so grateful that I had the chance to learn about what you were hoping for from your trip and your food preferences before we even met. It helped me create a day that was just right for your group. Thank you for trusting me with your special day in Hakodate. But more than anything, it was your warm and cheerful personalities that made our time together so special. I truly had such a wonderful time with all of you. 8 hours sounds like a long time, but it went by unbelievably quickly because we were having so much fun! Your smiles and this beautiful review are treasures to me. And knowing that the Snow Fairy souvenir, chopsticks, cards, photos, and all the little memories from your time here may bring back thoughts of Japan and Hakodate in the future makes my heart feel so warm. I hope you’ll have the chance to visit Hakodate again someday, perhaps with a little more time to stay and explore beyond the city as well. If you ever come back, I would be absolutely delighted to show you another side of Hakodate and some deeper local experiences in the surrounding area. I truly hope you have a wonderful time for the rest of your journey. Thank you so much again for giving me such a special day and such a precious memory. With warmest wishes from Hakodate, Bobby

Private Tours in Japan

Learning about Japan has never been easier with our local, expert tour guides leading the way, from a tour through Okayama, to the inner gems of Shikoku.

Ready to take on Japan’s sites and go beyond the usual? Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Quarter is a beautifully preserved Edo-period district, and with a knowledgeable tour guide, you can encounter traditional architecture, willow-lined canals, and charming shops. From historical context, to share stories about the area, it’s time to see the land of the rising sun the right way.

To see a side of Japan not commonly noticed, talk to a local tour guide about peaceful pockets of relaxation like Iya Valley, a rugged setting with high cliffs, vine bridges, and traditional thatched-roof houses waiting to be explored.
