“Excellent information ”
Yuka, was excellent, she was very friendly and was keen to talk to us on the Japanese culture. We packed a lot in within the 4 hours. Highly recommend Yuka, without doing this tour we could have seen these sites but would not understand the history behind them.
“Tokyo made easy”
Toshi met is on our 1st full day in Tokyo. He was a lovely man and very knowledgeable. He showed us how the train systems worked which made the rest of our trip a lot easier. We visited so many things in the one day. I would thoroughly recommend taking his tour. One of the best decisions of my trip.

Spanish speaking Guide!! Medio día perfecto en Shinjuku
“Una tarde-noche muy agradable. ”
Hemos tenido la suerte de contar con Michiyo para hacer el tour por Shinjuku. Además de tener un español muy bueno, Michi es una persona encantadora e interesante. Adaptó el horario de la visita para que pudiéramos vivir Shinjuku en hora punta (18:00 a 22:00) . Ha sido una buena experiencia poder compartir con ella historias tomando unas cervezas en sitios elegidos. Y como valor añadido, nos ha estado sacando fotos (ella es fotógrafa) que luego editará y pasará! Un placer Michi!
