Tokyo Private Tour Guides

“Great knowledge, flexible and an expert at what he does.”

Atsushi was a great guide. We had some different needs as we wanted to get familiar with the train system, pick up some pre purchased train tickets and see some essentials of Tokyo if that was possible within a 4hr window. Atsushi wove together an experience that got us familiar with the train system and etiquette, helped us pick up tickets at Tokyo Station, wander through the gardens of the Imperial Palace and visit the major Shinto Shrine before a visit to madness of Shibuyu Crossing and a safe delivery to our return train. What was even better was that he managed to include some essential insights into the Japanese culture, traditions and psyche during those experiences without making it sound like a lecture tour. We appreciated his ability to weave all of that together with the added complication of a rainy day. A great experience put together by an expert.

“Excellent guide even in troubled weather ”

We booked with Melody for a Hakone tour at the last minute due to a canceled tour with another guide. It turned out to be a very positive twist of fate. Melody asked questions and made recommendations to give us a great custom tour. The weather turned very bad, with storms and heavy rain. But with Melody's guidance,we still had a very pleasant, albeit wet day. He never once complained or suggested we cut the tour short. He was a trooper who did everything he could to makes it as fulfilling a tour as possible. He also has a very good grasp of history and is very willing to share and educate his clients. Thanks again Melody. I'm sure this is a tour neither of us will forget.

Eddie, thank you very much for the wonderful review! Meeting you both was such a wonderful surprise. We visited Owakudani, Lake Ashi, the Hakone Checkpoint, and Hakone Shrine. The ropeway ride in the rain and storm was quite an adventure! For lunch, we enjoyed tonkatsu, hitsumabushi, and seiro-mushi. I will never forget such a unique trip and the wonderful day we spent together. I sincerely hope you make many more amazing memories during the rest of your time in Japan! Until we meet again!

SHUSAKU is a great guide. I thoroughly enjoyed all the places we stopped at and he was able to provide all the answers to my questions about shopping, foods, etiquette, etc. he went above and beyond. Even after the tour was over he took the time to send me some more info on some of the stuff I mentioned on the tour. Thank you again Shu!!
