Tokyo Private Tour Guides

“Sorry to Say”

UG is a very nice gentleman, but not a satisfactory guide. He did not know the basics of the two places he directed us to, the imperial Gardens and the Major Temple. I had to rely on ChatGPT for the relevant information. Also, he did not know where the appropriate entrances were causing us to walk quite a bit out of the way at the garden. Finally, his English is only OK. Ultimately we cannot recommend this Guide, but we wish him well as he is a very nice fellow.

“Enjoyable Walking Tour of Tokyo Neighborhoods”

We spent 3 days with Akira-san seeing a mixture of must-see highlights and residential neighborhoods. He tailored the tours to our interests and pace, and we had amazing meals and snacks. He has a serene and dignified presence, combining a calm demeanor with utmost professionalism. He made the entire experience feel effortless and enriching. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.

Hello Richard, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and thank you so much for having me for three days. I believe you could get a glimpse of Tokyo, and you could get an idea of what it is like to be a local in the city. I am so happy that we enjoyed our exchange naturally and I believe it all because of warm and kind personality that you and Suzan have. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely Akira P.S. Thank you so much for the bagful of delicious peanuts. I might be eating them until I get a nosebleed….!

“Best Guide/Friend in Japan - Shusaku”

My wife and I booked Shu for our first full day in Japan, and it was the best decision of our trip. We asked him for a custom service experience and he made it so easy. His energy was great from the moment he met us at our hotel. He thoughtfully looked over our itinerary and gave us ideas we used all week, then patiently taught us the trains so we could get around on our own. He was so kind and fun to talk to that it felt like exploring with a friend. He showed us hidden spots in Shinjuku by day, then took us out in Shibuya at night for yakitori, standing sushi, and drinks in Golden Gai. We never would have found any of it without him. Don't hesitate. Book Shu. You won't regret it.
