Tokyo Private Tours

“Dai is great!”

Our whole family, including two teenage boys, loved our tour with Dai. He was a consummate professional. He taught us about temples and shrines, but knew the spots and took photos of our family, helped us try interesting snacks and food. He was funny and the boys really liked him. He really knew what he was doing and also just a good guy.

“A great day with a great guide”

I couldn’t recommend Suichi as a guide enough. We spent the day to the ghibli and edo architecture museum with our two young daughters ( 7 and 5 ) wich is never easy for a guide. He was thoughful all the way and everything was very well thought out. Thanks again Shuichi san.

“Great start to our four days in Tokyo”

Chiaki was an outstanding guide and made our first full day in Tokyo both enjoyable and incredibly helpful. She picked us up at our hotel and tailored the day to include exactly what we had hoped for, including learning how to use Tokyo's public transportation. She patiently explained the transit system as we traveled, and by the next day we felt confident navigating it on our own. She also took us to beautiful gardens that we never would have discovered by ourselves and to a local temple for a fire ritual that was a real highlight of the day. To help us understand the ceremony without disrupting it, she had prepared printed cards explaining what was happening, and she even reserved seats for us while we stepped away to use the restrooms. It was such a thoughtful touch. At the end of the day, she took us to Senso-ji Temple, which we had requested. Although it was extremely crowded, she shared the history of the temple as we walked through. We were especially glad she had included a visit to a quieter temple earlier in the day, where we could enjoy a more relaxed and authentic experience. Chiaki is knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about giving her guests a great experience. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend touring Tokyo with her.

Thank you so much Erin, for your thoughtful and detailed review! I’m truly delighted that your first full day in Tokyo was such a positive and memorable experience. It was a pleasure helping you become familiar with Tokyo’s public transportation so you could continue exploring with confidence. I’m also glad you enjoyed the garden and the fire ritual. Thank you for trusting my suggestions. I always hope to introduce my guests not only to Tokyo’s famous landmarks but also to places where they can experience the city’s unique atmosphere at a more relaxed pace. The day was a pleasure for me, too. It was especially interesting when Andy talked about the memories of his first visit to Tokyo, playing Pachinko and getting the rush hour subway! It was fun spending the day with you, and I sincerely appreciate your recommendation. I hope you left Japan with many wonderful memories, and I would be delighted to welcome you back to Tokyo someday! Arigato!
