Tokyo Private Tours

“A Must-Book Guide for First-Time Visitors”

If you’re visiting Japan for the first time, I can’t recommend Grant highly enough. From the moment we met, he tailored the entire day around our family’s interests while also making sure we gained the confidence to navigate Japan on our own. One of the most valuable parts of the tour was learning how to use Tokyo’s transportation system. What initially felt overwhelming became easy thanks to Grant’s clear explanations and hands-on guidance. That knowledge alone made the rest of our trip so much more enjoyable. Grant also customized our itinerary and was incredibly flexible, even adjusting our plans on the fly to accommodate special requests we made during the tour. Nothing ever felt rushed or scripted. What truly sets Grant apart is his deep knowledge of Japan’s history and culture. He didn’t just show us the sights—he brought them to life by providing fascinating historical context that made every stop far more meaningful. Our first day in Japan couldn’t have been a better introduction to this incredible country. Thanks to Grant, we left feeling informed, confident, and excited for the rest of our journey. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting Japan.

“Top sites of Tokyo”

Yoshi toured us around many sites using trains (1 day pass) and was very prepared with additional photos. He is knowledgeable and has great English.

“A wonderful experience ”

We are so glad we booked this tour. Navigating Shibuya station is no easy task! But Yuki made it seem easy. The Shinkansen was a highlight for us! We loved our time in Kyoto, especially O’Hara - beautiful authentic Japan - away from the crowds. Yuki shared his passion and knowledge of the area with us. It does get expensive when you add in all the tickets and meals but we were aware ahead of time.

Dear Laurian, Thank you for your review. It was a great tour of Kyoto where we covered Ohara Sanzen-inn Temple in addition to popular places like Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Fushimi-Shrine. We had a nice lunch at Ranzan in Arashiyama and at a casual restaurant in Ohara. We had to change Mt. Fuji tour to a Tokyo tour because of the weather on that day. The Shinkansen is very expensive, but it makes it possible to visit Kyoto in two days. Please give my best regards to your family and Agam.
