Tokyo Private Tours

“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!

“Shinjuku izakaya/bar tour”

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!!

“An Outstanding, Personalized Tour with Tim”

Tim was fantastic from start to finish. We told him from the beginning that we wanted more of a freestyle experience rather than following a rigid itinerary, and he completely understood what we were looking for. Throughout the day, Tim paid attention to what we were enjoying and continuously adjusted the tour based on our interests. He was incredibly flexible, making changes on the fly, adding things he thought we would appreciate, and spending more time in places that caught our attention. Nothing ever felt rushed or scripted. That flexibility made the entire day feel personal and spontaneous. Tim was knowledgeable, easygoing, accommodating, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience. By the end of the day, it felt like the tour had been designed specifically for us. We had an excellent time and would absolutely recommend Tim to anyone looking for a knowledgeable guide who listens to his guests and is willing to adapt the day around what they actually want to see and experience. Five stars without hesitation.
