Tokyo Private Tours

“Great tour experience!”

Dai was great! We appreciated him meeting us at our hotel. From there, we took a bus to the Shinjuku Station. He showed us how to pay for the fares and how to use the machines. We did 2 half day tours (4 hours each) and he took us to 3 different locations. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was also very patient and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, Dai! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tokyo!

“Tsukiji Market Tour Done Right!”

We had a wonderful experience touring the Tsukiji Fish Market with our guide, Keiko. She was professional, punctual, and spoke perfect English, which made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Her historical knowledge of the market was immediately evident and she helped us navigate the maze of stalls, steering us away from the more touristy or lower-quality options and guiding us toward vendors known for their top-notch ingredients. While we initially thought we’d be snacking our way through the market, Keiko suggested a different approach and recommended a sushi restaurant just a few minutes away. She even made reservations for us in advance. Best. Decision. Ever. The meal was outstanding and a perfect way to cap off the morning. Keiko truly knows the market and elevated our experience far beyond what we could have managed on our own. Highly recommend booking with her if you want to experience Tsukiji like a local insider!

Melinda-san, thank you very much for your wonderful comments! From the beginning, you had informed me that you are all food experts as well as food lovers, so I was looking forward very much to introduce our superb products to you and to hear your comments on them. I couldn't be happier if the items that I chose met your expectations and appeased your palate. During your cruise you will perhaps be coming across a great variety of local foods, many of them featuring the natural taste of its ingredients, very simple but very tasty dishes. Please savor Japan! Keiko

“Perfect Day with Akira”

We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide, Akira, on our first day in Tokyo! He was punctual and professional, setting a perfect tone for the day. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and neighborhoods gave us such a rich and meaningful introduction to Tokyo. What truly stood out was how personable and engaging Akira was — it felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend. He was thoughtful, flexible, and made sure the tour suited our family’s interests and pace. Akira showed us some of the more local neighborhoods of Tokyo and we appreciated seeing how locals live away from the touristy areas. It was the perfect way to start our time in Japan, and we’re so grateful to have had Akira as our guide. Highly recommend!

Dear Melinda, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad that you felt that the tour made a good introduction of Tokyo. And also, I am so glad that you felt you were exploring the city with a local friend because that is exactly what I am always hoping for. I hope you got the idea of what it is like to be a local in the city, through walking in the neighborhoods, observing locals in the streets (in the subways), and exchanging with locals for the rest of your Japan trip. It was so much fun and interesting experience to guide nice people like you, Jeffery, and your wonderful two sons, Clay and Ryan. I can easily predict that you will have a great time in Japan because this country love jolly, thoughtful, and respectful people with happy vibes like Kollingers. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
