Tokyo Private Tours

“Unprofessional, Non Collaborative and Disregard for Safety”

Avoid this tour if you expect a professional or collaborative experience. While Yoko was knowledgeable and responsive before we booked, her demeanor during the tour was unacceptable. She behaved like a principal dictating to students rather than a guide for a group of experienced international travelers. Our group of 5 adults from the United States included 2 seniors in their mid 70s. Key Issues: Total Lack of Communication: Despite this being a "customizable" tour, Yoko refused to give clarity on how far the next destination is, and the order of sights. Even when we explicitly asked for a roadmap of the day, she provided little to no information and simply demanded we "follow her." Disregard for Seniors: Our group included two seniors (70+). Yoko showed zero empathy or consideration for their physical needs, never checking on their pace. She was never with us and kept walking at a faster pace. Safety Incident: The breaking point was when Yoko rushed into a train and pressured the rest of us to hurry in behind her. This reckless haste nearly caused a fall for one of the seniors in our group with the door closing and hitting a senior in our group. We felt disrespected, unheard for much of the day. We paid for a high-quality, flexible tour but received a dictatorial experience that was a frustrating waste of money. While Yoko looked out for lockers, helped with finding vegan food options, told us where to get souvenirs, is knowledgeable as a tour guide, her demeanor, behavior towards us, and the negative experience far outweighed the positives. I would not recommend Yoko’s services.

“Great tour ”

We had a lovely tour with Yoshi - he took us to all the major sites we wanted to see, and more, and he was very patient with my two boys (7 and 10). We booked it on our first full day in Tokyo which helped is orient ourselves and decide where we wanted to visit again. Be prepared to keep up, because he walks fast (this coming from a New Yorker who loves to navigate the crowds)!!

“Super knowledgeable guide”

Yoko san was absolutely incredible Super energetic, knew Tokyo inside out, and navigated the train system like a pro without missing a beat Made everything smooth and stress free while sharing so much knowledge about the city and its history 10/10 recommend
