Tokyo Private Tours

“Anime and Pokemon heaven”

Grant was an amazing guide. We described the things that were important to us and he took us to places we never would have found on our own. We had a really wonderful day.

“Amazing experience seeing the best of Tokyo with Melody”

This was my first time using gowithguide. I usually just look up places I want to visit and make my way. I can’t tell you how glad we were that we found Melody and booked this tour. We had a limited time in Tokyo (one week) so planned our tour for the first day. Melody was able to meet us at our hotel, teach us how to use the train system efficiently, and show us some of the best sites in Tokyo. He was able to arrange a private booth for us at the fish market that served the best Sushi and Miso. Having a guide who can translate is tremendously helpful if you don’t speak much Japanese. This private experience is less like being on a tour and more like having a friend from Tokyo show you around the city they love. We hope to return and would definitely book Melody for another tour.

Darren, we went around to so many places—it was such a fun day! The funniest moment of the day was when you realized that the total bill for three people’s best-quality sushi came to only $60, and you almost went back to the sushi restaurant because you thought, “This is way too cheap… maybe they charged us the wrong amount!” That sushi place is unbelievably affordable and delicious. What I always try to do is treat my guests like friends or family. As of 2026, that’s something AI still can’t replicate. I’m really glad you booked me on GoWithGuide and that I was able to meet both of you. And thank you so much for your perfect review from an algorithm professional like yourself (an inside joke that only we would understand, haha).

“Incredible night to remember with our new friend Melody!!”

I was initially hesitant to book this tour as Golden Gai is heavy with tourists so I figured a guide wouldn’t be needed. I’m so glad that I booked, and booked with Melody! Not only was he able to show us the best spots in the area, but at my request he was able to get us access to areas normally frequented by locals to get a more authentic experience. Areas that could only be found by locals. We felt less like we were on a tour and more like we had a local friend that was showing us the best locations and experience. Anyone can go to Golden Gai and go from small bar to bar, but to truly experience the area from a local perspective is unique and I can’t imagine anyone better than Melody to give you that view.
