“Bad experience overall”
At times, things don't go as we expect; there may be a setback, a failure, or simply a bad experience; we are all human, which is why it's understandable when some aspect of the contracted service is deficient. But there are occasions when the entire service is deficient. That was the case with the guide. What happened? Suffice it to say that we only endured 3 days out of the 6 we spent in Tokyo, and despite not knowing the Japanese language, we decided to venture on our own instead of continuing to use the guide's services. I recommend ensuring that the guide is thoroughly familiar with the locations they will be taking you to and is well-informed about schedules, timings, and distances so that the day can be enjoyable. I clarify that our experience with her was for a full-day tour in Tokyo and its surroundings, and we were in contact with her approximately 50 days prior, during which we shared ideas to plan the tour days, yet we still felt they were very improvised. I am unaware of her performance in visits to specific places. I regret having to leave this review.
“Tokyo in the cherry blossom”
I guide was great, she was at the hotel on time taking on a route that was adapted to us and the wheel chair, she took us to places where the walking was much simpler and could see the cherry blossom at its best. She also took us to a lovely restaurant where we could eat my wife's favourite tempura prawns. thank you

“Very Good Guide !!”
Our party of 4 spent three most enjoyable and informative days with Shinya Endo. He was well prepared to show us the sights. Rain made it necessary to adapt the itinerary and he easily adapted. Shinya was accommodating when we expressed interest in things outside of the usual. He patiently and repeatedly showed us how to use the ticket machines for the subway system. He was knowledgeable, clearly explaining as we went along, and also very helpful in suggesting restaurants when we asked for suggestions. At the end of our time with him, we all felt that we had a friend in Tokyo. A five star guide.
