“Exploring Tokyo”
It was an excellent but tiring day. Carol was excellent!

“Fun Tour With Tak ”
Takuma (Tak) was a lovely, funny, attentive tour guide…and he’s absolutely fluent in English which was important to us. His pre-trip communication was prompt and clear. We exchanged quite a few messages as we wanted to customize the tour - he was flexible and advised us as to what was feasible, given our time constraints. And he was able to pivot quite well when we ended up spending too much time shopping (our fault).

“Tokyo Holiday ”
Dear Yuki, Thank you for taking us around and it’s our second time using your service again as our guide after almost 9 years . Thank you for being so patience with our grandson and took us shopping Pokémon and waited half an hour just to pay for his toys . We enjoyed the sushi lunch at the Toyosu Fish Market . Thank you for the recommendation. Wishing you all the best and maybe see you again in the near future . Thank you Jane

Flexibility is the hallmark of a personalized tour, ensuring that your preferences take center stage. Have a love for subcultures? A private tour guide can lead you to Shimokitazawa, a Bohemian enclave known for its niche boutiques, old-school shops, and live music venues. It’s all up to you!
Yes, especially if it's your first time traveling to Tokyo. The capital city is fast-paced, from the crowded streets of Shibuya and Akihabara to the fashion-conscious Harajuku district.

Most importantly, guides take away the hassle of planning every detailed step of your tour. Are you ready to get started? These Tokyo Tours are waiting.
