Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Personalized Tokyo experience”

We booked Melody for the first 2 days of our stay in Tokyo and WOW. I am so glad that we hired him! He curated a personalized experience for us based on our interests, limitations, and curiosities and he journeyed with our large family through Pokémon shopping excursions, eating experiences, and treasure hunts. He is so knowledgeable, kind, kid friendly, and all around brilliant. He answered all of our questions, silly or otherwise. I am especially appreciative of his tenderness toward my 62 yr old mother who has joint issues which means she has a hard time navigating stairs. Through his initial guidance we were able to navigate the rest of our trip. After spending two days with him he felt like a family member and we missed him the rest of our trip. You cannot go wrong hiring Melody as your guide through Tokyo. Thank you Melody! You always have a friend in the Powells in the States! We pray you reach all your goals and ambitions!

“If you want an amazing tour ….. that’s fun and educational book Yoshi ”

When you book Yoshi he sends you a list of areas to visit in Tokyo. Then he also asks what you would like to see in the area. He incorporated everything we asked for and taught us as we went. We went to the temples and shrines. He taught us about religion and the customs. Something we were worried about was using the subway system in Tokyo Yoshi showed us how to get tickets and then helped us travel all through Tokyo, which helped us throughout our trip. He was very personal he told us stories from his own life and childhood about Tokyo. I would do this within the first couple days of arriving in Tokyo it will help you so much with the city and the subway system. Also, it was an amazing time. When we talk about the trip, we usually talk about the tour with Yoshi. It’s amazing !

“Incontournables de Tokyo”

Virginie was very delightful and very accomodating given we had 2 members of our party that had one limited knowledge of English, the other limited use of French. She explained sites in both languages She is well versed in the Edo period of Japan and has great knowledge of imperial Japan and the now modern Japan All 4 of us quite enjoyed our time with her Thank you Virginie
