Tokyo Tour Reviews

A Shu-in for your Tokyo guide!

Shu was a perfect guide for our family of five’s first day in Tokyo! He was right on time to meet us at our hotel and was super friendly right off the bat. With great energy, Shu showed us around a couple of districts- a good combination of both the old and modern Tokyo. He also had great tips for food stalls and restaurants. Thanks for an memorable intro to Tokyo!

Gran experiencia

Nos enseñó cosas muy chulas, respondió a todas nuestra dudas, y nos ayudo con las compras que quisimos hacer. Además, nos llevó a comer a un sitio super especial. Agradecemos mucho su tiempo y su compañía, y recomendamos la exxperiencia a todo aquel que quiera hacer una visita en la ciudad de Tokio.

From First Steps in Tokyo to a Perfect First Day

This half-day tour with Ritsuko was exactly what we needed at the beginning of our trip! She met us at our hotel and started with an incredibly useful Tokyo Station orientation, showing us how to navigate the station and prepare for our upcoming Shinkansen journey. That alone saved us so much confusion later! From there, she brought the history and traditions of Meiji Shrine to life before taking us into the colour and energy of Harajuku. We finished with a fun conveyor-belt sushi lunch that everyone loved. Practical, fascinating and beautifully paced, this tour gave us both a memorable morning and the confidence to explore Tokyo. Ritsuko was warm, knowledgeable and wonderfully flexible throughout. An exceptional guide and the perfect introduction to the city. Thank you Ritsuko!!

Hi Aisha, Ellie, and Arleen, Thank you so much for taking the time, especially during your trip, to write not one but two such warm and thoughtful reviews. It means a lot to me! From the moment we first met at your hotel, I also felt that we connected naturally. We discovered that we had similar tastes, including some of the same favorite movies, and I also really enjoyed learning about Bermuda from you. Looking back, I think splitting the tours into morning and evening was definitely the right decision, especially in the summer heat. We also had that sudden rain, and since it was your first full day after such a long journey, I’m sorry that by the end of the day it became a little too much for Arleen. Even so, I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with me and that what we did together helped you feel more confident during the rest of your stay in Japan. Thank you from my heart for choosing me as your guide for a trip to Japan that you had dreamed about for so many years. It was MY pleasure to be a small part of that journey. I also hope our paths will cross again someday. Till then, all the best!
