“Great Private Tour”
We booked a full day Private tour with Shunta. He was wonderful during the booking process, accommodating our requests for various changes to the original schedule. He met us exactly on time and we started the we had planned. During the day we saw other things we wanted to stop to see and Shunta was vey accommodating. Regardless of the add ons (there were a few), we still got to see everything that we had planned. Shunta was also very considerate, it was an extremely hot day, and he ensured we stopped at places for breaks when necessary. Shunta was vey kind, funny and extremely helpful. We could not have had such a great day or seen nearly as much without him. We plan on recommending his services to our friends and using him when we come back!

Great experience seeing Asakusa and Dai provided useful information regarding shrines and customs that we were glad this tour was scheduled early in our trip. Thanks Dai!

“Excellent tour with a fabulous guide”
So Ritsuko has been really an excellent guide: she took us around the main spots of Tokyo, but half of the itinerary was done to include specific places we had asked for, combining the must see places with our personal interests. Worth it, surely I would recommend Ritsuko.
