“Sehr sch?ne und unterhaltsame Tour”
Vielen Dank an Yukiko für die interessante Tour voller Erlebnisse und Geschichten. Die Kombination aus traditionellen und kuriosen Dingen, aus Natur- und Kulturstätten. Und am Ende noch ein echter Insider-Tipp für ein Restaurant in Asakusa. Wunderbar!

“Off the beaten path tour.”
Akira will take you to places where locals go for lunch and the best shaved ice. We also stopped by for a coffee made with love. If you are looking to visit Tokyo, off the beaten trail, then, I would highly recomend. Many thanks to Akira, who has been an amzing guide.

(312 reviews)Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the day with me. It was so much fun to walk in the city with wonderful people like you and your family that I (and I assume you too) had forgotten about unpleasant weather that day. Thank you so much for having me as a guide and thank you so much for paying respect to locals and their culture wherever we went, I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Tim D is the bomb!”
This was our first trip to Tokyo and was nervous about navigating transportation. Tim D was a perfect guide for me and my daughter (young adult)-Tim met us at airport and was gracious about our delayed arrival and did a great job teaching us about transportation/finding best route to get to airport next day. He also was great at creating an experience that gave us a taste of nightlife, given we only had a few hours. I'd would completely recommend Tim D. as a guide/companion. Top-notch!

(7 reviews)Hi Deb! Thank you for the great review. If I was the bomb, it was because you and your daughter were a blast to be around. We had a great time and even found a hidden gem sushi shop. Thanks so much for joining me. Please join me again on your next trip to Japan!
