Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Excellent tour of Tokyo with Chiaki”

We had a great tour with Chiaki! She did an excellent job communicating with us before our tour, in order to understand our interests and develop a personalized tour. She checked in with us several times before our trip, and even helped explain how/where to get Suica cards when we arrived. We booked our tour with Chiaki for our first full day in Tokyo, which was a great way to learn the public transportation and our way around the city. Chiaki met us where we were staying, and then brought us to the beautiful and peaceful Kiyosumi Japanese Gardens, and then to the Fukagawa Fudodo Temple to observe the fire ritual. We would not have been able to navigate the process of entering the fire ritual without Chiaki, nor understand what was happening during the ritual without Chiaki. Chiaki was prepared with sheets that explained what was happening as we observed each part of the ritual. It was an amazing experience! After the fire ritual, she brought us for ramen, which was excellent. After lunch, we explored a quiet, non-touristy part of Tokyo with old-town atmosphere, where we walked through a market, cemetery, and visited Nedu Jinja. Chiaki spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. We had a great tour with Chiaki and it was a great way to spend our first day in Tokyo!

“Fun outing!”

Had a great time. Leandra was fun and very knowlegable.

“A perfect day in Tokyo with Yuki”

Yuki gave our group of 6 a truly wonderful and unforgettable day in Tokyo. She perfectly balanced our own wish list with her excellent local knowledge and showed us not only the places we wanted to see, but also additional spots we would never have discovered by ourselves. A special highlight was the authentic Japanese restaurant where she took us. The food was excellent, and it was exactly the kind of local experience we had hoped for but would never have found on our own. Even though our schedule was quite ambitious because we wanted to see so much, Yuki managed everything wonderfully and made the most of our time. She even showed us a few authentic corners of Tokyo away from the typical tourist route, which made the experience even more special. Yuki also speaks exceptionally good German and understands German culture very well, which made communication very easy and pleasant for all of us. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Yuki to anyone looking for the perfect guide to discover Tokyo in a personal, authentic, and enjoyable way.
