“2 Tage Tokyo mit Yuki l.”
Wir haben 2 tolle Tage quer durch Tokio erlebt. Yuki l. hat für uns ein individuelles, auf unsere Wünsche zugeschnittenes Programm zusammengestellt. Sie hat uns viele schöne und interessante Orte gezeigt, die wir selber gar nie gefunden hätten. Mit ihrer perfekten deutschen Sprache hat sie uns auch beigebracht, wie wir die Verkehrsmittel wie Bahn und Metro benutzen können, um uns weitere Tage selbstständig zurechtzufinden. Ganz herzlichen Dank an Yuki l. Monika und Christoph

Yuki I.
Liebe Monika, lieber Christoph, vielen Dank für die zwei wunderbaren Tage! Ich schätze Ihre Flexibilität und Ihre offene Haltung gegenüber der japanischen Kultur sehr – vielen Dank, dass Sie auch die Änderungen im Programm so freundlich angenommen haben. Danke, dass Sie mich als Ihre Guide ausgewählt haben – und auch für die vielen liebevollen Geschenke! Ich wünsche euch weiterhin eine schöne und unvergessliche Reise!

“A splendid tour with Melody”
Hi Melody, Thank you so much for the wonderful day you gave us. Your tour was excitingly special and different with the heart of anime, manga, and electronic culture, Japanese girls as anime figures in maid cafes, and then a beautiful Shinto shrine and the imperial Palace. The old and the new. The living, vibrant city and the dead city. The Tokyo you showed us was fascinatingly different. Especially the unexpected and the non-touristy. A chrysanthemum display with flowerpots containing figurines and houses. The 'Shibuya crossing'—the most famous intersection in the world with six zebra crossings in different directions and thousands of people—was an experience. Sea anemone sashimi in the fish market restaurant was delicious, 'oishi.' On top of it all your personal explanations about Japanese life were super interesting and I'm saying that as a very curious journalist! I will highly recommend your services to my friends around the globe. Arigato Melody San!

Melody S.
Simone, thank you for the excellent review. It was the luckiest surprise that we met to know each other. I’m pretty sure you enjoyed very peaceful and energetic time in Tokyo. We walked 15 kilometers in one day and it is a new record, haha! Also, as a professional journalist, you gave me many intriguing perspectives not only about Japan but also about the world. Wish you the best. Arigato Simone San!

“Fantastic Tokyo Tour with Dai!”
We had a wonderful day exploring Tokyo with Dai! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible throughout the tour. The itinerary was well planned, combining famous landmarks with local hidden gems, and he made sure everything ran smoothly and comfortably for our group. We really enjoyed his stories, sense of humor, and the relaxed atmosphere he created. It was a perfect balance of sightseeing, culture, and fun. We truly recommend Dai to anyone visiting Tokyo!

Dai A.
Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Ahu. I also had a great time together with all of you. It was so much fun to walk around and talk with you. And I really appreciate your help, understanding and cooperation during the tour. Especially, you are a group of 8 people and some of them don’t understand English very much. That was so helpful. I hope you will have a fantastic cruise all over Japan. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your wonderful family. Thanks a million!!!
