“Shimbata Hidden Gem”

Four of us had a wonderful experience w Chaiki who met us at the Harumi cruise port for a tour of Shimbata. We loved using our Suica card to take the bus and subway out to this neighborhood of Tokyo. We enjoyed walking the charming pedestrian street filled with traditional shops selling moochi candies and hand made udon noodles and other Japanese delicacies . The street was filled with Japanese families on a Saturday outing to the neighborhood and shrine. We enjoyed the shrine and walking in the lovely peaceful Japanese garden spending so much time observing Japanese families celebrating special rituals for new babies and seeing children in tiny kimonos that we had to head to our lunch reservation We had a fabulous time at a susnhi turntable restaurant where we ate ramen and delicious assortment of sushi. We made a stop at the dollar store to buy some reading glasses and saw the Sky Tree tower and free city views from the 36th floor of the building next door. We enjoyed getting to know Chiaki, who was knowledgeable, warm and cheerful and accommodating to our needs. She is a lovely person and we felt very fortunate to have her as our guide. The tour was definitely a highlight of our Tokyo visit! We mingled with Japanese people as they enjoyed the weekend day which made it that much more special. Chaiki helped in so many ways, making sure we got in the correct bus back to our ship at the end of the day. It was overall a great time and we r so glad to have engaged Chaiki and cannot recommend her enough! Thank you — thank you — thank you!!

“An Unforgettable Tokyo Experience with a Fantastic Guide!”

Booking Marciel Hardy through GoWithGuide was the best decision I made for my trip to Tokyo! From the moment we met, Hardy effortlessly guided me through Tokyo's dense web of trains and subways, helping me seamlessly navigate the crowds to drop off my luggage at my hotel. What truly sets Hardy apart is his dedication and thoughtfulness. On our first day, a few tightly timed stops meant we narrowly missed the closing times for the Imperial Palace and Meiji Jingu. Without missing a beat, Hardy took full accountability and kindly offered to take me back to the Imperial Palace on Sunday as a personal apology. He even generously treated me to lunch that day! His ability to pivot and make sure I didn't miss out on anything important showed what a consummate professional he is. Thanks to his wonderful planning, I got to experience everything from the ancient beauty of Senso-ji Temple to a spectacular Ukiyo-e art exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum, ending with a fun souvenir shopping trip in Akihabara. Hardy is knowledgeable, reliable, highly adaptable, and incredibly kind. If you are looking for a guide who truly cares about making your time in Tokyo magical and stress-free, I cannot recommend Hardy enough! Thank you for an amazing trip!
