“ A Perfect Day in Tokyo with Tomoko – Beyond Our Expectations!”

Our day in Tokyo was absolutely out of this world! We had a group of 11 and chose to hire a driver so we could make the most of our limited time in the city. It was one of the best decisions we made, and having Tomoko as our guide made the day truly unforgettable. Tomoko was outstanding from start to finish. She planned a wonderful itinerary that included the Imperial Palace and its surroundings, Asakusa, Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Shopping Street, Tokyo Skytree Town, and the Harajuku and Shibuya areas. One of the highlights of the day was lunch that Tomoko arranged for us on the 30th floor of a skyscraper overlooking Tokyo. The views were incredible, and the sushi was outstanding. What made the experience so special was Tomoko herself. She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone in our group had a wonderful day. She walked with us through the shopping districts, helped us find the Onitsuka Tiger shoes that several members of our group were hoping to purchase, and never made us feel rushed. At the end of the day, Tomoko accompanied us all the way back to our cruise terminal, made sure everyone was safely back on the ship, and only then headed home herself. That level of care and dedication speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Tomoko is truly one of a kind. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and exceptional guide for a perfect day in Tokyo, look no further. I cannot wait to return to Tokyo and see her again. Thank you, Tomoko, for a memorable day that our family will never forget.

Dear Laureen, thank you for the wonderful review. You’ve been so generous with your praise that I feel like I could “crawl into a hole” (I’m a bit embarrassed), but I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Our exchange started in a very interesting way. I received an inquiry with almost the exact same details from another lady—whose name also starts with “L”—at around the same time. (She mentioned that you were traveling on a cruise ship and that your family consists of 11 members.) I immediately realized that you must be a very loving family.Even though we were both working and dealing with the time difference, I really enjoyed our detailed planning emails. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review despite your busy schedule after returning from your trip. I hope you and your family are all doing well. I look forward to seeing you again.‐ Tomoko

“Nice end to our 2 weeks in Japan”

We decided to book this trip as we’re were due to fly out of Tokyo late evening and we disembarked Diamond Princess at 8:00 am. The tour is as flexible as you chose and is a great way to fill your day and not worry about what to do with your cases. Great way to finish the most amazing 2 week vacation we have ever had.

Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I would be very happy if this tour became one of your favorite memories from your time in Japan ;)) Next time, please come and visit Japan in a different season! I would love the opportunity to show you a completely different side of Japan then! Kota

“The perfect night out for a family and two teenage boys ”

I booked the Tokyo Night Drive Wangan Expressway and Daikoku PA tour with Tim because I have two teenage boys who wanted to see the Japanese car culture at Daikoku PA. It was a fantastic evening and Tim was a great guide! All four of us had a wonderful time. Tim was a wealth of information not only in car culture, but Japanese culture as well. So many questions were answered. I recommend Tim for any type of tour you may be looking to do in the Tokyo area. He was a true professional and very pleasant to spend an evening with. Tyler E.

Thanks, Tyler, I’m really glad you enjoyed the night drive and that Daikoku PA lived up to expectations. It was a pleasure spending the evening with you, sharing a bit of Japanese car culture and Tokyo along the way. Thanks again for joining the tour and for the kind recommendation!
