Tour was fun and full of facts. Yoko involved us in the tour and kids participated with a lot of energy. She was very helpful with plans for the rest of the holiday and gave us lots of important tips. Highly recommend.

(136 reviews)Thank you so much for writing a review soon after the tour. It was a hot day but it was a lot of fun meeting you and your family. I was especially amazed with Jenny being smart, full of curiosity and asking so many questions and Nick was so cute. I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday. Have fun!!
“An unforgettable day”
It was a true pleasure to spend a day with Yoko-san. Even before we met, she was super helpful with advice on hotels, transportation from the airport, etc. She also adjusted our tour schedule to follow the optimal route between the famous places in Tokyo, and to fit in the places we really wanted to see. We learned a lot about the city, and about Japanese culture and history in general. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much, Yoko-san!

(136 reviews)Oh, thank you so much for such a lovely review, Dmitri san!! We really walked a lot that day. Starting from Asakusa, lotus pond of Shinobazu and Ueno Toshogu, Tsukiji Market, Sakuradamon Gate and Nijubashi Bridge of the Imperial Palace, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Takeshita Street and Omotesando. I was quite surprised that both you and your wife Hui san was walking in sandals but didn't complain about the long walk. I had a great time with you, your lovely wife Hui san and smart and beautiful daughter Maria. It was so interesting talking with you and your family. I hope Maria makes her dream come true and I will be looking forward to your revisit to climb Mount Fuji. Thank you again for the lovely day and your generosity. Yoko
“Amazing Tour with Knowledgable Guide ”
Yoko introduced us to East part of Tokyo starting from Ginza and other sightseeing areas located at this sort of the city. Her knowledge and insights were very helpful for the first comers to Japan! Our group of 6 consisted of 4 adults and 2 kids. Yoko was flexible when we would request to make a change in our itinerary and she was able to suggest alternative on the spot. Yoko is a highly recommended tour guide for the family or couples.

(136 reviews)Thank you so much for your review, Katerina san. I remember I had a lovely day with your wonderful family in June. We had an amazing lunch at a sushi restaurant which has the capacity to let our large group in without a long wait. We went to Odaiba instead of the crowded Tokyo Sky Tree. I was glad that your daughter enjoy the ride which was like the Disney ride. There is so much to see in Japan, so please come again!! Thank you again for the lovely day and the review, Yoko
