“Unforgettable day in Tokyo!”
We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Tokyo with Keiko! From the moment we met her, it was clear how passionate she is about sharing the history, traditions, and culture of her city. She has a deep knowledge of Japanese history and a real talent for making it engaging and easy to understand. Keiko was warm, kind, and attentive throughout the entire day. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and made sure we experienced both the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo. Her explanations were not only informative but also full of enthusiasm, which made us feel truly immersed in the city. What stood out most was her genuine care and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and having the best possible time. Thanks to her, we discovered so many details about Tokyo that we never would have appreciated on our own. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you want someone who is both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind, we wholeheartedly recommend Keiko!

“Una experiencia inolvidable en Kyoto gracias a José!”
Organicé un tour privado en Kyoto para mis padres con José, y estoy inmensamente agradecida por la increíble experiencia que tuvieron. De principio a fin, el servicio fue profesional, atento y profundamente enriquecedor. José no solo tenía un conocimiento increíble de la historia, la cultura y los tesoros escondidos de Kyoto, sino que también fue paciente y atento al ritmo e intereses de mis padres. Esto fue más que un tour: fue una experiencia verdaderamente significativa. Mis padres se sintieron bienvenidos, informados y atendidos en todo momento. Si buscas un guía en Kyoto que combine profundos conocimientos con genuina hospitalidad, no busques más y contacta a José!!!

“Great Day in Tokyo”
We had a great day with Shunta. He was great help in organizing our days (2). We personally planned the days. During our days, Shunta was wonderful when we wanted to change things quickly and see others things. We still managed to see all of what was originally planned. Shunta was very kind, organized and lead us through our day with ease. We would definitely recommend his services.

Hi Celine, Thank you so much for your kind and clear communication through the platform. I’m glad I was able to assist you on the day as well! Thanks to you, I also had a wonderful time. Please enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan, including Disney and the cruise! Best, Shunta
