“ Exceptional Private Tour in Tokyo with Rene”
We had an outstanding 5-hour private tour in Tokyo with Rene, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Rene is an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly passionate about Japan’s culture, history, and daily life. From the very beginning, the tour was perfectly tailored to our interests. Rene explained everything in a clear and engaging way, sharing fascinating historical insights along with local tips that you simply wouldn’t get on your own. He was extremely patient, flexible with timing, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. What really set Rene apart was her ability to bring Tokyo to life—explaining traditions, modern customs, food culture, and hidden details that made each location more meaningful. The pace was perfect for a 5-hour tour, and we never felt rushed. If you are visiting Tokyo and want a personalized, informative, and memorable experience, I cannot recommend Rene highly enough. This private tour was worth every minute, and we would absolutely book with her again on our next visit to Japan.

“Six Hours in Tokyo with Rene!”
The walking tour with Rene was dynamic, engaging, sporty, and absolutely fun! Despite the little time I had, Rene managed to keep a great pace and seamlessly blend culture, food, history, and clear, insightful facts into every stop along the way. What began as a grey, chilly morning quickly transformed, thanks to her energy, into a nice, sunny, unforgettable day. Rene didn’t just guide the tour… she brought the city to life. Thank you, Rene, for an inspiring and memorable experience!

“The best layover in tokyo!!! ”
Rene is the absolute best!!!! I booked a tour with her to kill some time while we had a layover from Haneda. I gave her a comically large list of things we wanted to see and amazingly she got it all done!!!! She had an assistant with her named Kanta also! We only spent maybe 8 hours with them but they were so fun and friendly felt like we had been friends for ever! Ate Puffer fish!!!! Went to several historical sites, went to anime stores and several other must see spots. Will definitely come again and will definitely be using her in the future. Highly recommend and wish her the best success!

Tokyo West in a Day
This is not a tour about checking off sights. It’s a journey through the spaces between people and places in West Tokyo. From quiet forests to culture-filled streets, from the pulse of modern Tokyo to neighborhoods where life slows down— you walk not as a tourist, but as a temporary local. Your guide is not a narrator, but a companion. Through conversation, pauses, and shared moments, the day naturally becomes your own Tokyo story.
