Reviews

a rainy day in Tokyo

Our Tokyo 8 h privat car tour did not meet our high expectations. The itinerary was tailored to our needs, but we did not have the learning experience we expected, partly due to language and partly to lack of information provided.

Fantastic guide!

Mr Seigo was very communicative from the start, helping us with planning the itinerary. He was friendly, kind and happy to accommodate our requests throughout the journey. At every site we visited, he explained to us the history behind them. If you don't speak any Japanese, you don't need to worry as he speaks English very well. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend others to book with Seigo.

Kevin san, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to guide you both through the historic and scenic sights of Hakone. I couldn’t be happier to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I hope the rest of your trip in Japan will be filled with many amazing places, delicious food, and wonderful memories. Please continue to travel safely and enjoy every moment of your journey! Seigo

The BEST day in Tokyo.

Our lovely guide, Seigo-san, took us to 5 wonderful locations today. His knowledge of Japan’s history added color to our walks. There were no questions I asked that he was unable to answer. From our morning sojourn into Tsukiji Outer Market for some tuna, to Asakusa, The Meiji Shrine and the Odaiba Waterfront we expertly shepherded through the streets of Tokyo. It was a truly wonderful day. Thank you.

Gloria san, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a driving tour around some of Tokyo’s most popular sightseeing spots, and I genuinely enjoyed spending such a pleasant and memorable time with you. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan is filled with many beautiful places and plenty of delicious food. May each new stop bring you more special memories. I’m very much looking forward to seeing you again someday. Seigo
