Reviews

Private Tour - just what we needed!

Johnny was INCREDIBLE! Especially with our kids. We had a hard time finding a tour guide for families and Johnny was the perfect match. It was so nice to be able to just follow along with him instead of trying to figure out how to get to everything ourself. He customized our day to exactly what we wanted…a little bit culture, a little bit fun, and stuff for the kids (which us grownups loved too!). Definitely recommend Johnny!

The Perfect Tokyo Day with Johnny - Like Travelling with Family

Our day with Johnny was absolutely wonderful. My son and I instantly felt like we were exploring Tokyo with a cool family member who knows the city like the back of his hand. He thought of everything. Especially when it came to keeping a toddler happy, comfortable, and entertained. Johnny planned the day so thoughtfully. We visited a fun indoor play area (“Playground 4 Kids Shibuya”) which was perfect for my little one — and surprisingly cheap! He took us to Meiji Shrine for a gorgeous photo under the giant torii gate, wandered through “kawaii street” on Takeshita Street, and even introduced us to the sweetest Hamster and Hedgehog Café. One of my favourite moments was at Togo Shrine: watching huge koi fish, doing a fortune, making a wish, and exploring all the beautiful amulets. It was peaceful, meaningful, and so special. Throughout the day, Johnny adjusted our plans based on my son’s moods and what we were interested in. It made everything feel relaxed and perfectly tailored to us. He also introduced me to real, traditional mochi, which I absolutely loved! On top of all that, Johnny brought his own camera and took the most beautiful photos during the tour. They captured the day so naturally and are memories I’ll treasure. If you’re visiting Tokyo (especially with a child or family) I can’t recommend Johnny enough. Kind, fun, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our day with him.
