About Tour Guide Dai A.
Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world.
I’m crazy about traveling around the world.
I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries.
So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling.
I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before.
Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area.
I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan.
You can arrange your own itinerary as you like.
Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions.
I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.

“Great Tokyo tours for kids!”
We had a great time with Dai, who was extremely accommodating as we had changes in our initial schedule and then again changes on the day! His knowledge of Tokyo made us save a lot of time, and he also catered the tour so our boys ( 9 and 13) could discover, enjoy and shop in Tokyo! Thanks again Dai for your flexibility and making two boys wanting to come back to Tokyo for more! Aymeric

(245 reviews)Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Aymeric. I also had a great time with all of you. I was so glad to be able to see that your cool two boys (Finn and Ryan) enjoyed shopping and gaming in Akihabara and having a huge rainbow cotton candy in Harajuku. That was super fun! Also I really appreciate your understanding and cooperation during the tour. I hope you will come back to Japan again soon and visit other beautiful cities as well. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your wonderfully awesome family. Thanks a million!!! Merci beaucoup!!!
“Amazing Tour with Dai!”
We had a fabulous tour with Dai. It was our first day in Tokyo and we hit so many places - it gave us a good overview of the city so we could choose where we would like to spend more time during the rest of our time in Tokyo. Dai was fun, knowledgeable and patient (we had a 3 month old with us). It was a Saturday so things were a bit busier but he made sure we all stuck together :) I highly recommend Dai for your Tokyo tour! Thanks Dai!!

“Whole day walking tour with Dai.”
Dai contacted me a few times before the tour to confirm. He was at the hotel minutes before the appointed time. We took the Metro and went to all the places we earlier agreed upon. He would always see to it that we use the elevators because there are a lot of stairs in the Metro, and I’m truly thankful because I have some issues with my knees. The Imperial Palace was not included, but he still managed to bring us there. It was really tiring, but I didn’t realized we were able to go and see those important places and landmarks. He also had us experienced those tasty street food. Overall, I’m so glad I chose and booked Dai and his tour. Truly appreciate it, Dai. Good luck to you…and more travels for you!
