“Great customised tour of Tokyo with Toshihiro ”
We've had 2-day customised tour of Tokyo with Toshihiro recently. He is very knowledgeable, flexible and attentive guide. Thanks to him, we've managed to explore some of the best places in Tokyo. He shared with us many interesting historical fasts and stories. He expertly created a private tour for us including our requested locations. After using the underground system for our tour under Toshihiro's guidance, we were much more confident of navigating it on our own. We highly recommend him as a guide. Many thanks!

Thank you for the brilliant tour review with a nice photo, Ellie-san. It was a memorable two days tour for me. You researched wonderful touristic spots in Tokyo well. Considering your interests and curiosity, I am sure that very unique and pragmatic itinerary was made. During the tour, sometimes unexpected matters happened. But you were very friendly and cooperative. Thank you very much again. It seems that the last day in Tokyo you visited all your favorite places by yourself. Please come to Japan again in the near future.

“One day highlights of Tokyo . ”
We were met in our hotel lobby by Toshihiro for an eight hour tour of Tokyo by foot and public transport. This is our first time to Japan and we visited a lot of the top places to see in Tokyo, Toshihiro gave us lots of information on each place including the history and traditions . We had a wonderful lunch of sushi in a restaurant at the Fish Market , the freshest sushi that we’ve ever eaten . We used the Metro and trains a lot which gave us invaluable information for using them on our own the following day . I would highly recommend Toshihiro as a guide , he was very friendly and informative , this was a fantastic start to our holiday in Japan . Thank you Toshihiro.

Thank you for the outstanding tour review, Julie-san. Unfortunately it was rainy on the day of the tour. But you were very cooperative. We could visit all of the top places to see in Tokyo as planned. When I explained the history and traditions on each place, you listened to me carefully and asked me some questions. I felt that my job was worthwhile. Thank you again. I am also glad to hear that the sushi we ate at the Fish Market was the freshest sushi that you’ve ever eaten. I am relieved as you could do your own tour by using local public transportation on the following day. I think that you are already an authority on Japanese tourism. Please enjoy the rest of the days!

“Great day in Tokyo with Toshihiro ”
This was our first visit to Japan and we only had a short time in Tokyo so we made the decision to book a guide to show us the main sights. I am so glad we chose Toshihiro. He responded quickly to my questions before the tour and everything went to plan on the day. We covered a lot of the main tourist areas on foot and by metro. It really was a full day but we couldn't possibly have done it on our own. Toshihiro was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot during our tour. Also after becoming familiar with the metro system we felt much more confident using it the next day on our own. It was a great tour and we will remember it for many years to come. I would highly recommend Toshihiro especially if you are a first time visitor to Tokyo.

Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Lisa-san. You have already travelled various countries in the world including some Asian nations. It was my honor that I could guide the experienced tourists like you especially who came to Japan first time. I enjoyed walking a lot of the main tourist areas with you. Conversation with you facilitates my understanding of international situation of tourism. It was really helpful. You surveyed touristic spots in Tokyo well and understood Japanese culture and history. I am glad as you gave me such an excellent tour review. I am sure that you experienced amazing traditional events in Tokyo on the next day of my tour. I know you will visit other cities in Japan by a cruise ship. Bon voyage!
