“Truly efficient tour of Tokyo”
We had only a few hours to spend in Tokyo and Toshihiro-san did an outstanding 7‑hour tour of Tokyo. His deep local knowledge, clear explanations, and friendly patience turned a long day into one of the trip’s highlights. We loved how he balanced iconic sights with great food stops and practical transit tips — we left with full stomachs, perfect photos, and a much better sense of the city. We will plan to visit for a longer time to explore this fascinating city that has contributed so much to the world. Highly recommended

Thank you for the amazing tour review, Vikas-san. It was a kind of a layover tour to go back to your country. You were in Tokyo only short hours. I highly appreciate your challenging spirits to try to experience Japan in spite of the short stay. This Tokyo tour was done between early afternoon and evening. Some touristic spots are appropriate to visit in the morning. It was not easy to make the itinerary. But you were very cooperative. Thank you again. I highly recommend that you come to Japan again with three weeks for the entire country, at least four nights stay in Tokyo. Late March cherry blossom season would be nice.

“Great way to see Tokyo in a day”
We had a fun day with Toshi exploring Tokyo. We saw a lot of the sights and had a really good lunch at a sushi restaurant. If you are only in Tokyo a short time then I would recommend Toshi as your guide. He was informative and has a good sense of humor.
Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the brilliant tour review, Ian-san. You had visited various places in Japan for two weeks. We visited unique spots in Tokyo on your last full day in Japan. You already knew Japanese culture and life style very well. I enjoyed conversation with your family. I am very glad to hear nice comments from you. Please come to Japan again in the near future.

“So Efficient”
We went all over the place and covered a lot of ground. We saw so many sights and stopped at great places all over Tokyo and little places here and there to eat. For lunch we wanted hand made Udon and he knew of a place immediately and is was sooo good with an inexpensive price. We are a family of 4 and he took great care of all of us!
Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the outstanding tour review, Garry-san. You investigated well about modern popular spots for family. Tour was slightly customized. In Tokyo, some areas are not appropriate for lunch. But you were cooperative to eat lunch at the area where there are many restaurants. Thank you very much. You are still in Japan and will visit many other places. Have a nice trip!
