About Tour Guide Tan F.

Navigating Hakone's & Kamakura public transport means waiting in massive lines alongside hundreds of other tourists. A private car tour eliminates the transit bottleneck, letting you see the whole comfortably and effortlessly. I am an inbound certified tour guide who does immersive and comprehensive tours. My name is Tan & my Japanese name is Yuri (lily in English).I have been living in Japan since 2008. I have vast experience as a professional tour guide for a reputable bus tour company in Tokyo. I had tons of good reviews for Kamakura & Mount Fuji tours. I had seen Japan as a former foreigner's perspective. Thus, I know very well tourists' expectation to discover the hidden gems of Tokyo. I decided to conduct private tours to focus more on small groups and offer a more personalized services to my clienteles instead.

Please check my rates first before enquiring. Kindly be advised that my rates are based on my high quality immersive tours and qualification as a professional tour guide. Two roles in one price, guide & driver. "This platform involves a premium commission rate" that I need to pay.
