What an amazing introduction to Japan

Yoshi was a superb guide. Really welcoming and friendly, he was a brilliant guide with lots of knowledge and took the time to show us some special parts of Tokyo. We couldn't have wished for a better intro to Tokyo and the Studio Ghibli Museum. Especially considering we were super jetlagged, Yoshi kept our energy up! Thank you so much!!

I myself enjoyed the time with a lovely couple of you. Thank you for coming!

Half a day with Yoshi

Using Go With Guide was initially the best way to access Ghibli museum when overseas access to tickets was restricted. However, over and above this, the best value to be had was enjoying Yoshi’s company for our ½ day tour. Highly recommend using this service and especially spending time with Yoshi to learn and experience more about Japan. The additional bonus was finding and sharing a great place to eat lunch.

Yoshi K.

Thank you for your heartful review. I am the one who was enjoying time with you and your lovely family.

Excellent Ghibli museum tour with Yoshi

Yoshi came early to meet us at the hotel. We took the train and walked through a local park to get to the museum. He told us many interesting facts about the museum and was great with the kids (6 and 12). It was tough to get the museum tickets as there were purchase limits, but he found a way to get us all in. It was one of the highlights of our Japan trip. We truly appreciate it! Thank you Yoshi!

Ghibli with Yoshi

Yoshi was an incredible guide. He knew so much about Studio Ghibli that it made our experience extra special. He was great with the kids, helped us navigate the metro and knew where to find really good sushi. Would highly recommend Yoshi to anyone interested in Ghibli.

Yoshi K.

Thank you for your comment. I also enjoyed the time with your lovely family. Have a great time for your rest of the trip!
