About Tour Guide Dan C.
Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I work as a Kindergarten teacher here so I design my tours to be very Family Friendly: stress free for the parents and exciting for the kids. I particularly love to make little packs filled with goodies for the kids so they can experience what Japanese kids do. I want my guests to experience a real Japan and I love teaching Japanese to the little ones. * Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are especially welcomed. I can make accommodations and plan a tour based on their unique needs.

“Perfect Tokyo Intro for Kids!”
Without a doubt I would recommend Dan for a tour to Tokyo! If you have children, Dan will be the best choice you make for your trip. He asks questions about them ahead of the tour and has specifically prepared itinerary and gift bag for each kiddo. He was so attentive to our 10&13yo needs. If this is your first day in Tokyo or your 10th, it is a great tour to to just focus on having fun with the kids and providing a good intro to Japan. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dan again anytime I return to Japan!

“A perfect tour with kids! ”
Dan was so fun and wonderful with our 2 boys (9 & 6 years old)! We had a great mix of history, nature, and fun, with little treats and activities along the way to keep the boys engaged. He helped us get our SUICA cards and taught the boys how to buy a treat on their own (using the Japanese he taught them) at the convenience store. It was an absolute highlight of our trip!

“Day 3 in Tokyo with the best Guide Dan!”
On day 3 we had an evening tour with Dan. Not only did Dan make touring educational for my kids but also made it so much fun! He thought them many Japanese phrases and encouraged them to use them when interacting with the locals. Dan taught us so much about the culture and different neighborhoods in Tokyo. We loved Dan and would 100% recommend him!
