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.

“So much fun”
We had a fabulous time on our Tokyo tour with Dan. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). All 9 of us enjoyed the tour with Dan. He was very friendly, knowledgable and fun. He came well prepared with snacks and lollies to bribe the kids. The kids had a ball...and so did we. Thank you very much Dan.

“Fantastic Tour”
Highly recommend this tour. Mt Takao is just gorgeous. Dan is an excellent guide and taught our 14 year old daughter to speak Japanese phrases, which she enjoyed. Nothing was a bother and the tour was adjusted to what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend Dan for tours in Japan.

“Fantastic Tour for Kids”
Great tour guide, my 14 year old daughter enjoyed learning Japanese phrases. Dan assisted us with getting our Suica Cards and booking our Shinkansen tickets as well has helping us navigate the train system. Tour was tailored around us and what we wanted to see and nothing was an issue for Dan. Checked in to ensure that we made our way back to our hotel that evening. We got to see everything that we wanted to on the tour, which would not have been possible with out Dan, with our short time in Japan. Highly recommended for families.
