“Great way to begin our visit to Tokyo!”
Thank you Atsuko for being so helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable! My wife and I arrived in Tokyo Friday night. We were in the city to learn and explore and to cheer on our daughter as she ran the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday. We met with Atsuko Saturday morning for a 6 hour tour. She helped us navigate the trains and subways in preparation for the marathon (so helpful). She took us to beautiful sites in the city, knowledgeably explaining the history, culture and traditions of each site. We had a lovely lunch together and a very pleasant day getting to know each other and the city. We couldn't have asked for a better guide for the day. Highly recommended! :)

“A lovely way to see busy and peaceful Tokyo”
Atsuko was a lovely guide. Not only was the tour a perfect blend of pace and activities but we enjoyed the time with her. She chose a perfect (not touristy) place for lunch and included Cat Street and vintage shops on the tour per our request. Highly recommend.
Atsuko T.

“Happy and Hassle-free Way to Tour Tokyo”
Tokyo is a fascinating city with numerous interesting places to visit and unique situations to experiences and enjoy - but, for a first time visitor, knowing what to do, where to go, and how to get there can be particularly challenging. Which is why our personal guide, Atsuko, proved to be worth every Yen of the cost to benefit from her service. Punctual, polite, personable, articulate in English and highly professional, having Atusko to advise us, help us navigate the railway system, walk from location to location, and share her local knowledge was hugely beneficial. Furthermore, having her on hand to translate and ask questions on our behalf was key to our understanding of Tokyo life and our overall enjoyment of the day. By the time we finsihed the tour, we felt as though we had gained a new friend.
Atsuko T.
Thank you very much such a wonderful review Keith! I had a great time with you and Sally. I really enjoyed conversation with yours. You told me a lot of things that I didn't know. Barbados is such a beautiful place and sunrise from your pool pictures are amazing! I hope to see you again someday. Thank you again and hope you have a nice day today.
