Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Grant provides excellent guidance ”
We had the pleasure of having Grant introduce myself, wife, and two friends, to Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Grant's in-depth knowledge of both Japanese landmarks, culture, and food, is remarkable. I highly recommend hiring Grant as your tour guide to Tokyo. Grant know Shinjuku well, and will explain all aspects, including present day highlights and he will dig deep to Japan's historical past that aids a new traveller with a keen understanding that will make the most of your vacation to Japan. Schedule him early on if possible. If not, schedule him in anyway. You will be thankful you did.
“Cherry Blossom Tour!”
We had an exceptional tour experience with Grant, an outstanding 5-star guide!! Every moment spent walking, talking, sharing stories with his expert knowledge was truly enjoyable. Grant's generosity and thoughtfulness in finding the perfect photo spots made our experience even more wonderful!!
“Great start to our trip”
We asked for a few hour tour with Grant to see Cherry Blossoms around the city. Grant was incredibly nice and thoughtful throughout our tour. With two small kids, he was adjustable with the tour and provided insight and history along the way that made it fun to learn. He was very flexible when we needed to stop and eat or rest! Highly recommend Grant as he knows the area well, makes great recommendations for food and for other sites to see while on our trip. He also showed and recommended places our kids wanted to go once he knew what they were into. Great tour and great start to our trip!!!
