Reviews
“Highlights of Tokyo with excellent guide”
Atsushi is very friendly and helpful and well organised. He showed us a lot of Tokyo in just one day. We saw Schryns and Temples and of course typically market. We walked a lot and at the end we where tired but happy.
Atsushi K.
It is my pleasure to spend time with people like you, and I believe you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Tokyo. I hope your cruise will be happier than ever and you will return to Japan someday.
“Atsushi, an excellent guide”
Atsushi is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, who is very fluent in English. In addition to guiding us through Tokyo, he gave us insides in the religious, economic, cultural and political life in Japan. The tour itself was very well structured: we saw the old and the new. We also liked very much the use of the metro to visit the different places. It gave us a good view of how the city functions. We highly recommend Atsushi!

I could also enjoy my time with you. It is always my pleasure to meet people like you two with different cultural backgrounds, as I can learn a lot from that. If you can visit Japan, I want to be your guide again.

Let's explore the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo.
“Wonderful Experience”
We selected Atsushi as our guide and could not be happier. Having not been to Tokyo before and being from the US we could never have seen as much in 8 hours as we did with a local. Atsushi has very good English and has a very pleasant nature. He takes the time to explain the history and the local customs. I want to point out that he customized our day based on our preferences. For instance we wanted to have Ramen for lunch so he suggested a very nice lunch stop. We would hire him again and strongly encourage you to do so.
Atsushi K.
Thank you very much for your appreciation. I just wanted you to know the background of Japanese culture, history, and people. I was also shocked by your extensive knowledge of Japanese history. Your visit to the Tokyo National Museum will be even more meaningful and insightful. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay in Tokyo.
