Looking for a cheerful and knowledgable guide who tells you history or background of each spot? Wouldn't you like to know a bit more than what are written in your guide book? If you say "yes", why not choose this tour? According to your interest and requests I'll make a perfect itinerary only for you! You need not to worry about the complicated subway system. I'll take you to must-see places in Tokyo efficiently and economically using subways. Enjoy your stay just like a Tokyoite with me!
At your hotel or anywhere you like
Anywhere you like in Tokyo 23 wards
guide fee, hotel pick-up in central Tokyo area
transportation fee (you and guide) : about 1000 yen/ person, lunch, entrance fee if needed
It's a private tour only for you! That means you can change the itinerary freely & flexibly.
We'll use public transportation and walk a lot, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
I recommend you to have some Japanese cash. International credit cards are unavailable at ticket machines for trains and subways and at some small local shops.
If you are going to enjoy shopping, it would be better to take your passport with you because you can get tax-free by showing your passport under certain conditions.
[What to expect]
Tokyo is an exciting city with lots of nice spots. But it would be a bit difficult for first-time visitors to go to several places using the convenient but very complicated transportation system. You can count on me! I'll take you destinations efficiently while giving you information about each spot's background, history and Japanese culture, customs, traits, religions, art, everyday life and so on. Let's enjoy exploring Tokyo together!

“Memorable Tour! ”
We want to thank Jolly for being our guide. Despite the rain on the day of our tour, Jolly was well-prepared with an alternative plan that perfectly accommodated the weather, ensuring we still had a good time with various activities. Her guidance and responsiveness to all our questions were greatly appreciated. Overall, she truly made our first full day in Japan a memorable one. We highly recommend her as a guide!

(8 reviews)Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! I truly appreciate it. I'm so glad to hear that my tour was memorable for you. You were all so gentle and listened attentively to my explanation...I myself had a wondertful time with you! Thank you once again for choosing me as your guide and taking time to write this review. Take care!
“Jolly is great!”
We had a really fantastic and fun day with Jolly in Tokyo. She is a very nice and extremely pleasant person, with a real sense of humor. Her English is great. We had booked another tour of the main sites (temples, museums, etc.), so we asked Jolly to really help us see the more fun and everyday side of Tokyo. She took us to a pachinko parlor, a cat cafe, the biggest electronic games arcade I have ever seen (or want to!), a bonsai store, two art galleries and a dealer in old swords, plus the old fish market. We had lunch at a great sushi place in one of the department stores. It was all just tremendous and great fun. I am sure Jolly can give a great tour of the traditional sites as well, but that was not what we ask her for. Highly recommended. Kent and Luca

(8 reviews)Oh! Kent and Luca!! Thank you so much for your heearfelt review. You're so sweet. I really like to share our usual life with my guests and I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed my tour. After your tour, I bought a small bonsai at the bonsai shop, and the cheff at the sushi bar was so skillful and friendly...The tour with you two is quite a nice memory for me, as well! Thank you again for taking time to write this warm review. Take care!! Jolly
“Amazing day with Jolly!”
I cannot recommend Jolly highly enough. She was not only knowledgeable and fun to explore Tokyo with, she was also extremely flexible and willing to adapt the tour to our own interests. We had already been to one of the spots she was going to take us so on the fly, she suggested another neighbourhood we might enjoy. This proved to be one of our favourite parts of visit to Tokyo so far. I highly recommend Jolly as a guide. You won’t be sorry.
