Tour Important Information
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!

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“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.

“Excellent tour”
What a pleasure to have Jolly as our guide. As it being our first visit to Tokyo we couldn’t as for a better person to make us comfortable to use the Metro line and to show us things and the history of some amazing places. We are so grateful for guiding us to book tickets for our next adventure to Hakone on the Romance line. Couldn’t recommend Jolly enough. Bev
