“Amazing Tokyo Tour”
My husband and I took our first trip to Tokyo and asked Moses to be our guide on the first day. He took us on an all day tour of many famous neighborhoods as well as hidden gems that aligned with our special interests. He was so kind and helped us to learn the train system so we would be prepared for the rest of our trip. The next day, Moses picked us up for a hike up one of Japan’s famous mountains. We felt immediately comfortable and welcomed and learned so much. Not only did Moses take wonderful photos, he also made us a video of our first few days that is truly a treasure. I highly recommend asking Moses to introduce you to Tokyo!

Thank you so much for your kind words Cate and Larry! It was such a pleasure showing you both around Tokyo and introducing you to some of my favorite spots. I’m really glad the tour and hike helped you feel more confident getting around and exploring on your own. You two had such great energy, and it was a lot of fun sharing those moments on the mountain and around the city. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the photos and video. Wishing you both many more adventures ahead, and I hope our paths cross again in Japan someday. Best wishes Moses

“Best trip ever with Moses!”
Words fail to capture the essence of our journey to Mount Fuji. Moses, our tour guide, was one of the best we’ve ever had. He ensured that we didn’t have a single dull moment during our trip. He not only took all the photos for us but also acted as our personal photographer. I highly recommend Moses to anyone planning a trip to Tokyo Japan. My man, you’re exceptional! Thank you so much.
