“Feeling at home in Tokyo”
We are a small family with 2 kids and we were worried about our first visit to japan. Samantha was very helpful and allowed us to gently settle into the fast paced Tokyo environment quickly. Had a really smooth and wonderful trip, thanks to her.

(2 reviews)Hi Addison Thanks for your kind review. It was a great pleasure meeting you and your family. I am glad that the tour of Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku was useful in giving an overview of Tokyo, in addition to providing details of Japanese etiquette and navigating the Tokyo trains. Hope you had an enjoyable ski trip and the kids had a fun time in the snow !
