“Tour with Leandra”

Lea is a wonderful tour guide. She is professional, respectful, informative, kind, and very fun to spend the day with. We learned alot from her and highly recommend Lea for your tour guide!

“Fantastic tour of Tokyo’s jazz scene”

Had a fantastic time on the jazz tour. 1st time to Tokyo and after hearing about its jazz culture, was very keen to experience it but had no idea where to start. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. We visited three brilliant and unique venues, each with amazing performances. Leandra is a very welcoming and knowledgeable guide, a huge help with navigating Tokyo’s train network and had many other useful tips and great recommendations for sight seeing other areas of Tokyo and Japan overall. Sad to leave Tokyo but very glad to have experienced a part of its live music culture and will hopefully go back one day to do it all again. If you are a fan of jazz music I highly recommend this tour. Cheers and thanks.

“Perfectly organized and fun way to experience Tokyo”

We were two couples and booked Leandra for two days in Tokyo, and it turned out to be a great decision. Tokyo is an incredible city where there is always something to see, and having Leandra with us made navigating it even more enjoyable. On the first day, she met us at our hotel, where we started with a relaxed coffee in the lobby and went through the plan together. For an early lunch, we chose MOS Burger for a quick change of pace after several days of travel. During the day, we visited a shrine and tried our luck again with fortune teller sticks – unfortunately still not the best predictions. We continued with a walk through the streets and visited a park where locals were enjoying picnics under the cherry blossoms, which was a really special atmosphere. In between, we also made a fun stop at a robot café, where we took a break while the robots sang and even danced a bit. She also guided us in choosing authentic Japanese kitchen knives, which turned out to be a great souvenir. Together we visited a cat café as well – while some played with the cats, others relaxed with a beer. Dinner was again local, among residents, which made the experience even more authentic. We ended the day at a unique karaoke place where guests don’t just sing but can also play instruments – a perfect and fun finish. On the second day, we explored part of the city on our own and met Leandra again in the evening. She showed us Tokyo by night, including the famous Shibuya Crossing, and took us for shabu-shabu – an excellent choice. Leandra was fantastic – fun, well-organized, and very flexible. We changed plans a few times, but she handled everything smoothly and made sure we saw as much as possible. Her restaurant choices and timing were spot on. We would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo.
