“Another amazing Tour , this time for my daughter and her friend ”
I had set up a tour for my daughter since it was her first time in Japan , she was unable to join us when we went last month.Jamie was amazing just like the one we had with him a month back . Below is my daughter’s experience My friend and I spent 4 days in Tokyo, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jaime. We’re two foodies who were looking for good food, shopping, great photo spots, and an immersive Tokyo experience. Jaime delivered on every front. We gave him a list of things we wanted to do, like finding rare Smiskis (which were sold out everywhere!), and he went above and beyond to help us track them down. The food recommendations were absolutely amazing—he took us to an unforgettable udon spot and directed us to a sushi place where I tried oysters and sake for the first time. Jaime even introduced us to delicious candies I wouldn’t have thought to try, and now I’m obsessed! He’s incredibly organized, kind, and has the best vibe. His time management was flawless, allowing us to see and do so much without ever feeling rushed. We gave him creative freedom with our itinerary, and he made sure we hit all the best spots while keeping the experience fun and relaxed. His knowledge of Tokyo’s culture, nightlife, and hidden gems is impressive, and he answered all our questions, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Jaime’s fluency in English and Japanese made everything easy, and we always felt safe and in good hands with him. Without him, our trip would have been completely different. If you’re looking for good food, shopping, great photos, and a deep dive into Tokyo, I highly recommend Jaime. He truly made our trip unforgettable! Samantha
