“A great day exploring Tokyo”
Jaime was an excellent guide for our family of two adults, two primary aged children. We got the authentic Japanese experience and he catered to our needs including everything we asked for. He knew his way around the city, is fluent in Japanese and English and had a well pre planned itinerary which was adjustable to what we wanted to do. We would highly recommend Jaime for anyone looking for a private tour of Tokyo.
