“Tokyo Highlights Tour”
This tour with Jaime was absolutely wonderful. Coming to Japan was my trip of a lifetime, but I was still quite nervous because my Japanese still isn't great and I'm not usually the biggest fan of big crowds. Jaime was extremely patient with me and helped me warm up to the big city atmosphere that Tokyo offers. Coming from a much smaller city where I usually drive myself everywhere, taking the train and and navigating on foot for long periods of time took some getting used to. This tour with Jaime was a great training session (lol), and helped me build confidence to take on Tokyo on my own for the rest of my trip. If you want a guide that knows some of the best spots in the city and can customize the tour according to your interests, Jaime's your person! (And if you're looking for some great matcha, Jaime's the one you need to pick x2!!)

“The unstoppable Akihabara tour!”
This tour was well worth it. Jamie San showed me numerous places to go. I was able to purchase some pretty interesting things thanks to his help and enthusiasm. The arcades and maid cafes were the true highlights!
