About Tour Guide Leandra I.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home.


I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures.


Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Reviews

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.

Exciting private tour

We had an unforgettable tour with Leandra at Zojoji and various cultural locations inside Ueno Park. She gave us an engaging and in-depth look at the history and culture of each site, while clearly connecting everything to Japan’s broader historical context. Additionally, Leandra was also flexible and accommodating, took us to eat some delicious yakitori, and even helping us with shopping and offering great advice along the way. She is patient, funny, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend booking a tour with her if you’re looking for an informative and enjoyable experience in Tokyo.

The best tour of Tokyo ever.

Leandra was incredible. She kept us on time and took us to all the places we wanted around Shibuya and Harajuku. She was patient and kind with our children (7 and 9) but most for all she was fun to hang out with. Karaoke was one of the highlights. I couldn’t recommend her enough. If we come back to Tokyo we would love to book her again.
