“Fabulous start to our Tokyo adventure ”
Melody Suzuki was an excellent guide, and showing us around Tokyo on our very first day with the best thing we did. We felt safe and relaxed walking around, navigating the trains and finding the best places to eat. He was an absolute hit with our 21 year old daughter sharing an interest in anime and visiting Electric Town! I would recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo to do this city tour on their first day.. made the next 5 days easy. Thank you so much Melody .. sayonara, until our return.

“Tokyo with teens”
I was traveling with three teenagers and wanted our trip to Tokyo to showcase the very best of what the city has to offer. We booked Melody twice during our stay, and even before we arrived, he shared plenty of helpful suggestions and tailored the itinerary specifically to our interests. His recommendations were spot-on, and his attention to detail made the experience truly special. As a guide, Melody was incredibly considerate and fantastic with the teens — they absolutely loved him and couldn’t wait to see him again after the first day. I can’t recommend Melody highly enough. Not only did he give us an amazing introduction to Tokyo, but he was also remarkably patient and flexible when the teens wanted to adjust the plans mid-tour. It was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible time. You won’t find a better guide than Melody. Highly recommended!

Lill, thank you for the heartfelt comment. Your kids are amazing and I was the other teenager there lol. We really enjoyed every moment from shopping mall, Gundam, ramen, VR, anitouch, Ninja cafe, FUGLEN, temple, maid cafe, cuspule toy, arcade to teamLab! It's the greatest honor to be a part of your precious memory in Tokyo and already miss you a lot. Looking forward to meeting you all again someday. Take care!

“An awesome guide ”
We had such a great time with Melody. And as managed to cover so many attractions in a short period of time. I highly recommend him and will be using him again when we return to Tokyo. He is knowledgeable about Japan and its history and very polite and accommodating. It was absolutely great meeting him

Sthabiso, yes, we packed a schedule in the final day and covered seven spots in a day (shrine, bridge, forest, castle, Gion area, shopping street, and market)! Throughout the tour, you all kindly treated me like a friend or even a family member. We had a lot of experiences in Japan but it is only a part of our culture. Next time, let’s try new stuff like maid cafe, hot springs, museums, and okonomiyaki place. I’ll never forget such beautiful and beloved memories. Siyabonga kakhulu, inkosi ikubusise !
