“The real deal”

I can’t say enough about how well Melody did. Our group and our plans changed repeatedly due to a small medical emergency unrelated to our tour. Melody just rolled with the changes and adapted without missing a single beat. Our tour was custom made and tailored for exactly what we wanted to see and experience. Our favorite part of the tour was the amazing local sushi. Melody made the whole experience fun and educational. He has a deep knowledge of the geography and history of Tokyo and was enormously helpful in helping us make our way to the airport on time. On multiple occasions, Melody translated for us and helped us avoid critical mistakes. He even translated complicated instructions for 4 different prescription eye drops. We hope to see him again on our next visit!

Brian, thank you so much for spending a day and a half with me despite your busy schedule. You truly are a wonderful family! First of all, I sincerely hope he feels better soon. During our time together, we visited a maid cafe, anime department stores, a beautiful park, the Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Station. We also enjoyed the best sushi at Tsukiji Market, went to a hedgehog cafe, and visited Meiji Shrine. Next time you come to Japan, let’s also go to Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, and a traditional Japanese gardens. Take care!

“Excellent guide”

Super local knowledge, good insights into how younger generation thinks and feels, good communicator. Would use him again next time we're in Tokyo!

“Standout Experience for us at Tokyo”

My fiancée and I travelled to Japan to celebrate my birthday for two weeks. Our time with Melody was a highlight for us both. Our original guide had gotten ill but Melody was able to jump in with a 24-hour notice to save us for our custom-made food tour. He took us to local spots and restaurants that were truly inaccessible on our own. Along the way and even after the tour, Melody provided so many helpful suggestion and links catered towards our questions. He had such a passion for Tokyo culture and was a down-to-earth guide who can roll with our plans. It was difficult to find places open on 12/31 but Melody made it easy as his translation and communication skills are top-notch. The only mistake we made was not booking Melody sooner. Melody is truly an outstanding guide who goes above and beyond for his visitors and will help you find whatever it is you're looking for in the big city. We cannot recommend Melody enough!

Taylor, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Life is sometimes full of coincidences, and it feels like the greatest luck that we became best friends starting purely by chance. We share so many interests—art, anime, games, onsen, food—and we’re from the same generation as well. It was truly an honor to let you experience a local New Year’s Eve with me. I hope to see you again!
