“Amazing Day with Lily”
I’ve been to Tokyo four times without a tour and have never had a better day than I did with Lily. My Mom and I really got a feel for Tokyo in a way that is just impossible on your own. Touring with Lily was like touring with a knowledgeable friend- there were no impersonal lectures or information dumps- Lily has a true passion for history, engaging storytelling, and tailored guiding that was apparent and memorable. Thank you for an amazing day, Lily, and we hope to see you again! Best, Natalie and Mary

“Highlight of Tokyo!”
We had an amazing experience with Lily touring the Tsukiji Market. She has so much knowledge of the area and food that she shared with us. She took us to all the best stalls. Without her, the Tsukiji market would not have been as fun or impressive. I’d highly recommend Lily if you’re considering visiting the market. She also shared information regarding the other neighborhoods of Tokyo and places we should visit.
Lily I.
Dear Lauren, I appreciate your fast and kind message!! I am grateful to meet you all! I also had a wonderful time having tasty fresh food together! Your enthusiasm for food made me happy and motivated to show you around the best things in the market! If you ever plan to revisit, I’m more than happy to serve you again. All the best! Lily

“Highly Recommend Lily! ”
Four of us from San Francisco spent seven hours touring Tokyo with Lily and couldn’t have been more pleased! She’s warm, engaging, and every bit as delightful as she appears in her video. Lily tailored the tour to our interests, made navigating the city effortless and fun, and gave us several great ideas to pursue during our next two days in Tokyo. We would highly recommend Lily!
Lily I.
Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for your warm message. It was my pleasure to meet you all and spend a wonderful time together exploring both the old and new sides of the city. I especially enjoyed chatting about many things surrounding us and your curiosity about Japanese culture made me inspired during the tour. I always feel happy to help your trip be more delightful and memorable. Best regards, Lily
