“Fantastic tour and guide”
Sam was awesome -- he's super knowledgable and this tour hits the highlights of two neighborhoods in Tokyo best explored at night. Right after I booked the tour, I sent him a message asking for a non-smoking izakaya for dinner since my parents are sensitive to smoke. He quickly responded saying he would do that and found us a great place. We really loved Sam as a tour guide and learned a ton -- I highly recommend him!

Wow, thank you for this wonderful feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and that the non-smoking izakaya was a hit with your parents. It was a pleasure to quickly sort that out for you. I had a fantastic time guiding your family through the nightlife and am delighted you learned a lot and loved the experience. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated! All the best, Sam

“Full adventure day for our family”
Aissam was such a good guide. At first we were wondering if the day would not be too intense for us but in the end we did everything and all of us (including our 8 years old) had so much fun. Aissam really adapted to us and was fun to hang with. Your really feel like you discover all of Tokyo in one day. Thanks Aissam !

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Reading about your family's adventure day made me smile. I especially loved hearing that your 8-year-old had a great time—it was a pleasure exploring Tokyo with all of you. Showing you around and ensuring the day was fun for everyone was my top priority, so your kind words about me adapting the tour mean a lot. I'm thrilled I could help you feel like you discovered all of Tokyo in one day! It was a genuine pleasure spending the day with your family. Please come back and explore more with us anytime! Warmly, Aissam

“Day tour to Mt. Fuji”
We had a great time with our tour guide Aissam. We started the day early and were able to see everything we wanted to see. Even though it was a cloudy day and weren’t able to see Mt. Fuji we learned more about this region through Aissam’s knowledge. Thank you Aissam!

Aissam E.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this lovely review. I truly enjoyed guiding you both today! While I was also hoping for a clear view of Mt. Fuji, I'm so glad that we could still have a meaningful and interesting day exploring the region together. Your curiosity and great attitude made the tour a real pleasure for me.
