“Exceptional Tokyo Tour with Aissam”
Aissam is a bright and charming guide who managed an extensive and well-organized program for my family, including our three children, covering some of Tokyo’s key attractions. We truly enjoyed our visits, and the kids especially loved the tour. It’s unfortunate that we didn’t have more time in Tokyo, as we would have loved to spend more time with him. We highly recommend anyone visiting Tokyo to connect with Aissam, he will make your visit truly worthwhile.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I truly appreciate your kind words — and honestly, thank you for treating me like a member of your family. I really enjoyed every moment we spent together, especially the fun and thoughtful conversations with your kids. They brought such good vibes to the tour! I wish we had more time too, but I’m grateful for the memories we made. Hope to see you all again one day — Tokyo will be waiting!

“The best guide you could ask for”
I spent two unforgettable days in Tokyo with Aissam as my guide, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He made sure I saw everything on my priority list and more! We covered a huge part of the city in such a short time. He did more then his best. Aissam is incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and fun to be around. We laughed a lot and had a really great time together. He’s not just a guide; he makes you feel like you’re exploring the city with a good friend. I recommend him to everyone — whether it’s your first time in Japan or your tenth. Honestly, five stars is the minimum he deserves. Thanks again, Aissam from Amsterdam and arif :)
