“Super knowledgeable and patient guide! ”
Thank you to Hiroko! Instead of just wandering around, we got to learn a lot from a local! Hiroko is really pleasant company. My daughter made it through a full 5 hour tour, which says a lot! Hiroko was patient with our frequent snack stops and rest stops. We had great conversation about local culture and she had great stories to tell about the historical sights. She deftly navigated us on trains to three temples. She is flexible with booking, and responsive on messages. I very highly recommend booking time with Hiroko! Thank you!!

“Super great guide! ”
Mayuko is a wonderful guide- she is overall a lovely person to spend time with and with her historical knowledge, it was a great way to learn about the sights. She was flexible in booking and times, she had a folder of photos to share with us. She had lots of stories and details to share about the imperial palace and room is through the fish market like a pro. She was accommodating and patient for our frequent stops and photos. My daughter even made it through the whole tour which says a lot! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend booking a tour with Mayuko! Thank you!!

“A great intro tour of the major highlights of Tokyo”
Despite the unexpected summer heat on the day of our tour, we really enjoyed our time with Ritsuko. It was tough to do all the walking in 95 degree heat. But we made stops along the way to take in some AC. She is very kind. I was very happy that she brought us to couple places and stores that my kids really enjoyed and were excited about. I would tour again with her. Thank you Ritsuko!

Hi Shawna, Thank you so much for your kind review. Despite the jet lag and the unexpected summer heat, hard to believe it was only mid-June, I truly appreciated how willing your family was to walk and explore. Thanks for that, I was able to guide you through some of Tokyo’s major highlights, especially those focused on shopping. I hope the tour helped set the stage for the rest of your stay in Tokyo. Wishing you all the best!
