Yokohama Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Yokohama highlights tour. Visiting Sankeien gardens, china town.,Lynn’s favorite noodle restaurant and Umihotaru. Island. ”

We felt blessed from the moment we met Lynn. She had our comfort and care in mind for the whole day. She speaks excellent English, and she was very helpful with any of the best things to see during our five hours together. We first toured the most beautiful garden. It was very peaceful and not a lot of people. You could tell that it was one of Lynn’s favorite gardens too. Lynn took care of our every question and wanted us to enjoy the day and be comfortable. Our next stop was Chinatown. We didn’t have a whole lot of time to see that but that was fine because we had a nice lunch in a restaurant that was of Lynn‘s choosing and her favorite for noodles. Futairo. Lunch was a real treat. Lynn’s personality was just so sweet and helpful. We then went to the very famous place where you drive under the bay to get to the island. Umihotaru. We felt like and maybe we were doing something that is only happening one or two or three places in the world driving under that much water come up in the middle and see everything around you. It was really fun. We then headed for the airport and at the airport Lynn was so amazing. We just didnt expect to be so taken care of right until the moment we got to our gate. Highly recommend her for whatever you need. She is the best. Thank you Lynn Carrie and Dan

“Fun Energy & Great Food”

We contacted Carrie with a last minute effort to fill one of our open/unplanned days in Yokohama with more than us strolling around, wondering where some of the fun places Yokohama has to offer. Carrie responded to our initial message quickly and after a brief look at her schedule, she was able to accommodate our tour request. She offered two meeting locations and arrived about 10mins early (we only know that cause we arrived 20mins early, not being 100% sure of our train commuting skills lol). We decided on a day (4 hour) tour of ChinaTown and let me tell you, we could have explored 6-8 hours with Carrie’s guidance. She started off telling us about the gates at the entrance/exits to begin our tour and then it was food option after food option! (Come to ChinaTown hungry, very hungry… like skip dinner the night before kinda hungry). We stopped in to have our birth dates explored and explained our past, present, and futures (which was spot on for the most part! Eek) After sampling some more tasty treats, Carrie took us to two different temples, each having different meaning, which she explained in great detail that we appreciated. Afterwards, we enjoyed a tea set and an array finger foods at a local spot and finished our tour with a 30min foot massage. All in all, we had an amazing day with Carrie. She has a great bubbly and lively vibe, is talkative (but not too much), and willing to share all her favorite spot in ChinaTown. We definitely recommend her as a guide and will be using her in the future when we return to Japan!!

“Fun and Informative Day Tour with Tan”

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Tan as our driver and tour guide for an early September day in fascinating Kamakura. Tan is friendly, funny, very knowledgeable, and her command of English is outstanding. Her pre-arrival communications were detailed, and she crafted a well-organized, gently paced, and stimulating itinerary for our visit. Tan effectively and graciously accommodated our requests for meal choices, breaks in the action, and personal shopping, amidst the touring of the gardens, temples and shrines. She skillfully answered our many questions about history and culture as well as life in modern day Japan with frankness and humour. Tan's ability to drive, navigate and contend with routes and traffic was impressive! Arigato, Tan. Mary Lynn and Paul fromLondon, Ontario, Canada.

Dear Mary Lynn & Paul, You guys were my first customers as i only managed to curate my detailed tours this year. It was a great pleasure of guiding world class travelers like you. As experienced former teachers, you guys know how to evaluate a well planned tour before booking it. It is very hard these days to have achieved what you are enjoying like now with Paul who always by your side. I wish both of you happy belated birthday in advance and wish you guys good health always with lots of gratitude and love. Stay safe wherever you are. Respectfully, Tan
