“Private tour guide in Tokyo”
Mayuko was an amazing guide and we highly recommend her! She was very helpful with anything we needed, not only showing us the nice places and explaining the history but also assisting with local practical needs that we had. She is very nice, kind and has a positive attitude. You will not regret choosing her!

“Tour guide + super hero = Super Tour Guide Hero ”
I had an incredible tour with Mayuko. We had so much fun that the time flew by and the only regret was not scheduling a longer tour with her! She immediately made me feel like we knew each other for many years. She was flexible and adjusted the tour to my preference. It was an absolutely wonderful experience!!! I would definitely book again!

“A great time”
We hired Mayuko for a six hour, whirlwind tour of Tokyo for 9 of us. We crafted an itinerary after getting suggestions from her. She met us on time and made the six hours interesting and fun. She was great in giving cultural and historical explanations about everything. She suggested places to go and places to eat. She was fun, smart and so nice! I would highly recommend her as a guide to make Tokyo more manageable and to learn about the sights, sounds and food!
