Reviews
“Worth every penny”
Aissam is an excellent tour guide and his itinerary is very efficient. I scheduled it the day after I arrived in Tokyo, and it was a perfect way to see all the highlights and major areas of the city to get my bearings. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Ben! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the tour and found it a great way to get oriented in Tokyo. Safe travels, and I hope to see you again!
“Awesome Aissam!”
Aissam met up with my wife and I for a 4 hour evening tour of Shibuya and Shinjuku, and was absolutely superb from the moment we first contacted him to check for some flexibility with times and meet up. He answered every question in advance and was extremely fast to reply. The tour itself blew us away - well organised, a great walk around some well known landmarks and little known spots, and he took some great pictures of us that would have been impossible to get otherwise. Aissam is warm, personable, knowledgable and really puts the effort in to make the experience enjoyable. He’s made us wonder why we never had a guide before and I can only hope that future guides in other places match his quality! Thanks again Aissam!

Capturing those memorable photos for you was my pleasure, and I’m thrilled they added to your experience. Your kind words mean so much, and I’m honored to have set the bar high for your future guided tours. Wishing you many more amazing adventures, and thank you again for choosing me as your guide!
“Big Day Out”
An amazing day that saw us travelling to many precincts around Tokyo, giving us four 70year old techno-phobes the chance to master navigating the Tokyo Metro under Aissam’s guidance. Stunning views from various vantage points, taste treats throughout the markets and the chance to catch a free Geisha cultural show, made this a most memorable experience.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
