About Tour Guide Melody S.

“Fantastic Guide for Tokyo Rated A++++++”

Hands down, the best guide anyone could use for Tokyo. Informative, knowledgeable, and passionate about showing you Tokyo as only a local could. We engaged Melody twice while in Tokyo, and each time was filled with exploration, discussion, or listening to Melody give a masterclass on the history of Japan that would make a professor proud. His expertise of Tokyo is astounding. From areas no one would even know about (Hide and Seek Alley) to shopping, he knows it all. Melody took us to restaurants you wouldn't know existed that were superb. Best of all, the day is centered around what you want to do and see. No sight or wish is too small, Melody makes them all come true. But truly the best part of spending the day with Melody is Melody himself. He is a warm, loving individual who becomes less of a guide and more of a friend as the day progresses. His North Star is to make you happy, and I can guarantee that he delivers. I'm embarrassed to admit Melody stayed with us way past his ending time because he wanted to show us more of Tokyo. There are no constraints as to what he can do. Whatever you desire, Melody succeeds in providing. I cannot say enough about Melody as a guide and as a person. He is joyful, generous with his wisdom, and just a good person to accompany you through Tokyo. Read the other reviews to confirm my comments. If you don't select Melody you are losing out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy Tokyo with the city's best guide AND person. I highly recommend Melody as your guide, he is flat out fantastic!

Herbert, thank you so much for writing such an incredible review! I will never forget the two wonderful days I spent with you both. We first met after you arrived in Japan for the first time. We first met after you arrived in Japan, starting your 20-day adventure with an introductory tour to help you get the most out of your journey. You then explored various cities across Japan on your own, and we reunited for another wonderful day just before your departure for a fully customized tour to fulfill your final wishes in Japan. As you mentioned, when it comes to my knowledge of Japanese history, my rivals are university professors! At the same time, I'm also an expert in the latest trends, including anime and fashion. I believe there are very few guides in Japan who can meet these two completely different needs equally well. But above all, the best part was spending such unforgettable moments with you both, not just as your guide, but as your friend. Thank you again, and take care until we meet again!

Komal, thank you very much for introducing me to your VIP guests. Although the tour was only two and a half hours, we made countless wonderful memories together. We took photos with my maid friends and enjoyed their dance performance, bought lots of anime merchandise in Akihabara, played games at an arcade, and visited a Pokémon card specialty store and a capsule toy shop. The guests seemed to be having a great time throughout the entire tour, which made me very happy as well. Thank you again for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

“Amazing introduction to Tokyo”

We are a British couple who recently visited Japan for the first time, and we booked Melody to give us a tour of Tokyo on our second day in the city. Despite it hammering down with rain all day, it was a wonderful day. Melody was very friendly and accommodating, and went over and above the time we had booked to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. He showed us around the Tokyo Metro system and how to get IC cards, which proved very useful around the rest of our visit. We visited anime shops and retro video game shops and the Tamiya model shop, temples and gardens, and enjoyed delicious tempura for lunch in a local restaurant at Melody's recommendation. It's a shame we couldn't see much from the top of the tower - the clouds were too low - but we have no control over the weather. Having never visited Japan before I was a bit nervous about coming to such a different culture, but Melody really helped us become familiar with the city, and was happy to answer all the questions we had about Japanese culture. Thank you, Melody, for such a welcoming introduction to a fabulous city, and for being so friendly and accommodating, It was a really informative tour, and helped us navigate our way around Tokyo for the remainder of our time there.

Sara, thank you very much for my milestone 100th review on GoWithGuide! On your first day in Tokyo, we explored so many places together! I really enjoyed exchanging stories about our cultures, and chatting with you two brought back fond memories of my time in the UK. Tokyo has been experiencing an unusually long period of rainy weather recently. Despite the rain, I was impressed by how much you enjoyed everything, from the Sumida River cruise and Ghibli Store to shopping for retro video games, Tamiya plastic models, and electric guitars! I think hiring a local guide on your very first day in Tokyo, as you did, is a great idea. It can completely change how you experience the rest of your trip! I'm sure the rest of your time in Tokyo was just as unforgettable. Until we meet again!
