About Tour Guide Marie G.
Hi everyone,
I'm Marie, originally from France.
Ever since I was a child I've felt a strong connection and attraction to Japan, and it has been a significant part of my life through various forms and activities like Zen meditation, Sumie, being a member of Franco-Japanese associations.
In 2018, after over 15 years working as a Project Manager in Telecom, I completely changed my life by moving to Japan with new professional and personal projects. Since then, living in Tokyo, I've discovered amazing spots, hidden treasures, and fascinating stories that make this city truly special!
I enjoy planning every detail of your Tokyo visit (as a good project manager would!) to ensure it's filled with excitement and discovery.
I speak French, English, and conversational Japanese, and I bring a lot of positive energy.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you would like a more personalized tour and let's uncover Tokyo's secrets together!
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Marie

Bonjour à tous !
Je m'appelle Marie et depuis petite j'a toujours été attirée par le Japon, présent dans ma vie à travers diverses formes et activités telles que la méditation zen, le sumie, des associations franco-japonaise.
En 2018, après plus de 15 ans comme chef de projet dans les télécoms, je change complètement de vie et m'installe au Japon avec de nouveaux projets professionnels et personnels.
Depuis que je vis à Tokyo, j'ai découvert des endroits extraordinaires, des trésors cachés et des histoires fascinantes qui rendent de cette ville unique !
J'adore planifier chaque détail de votre visite à Tokyo (comme tout bon chef de projet !) pour m'assurer qu'elle soit remplie de belles découvertes. Je parle français, anglais et un japonais conversationnel, et je suis pleine d'énergie positive.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous souhaitez un tour personnalisé et explorons ensemble les secrets de Tokyo !
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer bientôt !
Marie

“A most splendid tour”
Marie is a marvellous guide with superb attention to detail. Correspondence prior to tour was informative. The tour itself was just brilliant. Marie has a lot of knowledge and provides a really unique and insightful experience. And she's really delightful company. This is one of the best tours I've had and I'd highly recommend anyone with a few days in Tokyo to book this tour immediately.

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a historic city next to Tokyo in Saitama. Two years ago, I graduated from a university in Japan, and now I work as a tour guide and study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. During my time there, I was warmly welcomed by the locals, and I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and daily life. I also learned the value and excitement of connecting with people from different backgrounds. That’s why I now want to be the one to support others. As a guide, I aim to make your journey even more special! Through Go with Guide, I want to offer more than just the typical sightseeing experience—I want to provide unique opportunities for you to dive deeper into Japan’s rich culture. I am committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel it. Join me on an unforgettable journey, and together, let’s embrace the true beauty of Japan! I look forward to meeting you!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!
