About Tour Guide Virginie B.

“Customized tour with Awesome guide Virginie”

I had an incredible time in Tokyo, and my experience was made even more special thanks to my amazing guide, Virginie. From start to finish, Virginie made the tour feel personalized and full of cultural insight. Whether we were in Akasaka, Shibuya, or other areas, her deep knowledge of Tokyo's history, customs, and local spots was unmatched. The tour was perfectly customized to my interests, blending fun and culture seamlessly. One highlight was the incredible bowl of ramen I had – it was definitely the best I’ve ever tasted! Virginie also took me to places I would have easily overlooked on my own, and I’m so glad she did. One of my favorite experiences was getting to create my very own custom perfume, which felt like a truly unique souvenir. We wrapped up the day with enough time for me to head to my birthday dinner at Haute Couture Cafe. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day in Tokyo. Arigato gozaimasu, Virginie, for making my trip unforgettable!

“New Year's in Tokyo”

Wow! We spent two days with Virginie in Tokyo, doing her Must-See Tour on day one and the Ueno Tour on day two. The time spent with Virginie ended up being critical to the success of our trip - because we had no idea what we were getting into by landing in Tokyo on New Year's Eve. It is an incredibly busy time to visit Japan, full of tourists and locals alike visiting shrines, temples and shopping districts. Virginie met us at the hotel each morning (it's super helpful to use the hotel as the meeting point, when you're jet lagged and still trying to figure out the basics). We walked all over the city with her. At times visiting places packed with crowds, such as Asakusa where locals were making their New Year's Day visit, and other times in the quiet of the neighborhoods between subway stops. We weren't on a strict timetable with Virginie, so if something caught our attention there was always time to stop and explore (like a small local cemetery that was along our route, or a shop that we knew our kids would love, or getting a stamp added to our shrine book). Virginie helped us buy day passes for the subway, taught us about Japanese customs and history as we walked, took us to a great ramen spot tucked in Tokyo Station for lunch (seriously tucked away, that place is a maze, thank goodness she knew where to go), and gave us tips to make the most of our time in Tokyo. One tiny highlight that paid off in spades later...she told us where to go for an amazing view of the city later in our trip, as it was closed for the New Years holiday (from an observation deck near Tokyo Dome). We went back to the building on our own later, as our very last stop before leaving for the airport...and we were rewarded with an incredible view of Mount Fuji!! We would never have known about the observation deck without Virginie's guidance. Spend the day with Virginie, you will see and learn so much.

Dear Heather, Thank you very much for your warm comment. I love your picture by the way thank you! Seeing Mount Fuji is always surprising and amazing :) I am glad you could come back! Yes, everything was so packed in Asakusa during Hatsumode period but we managed to see Senso-ji and we were really lucky to find a good ramen place inside Tokyo station during New year's day ! Thank you again for everything! I Hope to see you again in Tokyo! Virginie

“Sweeet day with Virginie ”

Verginie accepted our family of 4 last minute and was very accommodating We did the Hakone tour But sadly our morning romanc train had was canceled coz of some accident which caused us a couple of hours of delay (out of anyone’s hands) which made us try to rush a bit in all activities Virginie took us everywhere and explained all questions and sights odawara castle was nice and we were lucky with good views of Mount Fuji too And the highlight at the end was relaxing in the onsen a very proper one which isn’t crowded. She guided us through everything she is very sweet. And was patient with our two teens. And she stayed with us even. Past her hours. My advice for travelers is always try to plan to get out earlier for a tour which is full day out of town Thanks Virginie for everything :)
