“Tak Knows Hospitality!”

Tak showed remarkable hospitality. From the moment we communicated online to the end of the tour, he always made sure I was comfortable with the tour, the timing and even offered advice about my other activities in Tokyo. Upon meeting, he came bearing a sweet little gift for me! The highlight of the tour was Hagoita-Ichi (Decorative Paddle Fair) at the Senso-ji Temple grounds where we shared some Takoyaki. Or maybe the highlight was the end of the tour downing a well-earned beer after all the walking, talking and subway riding. Tak knows and loves his Asakusa neighbourhood and it shows! I can’t wait to return and tour with Tak again!

Dear Linda, Hope you are having a great day. I'd love for our tour to be the second-best memory you had in Japan, after the HOT_SPA! Hopefully, the German beer in Tokyo wasn't that bad. As you saw, Tokyo is a kind of chaos where old, new, funky, and funny cultures mingle and coexist. One day isn't enough to show you my favorite Tokyo. I wish we could have another day in the future. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Sending from a much warmer town than yours. Tak

“Customised tour with Tak”

Tak was super professional, organised and met us at our hotel as planned. His communication with me beforehand was excellent and comprehensive. It's always a bit daunting spending 6 hours with a complete stranger but Tak was such easy and relaxing company. He was informative and helpful, showing us some interesting places we most likely would not have looked at ourselves. We appreciated his time and patience. Thank you thank you Tak.

Tak Y.

Aha! This is the first time to be called SUPER PROFESSIONAL in my life. It's not just my achievement. I believe Ueno and Yanaka's rich history and serene surroundings contributed to creating a comfortable environment for you. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day. I hope you had great memories in Japan. Thank you so much, Lisa and Andy. See you someday again in Tokyo, or perhaps back in your homeland. Tak
