Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Abu took our group of 4 around to show us Shinjuko, Shubuya areas and get us acquainted in general and also some hidden alleys & shopping vintage streets we would have missed. He was able to recommend restaurants and activities for our next day that were very helpful. Thx Abu!"
"Discovering Tokyo with Ai was wonderful. Ai showed us some small and "unknown" places where we could share local experiences. She also explained a lot about the culture and lifestyle in Tokyo and answered our questions. Ai is a wonderful person, very friendly, intelligent, and kind. Thank you for the great time with you!"
"It was very easy to communicate and nice to walk through Tokyo streets with Carlos. He answered our questions about the Japan and Japanese society, told interesting facts and gave hints of where to eat - that was very useful!! We also visited the bar he recommended and returned there twice, as it was truly a gem. Thank you, Carlos, once more :)"
"Abu was very friendly with a wealth of knowledge about Tokyo. He showed us several spots in the Shibuya and Shinjuku areas along with a few spots between. It was a good way to spend our first night getting a better understanding of the area."

"Abu was great, caring and supportive to my 88 year old mother. We saw sights we would not have found by ourselves. A different side of Tokyo and great history lesson. "
"We had an excellent time with Seden! She is knowledgeable and personable, exactly what we were looking for! She asked us if we needed any help getting oriented on some Tokyo/Japan 101 (navigating the trains, etc.), showed us a few “must see” sights and gave us tips on other local spots. Highly recommend booking with her!"
"We were super impressed with Carlos who was a wealth of knowledge on not only the area we toured but the extensive history as well. He’s friendly and we enjoyed listening to his experiences as an expat living in Tokyo! Would definitely recommend him! Thanks Carlos!"
"Kennedy was fantastic. She took us everywhere that we wanted to go. She took us on the trains which we would not have done by ourselves. We had a great lunch with her and we also went to places which are not the ones which tourists normally go to which was good as we saw how locals live. Her English was very good and also her knowledge of Tokyo and Japan. We could thoughly reccomend her."
"Gerald is a wonderful and outgoing guide. We had lots of laughs. He speaks English perfectly as he is from Canada. He is very knowledgeable about the areas we wanted to visit. We asked to see the giant 3-D cat, Hachiko statue, the Godzilla head in Shinjuku and Yodobashi Camera because I needed to replace my AirPods. We had already seen the major sites in Tokyo, and these were the last couple of places we wanted to see. I know some of it is a little off the wall, but Gerald didn't mind a bit. If we are ever fortunate enough to visit Tokyo again, we will definitely call him."
"Feeling welcomed is an essential part of your vacation experience. Gerald’s tour, felt Ike we were meeting with an old friend who was showing us around his town, while being incredibly professional listening to ours needs and customizing the tour to suit us After the tour Gerald responded to our questions with unexpected hospitality and gave us advice on places and how to plan our visit, going above and beyond, which made our vacation even more memorable. He speaks many languages which I made things easy Highly recommended"
