"Gerald was a wonderful way for us to start our 13 days in Japan. He got us oriented and using the subway - we had a great time exploring with him. He gave us some great recommendations and even got us a lunch reservation for after our tour. Couldn’t have asked for more. "
"Exploring Tokyo with Joanne was an absolute highlight of our trip. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and has a real passion for sharing her city. Joanne showed us both famous spots and hidden gems we would have never found on our own, all while making everything fun and easy to understand. We learned so much and felt truly connected to Tokyo thanks to her. Highly recommend! 🌸🇯🇵"
"Sena was great! We took the tour on our first full day in Tokyo and it was perfect! It was nice to try several of the street foods on our list and do so in a neighborhood that was almost all only locals. Highly recommended!"
"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!"

"Gulay was lovely to spend the day with. We saw many interesting sites and she taught me a lot about Japanese culture. Thanks for a great first day in Tokyo."
"It was our second tour with Ai, and it was a very entertaining and enjoyable evening. We immersed ourselves in Shinjuku and explored the shopping streets. We even discovered a luxury grocery store together, and Ai gave us detailed information about the specialties! The izakaya tour that followed gave us further insight into Japanese culture, and we enjoyed some very tasty snacks with beer and sake—we would love to come back, thank you very much, Ai! 😊❤️"
"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!"
"We really enjoyed our tasing experience with Ai. We visited a pleasant and not so busy neighborhood of Tokyo where we tried a variety of sweet , salty and savory. Thank you for customizing our tour and showing us so much of the city!"
"My wife and I traveled to Japan for the first time with our baby and met Ai for a food tour with 10 stops. Ai was very friendly, courteous and accommodating to our food preferences and in traveling with a baby.
We loved all of our food and drink stops, particularly because Ai took us to a local area that we never would have explored ourselves. She planned the trip well with a nice stroll through a local park to help digest some of our food before continuing for the final part of the tour.
We would definitely recommend Ai, she was a delight and very gracious with us with our baby and many questions we had. It was a highlight for our trip, thank you Ai!"
"excellent private walking tour of the Kichijoji shopping areas. Sena has great stories and speaks perfect English. A joy to be with. The tour was modified to our tastes. Very flexible. Overall a fun experience! "
