Great Experience
"We had a wonderful time walking around Shibuya with Carlos. It was a great introduction to a neighborhood we went back to on our own maybe times. Would have been tough to get the full understanding of it all on our own, at least in only 90 minutes. He was great to chat with. The time flew by. Highly recommend."

Tokyo with Gulay
"We had a great tou with Gulay to discover Tokyo on our first day. Gulay has been very helpful with insights and tips. Thanks"

Tokyo Street Food Tour
"We took a walking street food tour with Sena in October. She was waiting for us when we arrived at the designated meeting spot in the Kichijoji district of Tokyo. She took us to many local food stalls as well as to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Not only did Sena take us to the food stalls where she thought the food was the freshest and the best, but she helped us buy gift snacks at a Don Quijote convenience store, and even helped us navigate the Subway kiosk so we could purchase Suica cards. She’s the best and we would highly recommend her!"

Great fun for teens!
"Gulay was a fantastic guide to the hustle and bustle of Shibuya! She was friendly and full of enthusiasm for the city. She shared bits of history along with many recommendations for activities that my teens would enjoy. I’d recommend this tour for anyone who is visiting Tokyo for the first time and especially for families with children. "

Thank you Gulay!!!
"My mom and I had a wonderful tour with Gulay. She was knowledgeable, fun, and adapted the tour to our interests and needs. She gave us a great overview and intro to shopping in Tokyo along with interesting history and culture tidbits as we went. We really enjoyed our time with Gulay and couldn’t recommend her more!"

Lovely Experience
"Our tour with Senna was truly amazing. We booked the Hidden Gems of Shibuya district tour for our first day in Tokyo and Sena helped us know how to navigate getting around Tokyo, as well as showing us some nice shops, treats, interesting streets and views, which was perfect for us. Sena is so knowledgeable and just such a lovely guide. She came highly recommended and we couldn’t have been happier with our tour. "

Gulay is the Best
"Gulay went above and beyond to give us an awesome tour. She started communicating with us well before we arrived in Tokyo to confirm the things we were most interested in and she designed our tour accordingly. Gulay is also super friendly and knowledgeable about all things Tokyo. Thank you Galay for an amazing experience!"

Absolute gem
"We are very grateful to have chosen Gulay as our guide. We had just finished a fifteen day tour of Japan ending in Tokyo. Gulay curated our tour exactly to our wishes. As a local she knows all the special places, food hot spots, and points of history. She is a great communicator and so passionate about her home town. We can highly recommend Gulay. We had a wonderful day."

Yummie food tour in a nice area
"We meet Sena in a not so touristic area of Tokyo. Sena gave us background on the area as well as every dish we tasted and every dish was amazing. We would never have gone to this area without Sena. She was very kind and her English is great. Highly recommend going, even with kids (who are not very picky eaters)."

Peefect tour guide!
"This was our first tour Withlocals. Our friends recommended it, and now we know why. Sena was the perfect host. She is engaging and fun to converse with. She took us to some local spots and we got to try various sushi choices we haven’t had previously. We also loved seeing different areas of the city that we would have normally not have seen. She also gave us tips and tricks for our trip. We will be back ! "

Private & Personalized Tours in Tokyo with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Tokyo, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Tokyo spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Tokyo.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Tokyo, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Tokyo awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Tokyo, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Tokyo. Get ready to explore like a local!
