Experience the best of
Tokyo with Withlocals

"Within five minutes of meeting Carlos we felt it was like taking a stroll with an old friend. He was charming, informative and took us to food vendors that only the locals would have known about. We also got to know about living in Japan and discovered fascinating details of Japanese food etiquette and traditions. A memorable day and a great introduction to our stay in Tokyo."

"We had an incredible time with Sheilina, our tour guide. It was our first day in Tokyo and she quickly acclimated us to the culture and history. We highly recommend Sheilina to anyone looking for a memorable tour of Tokyo and beyond. Thank you!"

"This was my first time in Tokyo with my kids. Carlos gave me a very good introduction to the area, some local traditions and some good tips and tricks! I was very intimidated with the train/ subway system so Carlos really helped me understand- also came on a short train ride with us to get me comfortable. I really got lucky that i found Carlos."

"Our street food tour with Sena was wonderful. She chose the are around Kichijoji Station. The alleyways ( many of them covered) were never crowded and oozed the Japan our history books referred to. Colour, cooking aromas, local produce vendors and street food we had never seen or heard about. Sena speaks excellent English and has a great knowledge of food and its preparation. Enjoy."

"We had an amazing food tour with Sena. She’s an amazing guide and very pleasant and knowledgeable. She took us to Kichijoji which is truly a neat place with lots of good local and tasty food . We sat at a beautiful park and managed to share our travel experiences and also the Japanese culture as we had some time left after the tasting. We really enjoyed the food tasting tour with Sena. Arigato!"

"Gulay is the MOST INCREDIBLE guide! She strikes the perfect balance of teaching about history, culture, and religion, all sprinkled with fun interesting facts. Gulay knows so many cool hidden gems which you "stumble upon" as you go to the regular sites. Here's where she really stands above the rest, she literally reads your mind as to what you would like to see and do. Gulay collaborates with you to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. She also goes out of her way to teach you how to navigate Tokyo physically and culturally. She taught us how to use the public transportation system flawlessly and explained proper etiquette. With limited time in Tokyo we booked a 5 hour tour, she customized it perfectly to our tastes and interests. At the end of the tour she took time to discuss places and restaurants she thought we would enjoy exploring on our own, sent us links and gave us directions. She was extremely flexible during our day together and even took us on several short power shopping detours. She knows the best photo spots and took lots of pictures of us along the way. Gulay is kind, patient and sweet. Her English is 100% fluent. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A guided trip with Gulay will be a guaranteed highlight of your trip. Happy Travels!!!"

"We had a wonderful walking food tour with Alessandra. She was fun to talk to about Tokyo and her experiences in the city. She was also flexible with where we went and generous with food options. We highly recommend her. "

"We enjoyed our Sake & Sushi Tour with Sena very much. It was a great cultural exchange and all questions were answered. The food was delicious, as were the tasted Sake. Big thank you to Sena as my veggie demand is surely difficult to satisfy in this category of tours. But I was full and happy when Sena left us. Big Big arigato to Sena :) Recommendation to all bookers: use the message option to communicate your needs, wishes or expectations beforehands. In many cases the tour can be optimised to your personal liking. "

"Loved this tour with Sena. Super versatile guide and discovered so much!"
