Experience Half-day tours in the best of
Tokyo with Withlocals

"Would thoroughly recommend this experience, an opportunity to get a little off the beaten track and eat a variety of foods that are more local fare. Seden was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgable, accommodating and the children made to feel engaged and welcome. "

"We had a wonderful time in Tokyo with Kennedy. She was very friendly and entertaining, and gave us great tips on snacks to try along the way. The time flew by — we'd absolutely do it again. Highly recommended!"

"I opted for a private tour which Gerald created based on my interests. He could not have been friendlier - a very nice guy! The day passed quickly and was exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend. "

"We had an amazing experience with Gulay in Tokyo! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible throughout the entire tour. She took the time to understand what our family wanted to see and perfectly adapted the itinerary to our interests. She was especially wonderful with our children, keeping them engaged and making sure everyone had a great time. Her local knowledge, recommendations, and insights made us discover places we would never have found on our own. If you’re looking for a guide who is professional, warm, and truly cares about giving you the best possible experience, we can highly recommend Gulay. Thank you for making our time in Tokyo so memorable!"

"My 22-year-old son and I stayed in Akasaka for the first leg of our Japan trip, and someone recommended that we book a private walking tour. I am so glad we listened! Finding "Withlocals" and especially our guide, Sheilina, gave us exactly the authentic experience we were hoping for. We scheduled the tour for our second full day in Tokyo, which turned out to be perfect. By then, we had already figured out the subway system and met Sheilina at the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center. From the moment we met her, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to spend time with. Throughout the five-hour tour, we visited beautiful temples and shrines, explored local shopping areas, learned fascinating history and fun facts, and picked up so many practical tips that made the rest of our trip easier. She even showed us how to exchange currency at 7-Eleven (best exchange rates) and tipped us on getting prepackaged cooling towels for our neck. One of the highlights was lunch. She took us to an affordable local restaurant where we enjoyed wagyu beef that we cooked ourselves at the table. It was an experience we never would have found without her and became one of our favorite meals of the trip. The tour finished in Shibuya, where Sheilina gave us a great orientation to the neighborhood and pointed out highlights to explore on our own. We ended up spending another four hours wandering the area because we felt so comfortable navigating it after her introduction. Looking back, my son and I both agree that this was one of the best experiences of our entire Japan vacation so far. If you're visiting Tokyo and want more than just checking off tourist attractions, book a tour with Sheilina. You'll leave with a much deeper appreciation of the city and the confidence to enjoy the rest of your trip. Highly, highly recommended!"

"We really enjoyed our afternoon with Sena. She took us to several food places including a great sushi place. She also answered several questions that our son had about living in Japan. We appreciated her time!"

"We were lucky enough to have Sheilina on our first day in Tokyo. It was an incredible experience and we could not have hoped for more. Sheilina went the extra mile for us, from accommodating us at short notice to blending a deep knowledge of history and culture to the latest food trends. It was a fantastic way to start our first day in Tokyo."

"Sena was a wonderful host. Fluent in English. "

"Had a fabulous 5 hour Tokyo tour with Maruf. He liaised with me over itinerary and my interests in advance and he put together a really great tour. Maruf was engaging, friendly, interesting and fun to be with. Highly recommended!"

"Alessandra is an engaging and knowledgeable host. I requested a shopping tour for local fashion. She took to me to some very interesting places including vintage, second-hand and local designers only available in Japan. It was so fun."
