A great walking tour with the guide meeting us at our hotel. We had visited the main sights of Tokyo before so we picked some lesser known parts that we hadn't visited before. Oli was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the area and easy to be with. We used public transport with his help which is payable on the day.
It was like hanging out with a family friend and learning about the city! Amir was friendly and informative and very relatable!
“He was truly kind and passionate about his work. We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every moment.”
Enrique was awesome ..we did it with transportation and he customized a tour for my son and I off my sons to do list. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring as he was personally interested and helpful in helping us plan our two weeks in Japan in other cities We are glad we participated
We had a great tour. We opted for a 3 hour tour and asked to do some public transit around where we are staying (Shinjuku). Our guide Christiano was great. He pointed out landmarks so we could orientate ourselves, then took us to 4 sites which were all interesting.
What a friendly and informative tour. Jenny customised our tour to meet our needs and importantly, provided much information in advance. We knew in advance exactly what we were going to meet, where we would meet Jenny and so on. Jenny is a very friendly and helpful guide with much historical knowledge.
Amir was a great guide. Great tour in only 4 hours. Wish we had more time to explore - maybe when we return
Enrique is an amazing guide, sharing lots of wisdom about Japan and Tokyo's history, culture and landmarks. He adapted the tour to us and was super helpful giving tips for the following days. Bonus: impressive photographer!
Our guide - AJ - was simply the best. Very friendly and helpful. Totally flexible to meet our requests.
My friend & were guided to several temples & shrines over several parts of Tokyo. He will guide you as little or as much as you are able to do. We also had matcha ice cream cones. We rode the subway a couple of times, went to the Sky Tree & a mall. Just ask & you can probably do the trip!
