We spent 2 beautiful hours with riccardo for this tour of the Shibuya neighborhood. Prior exchanges allowed us to indicate who would participate in the visit and the points of interest of each. Riccardo has prepared this tour mixing the essentials of the neighborhood, atypical viewpoints, alleys and passages off the beaten track and emblematic places meeting the expectations of each family member. Great art. His many years of living in Japan have also allowed us to have answers to many questions we asked ourselves about Japanese culture, habits and life.
I am now at the end of my tour of Japan. Of all the things I have done, my private walking tour with Fabian is one of the top five things that I did. He was a knowledgeable, interesting and relatable tour guide, who was also a great listener. We spoke about football and books and tourism in general. We went to Yoyogi Park, saw the great Shibuya Crossing and went through several shopping streets in Shibuya. For anyone wanting a great, personal, informative tour with a guide who listens as well as he informs, this is the tour for you. Thank you, Fabian and all the best! Wi
Our guided walking tour through the heart of Shibuya was an unforgettable journey through Tokyo’s contrasts—where centuries-old traditions meet cutting-edge culture. Starting at the serene Shenji Shrine, we were gently immersed in Japan’s spiritual heritage, a peaceful introduction before diving into the lively maze of Shibuya’s backstreets. From there, the tour led us through hidden alleyways, indie boutiques, and tucked-away eateries that most tourists would easily miss. These hidden gems offered a glimpse into the authentic, everyday life of Tokyo—far from the typical postcard scenes. A special mention must go to our guide Riccardo, whose passion and deep knowledge truly elevated the experience. He blended historical facts, cultural insights, and personal anecdotes with warmth and enthusiasm, making the tour feel both informative and personal.
We had so much fun!!! Excellent care, we received a lot of information about everything we visited, would definitely reorder Yennifer's services
We had a wonderful time with Mark. He was most accommodating and contacted us even before we arrived in Japan. The information he shared helped us to navigate a very busy airport, and after meeting up with him we were able to find our way around both on the metro and the different shopping areas and places of interest. Both my cousin and more importantly my teenage granddaughter was very happy with her shopping and sightseeing experience. Thank you Mark for a great experience.
The tour was fun, I learnt so much and really enjoyed my guide Eduardo. He was caring and knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the 2 hour tour.i highly recommend Eduardo.
Fantastic knowledge of the area and points of interest from Francisco, who also took us to some nice spots with views over the district. A very enjoyable tour.
Tourists were served weird food that we don't eat such as chicken butt, chicken skin, chicken sausage with cartilage and bones inside, and chicken sushi. Also was told we needed 5000 yen for the tour when you actually need 7000 yen
