Great way to get an overall feel for the city!
Published on May, 2025
This was a fantastic experience in spite of rainy weather. Paiva knows her stuff, is very professional and took us all around the city. We did add one of a busy ride and tea service which allowed us to have an opportunity to go all over the city. It was very nice to have such a personalized experience
The best tour of Toyko with the best tour guide!
Published on May, 2025
Paiva was an exceptional tour guide on our customized tour even in the rain. We explored many sites around Tokyo using the subway and boat cruise.
Our group saw the Sanja Festival which happens the third weekend every May.
Hamarikyu Garden
Wandered around the garden made for Shogun Tokugawa’s family as a villa in 1654. We had “Matcha” ( green tea) and “Namagashi” ( a traditional Japanese sweet) the best macha I have ever had!
We visited Sensoji temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple dating back to 645 and walked through Nakamise Shopping Streets.
We visited many more sites. I would give this tour 100+ stars, 5 stars is not enough.

Excellent guide. Not only did Keiko expertly show us the places of interest but also introduced us to japanese customs we would not have been exposed if not for her. She definitely influenced the way we perceived not only the tour but our entire trip. Would definitely recommend.
