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.

Miko was a pleasure to spend the day with. She was so sweet with my boys and thought of fun little things to do throughout the day that they would like. She was very knowledgeable and help. It was a great start to our trip!

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.
