Nice tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide Haru did a good job explaining and showing us a few sites around Japan while providing some historical information on each. During our tour we also had the opportunity to experience the train system and discuss the importance of mass transit in Tokyo Japan. Haru was a good guide and I would recommend her and this tour.

Great Walking tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Perfect private walking tour of Tokyo. We were able to request the highlights and Yasu, our fantastic guide was able to make it all happen. He was informative, funny and accommodating when the rain curbed our plans.

Excellent Private Tour for a family!

Published on Aug, 2024

We signed up for a private walking tour of Tokyo for our family of four. Keiko, our guide, is fantastic. She recommended that we start early since it was hotter than usual. We were so glad that we did, or we would not have enjoyed the Imperial Palace. Our daughter loves Shiba-Inu, so Keiko scheduled a visit to a Shiba-Inu cafe. We also visited Sensoji Temple, stopped by a Matcha place, a fruit kudamono vendor, Shibuya, and the Hachiko statue. Keiko is extremely accommodating and patient with our kids. We love that this tour uses the subway system since we feel that understanding how the system works is part of an experience on its own. We went around on our own for the next few days after that since Keiko taught us how to use the subway well :) We truly enjoy this tour and highly recommend this tour to any family or small groups.

Worth every penny

Published on Aug, 2024

Miko was excellent. Prior to our trip we emailed several times until we decided on an itinerary. Miko explained the history of Tokyo and the people. We visited local shops, foods and shrines as that was our focus. In 6 hours we were able to get a true sense of Tokyo and could not have done this without Miko.

Family trip to Tokyo

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a fantastic experience with the company; total of 3 tours. Our outmost gratitude to our guide Miko. She introduced our family to Japanese culture and history and made it an exciting experience for our 3 kids (ages 11, 10 and 8). Her fascinating stories kept the entire family engaged.
