Tokyo for the uninitiated

Published on May, 2025

We weren't sure what we wanted to see when we started. Kyoko tailored our tour on the spot to what we decided after a few specific questions. The areas she showed us fit perfectly with our interests and were a great mix of historical areas, cultural icons and spaces we could revisit on our own. Lunch was divine - japanese BBQ. Her advise on how to negotiate the trains/subway was invaluable.

Great tour!,

Published on May, 2025

We had a great time with Chiara, our guide. She is a lovely person, fun and interesting, and having lived in Tokyo for 16 years, she is very knowledgeable about the interesting sites to see. We would highly recommend her as a guide.

Jonny was an amazing guide - 11 out of 10!

Published on May, 2025

Jonny was an amazing guide for our private tour of the Shibuya and Harajuku neighborhoods. A highlight was Meiji Shrine which was very peaceful and meaningful. We even saw two traditional Japanese wedding processions while we were there. In contrast, Harajuku is the center of youth Kawaii “cute” culture and super lively. We definitely recommend Jonny and this tour!

The tour was very flexible yet organized. We covered a ton of crown and learned so much. Toshi was very educated on hist

Published on May, 2025

Toshi catered the trip to all of our needs. We saw so many things and learned about the Japanese culture. So she also helped us with restaurant recommendations and answered all of our questions.

Kyoko-san is a fantastic...

Published on May, 2025

Kyoko-san is a fantastic guide. She took us places we wanted to see, plus all the hidden gems along the way. She also guided us through the use of the subway system, giving us the confidence to navigate the system and really opened the city to us. Amazing tour and and tour guide.
