Tokyo experience

Published on May, 2025

I stayed in shibuya this tour guide gave me a reason to want to revisit Tokyo. His knowledge, patience and simple how good he was with my kid who is 9 years old was just beyond what is from a guide. I would highly recommend Maruf as my go to guide. I am so appreciative to have met him, highly recommend.. 5 star

Amazing tour with Erica!!

Published on Apr, 2025

Our private tour with Erica was amazing!! Definitely a highlight of our time in Japan. Our group was 4 adults and 2 children, and Erica showed us around Tokyo on our first day in town. We visited so many sights and Erica took photos for us the entire time. She also showed us how to get a transportation card and how to use it, which was a huge help. The day we spent with her was rainy and wet, but we still had so much fun exploring the various districts in Tokyo. Erica took us to two great places to eat, and showed us sights we wouldn't have seen on our own. During our time in Japan we had 4 private tours and Erica was unanimously our favorite tour guide! Thank you again :)

Walking Tokyo tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Nami was a wonderful and delightful guide. The tour was a walking tour which is unusual for me, but we walked approximately 5 miles.

Shinjuku and Asakusa- Japan

Published on Mar, 2025

Abu met us at the Keio Plaza, introducing us the exciting streets and area of Shinjuku, Godzilla and the three D cat!! and we loved his local knowledge as we toured the shrine at Asakusa and amazing market streets . He introduced us to delicious local snacks and ice cream buns. The highlight were the walk down the local food market street and the early cherry blossoms at the end of our tour . We would not have seen any of this without Abu. So thank you.

Walking tour of Tokyo A++

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I wanted to see Tokyo - walking as much as possible. Maruf was amazing. He met us at our hotel and planned a day of walking and subway transportation throughout the city. We saw many, many sites in our bucket list and Maruf was extremely flexible when we wanted to explore certain sites longer or skip some super long lines and move to the next part of our adventure. We have toured many international cities and I would rate Maruf and his itinerary among the best. Oh, and we walked 20,000 steps!
