Tokyo tour with exceptional guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

We have travelled extensively, but found Seden to be exceptional as a guide. She was knowledgeable, gave us glimpses of Tokyo life off the beaten path , flexible, fluent in Japanese, helpful in making further plans, kept in touch afterwards to make sure our other arrangements were going to work. She has a delightful sense of humour, was personable and kind. Can’t say enough good about her.

Fabulous Guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Sheilina was a great guide on my trip to Asakusa. She was friendly, knowledgeable and showed me some great spots. I defiantly recommend her as a tour guide. Thank you

Great tour - great guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. She took us through to all corners of the temple grounds talking us through the history of it all and was happy to answer all our questions. Even when one of our group asked a question she could not immediately answer, she went off to find the information for us. The walk through the streets of the Asakusa district was also very interesting. Unfortunately we had to cut the tour short due to one of our party being unwell and she even helped us getting taxis to take us back to our hotel. Good walking shoes required!

Great day

Published on Oct, 2024

Gulay showed us all the sites and gave us a thorough history. We ended the day smarter than we started. Highly recommend.

Amazing Time in Asakusa

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an incredible time with Sheilina, our tour guide. It was our first day in Tokyo and she quickly acclimated us to the culture and history. We highly recommend Sheilina to anyone looking for a memorable tour of Tokyo and beyond. Thank you!
