Tokyo by trains with Tak - We had a great day with Tak learning about Japans history and cultures! It rained all day but we did not let it stop us! We participated in a tea ceremony, walked through the grounds of the imperial palace, went to the fish markets had fresh sushi at a sushi train restaurant and more! Tak was an absolute pleasure and gave us a few dinner suggestions near our hotel for later! Thank you for a great day!

Personal Tour with Robert - We booked a 4-hour walking tour, and it was a perfect 1st day introduction to Tokyo. Robert was wonderful; very kind, knowledgeable, and patient. He responded to our requested itinerary and set the perfect schedule, which included introducing us to the train system and finding a good Japanese lunch on the first day. His English was excellent. Our young son really connected with him too. So glad we had this personal experience.

First steps in Japan - I spent my first morning in Japan in Tokyo with a tour guide called Naoko and she was great. Naoko went above and beyond. She took me around several integral sights and temples proving me with the history and a great insight into many of the traditions of Japan. Even though it was raining and cold, Naoko made the morning very memorable and I’m very grateful to her.

Lovely time in Tokyo - Tak was an amazing tour guide! We saw so much on the tour and Tak’s commentary was very informative. The 8 hour tour was a good amount of time to cover a lot of the city in one day.

Great day with Asaka! - We had a wonderful day with Asaka, our tour guide. She really listened to what we wanted to see and experience and worked hard to make it all happen. She contacted us prior to the trip to take the time to plan a terrific itinerary. Our day long tour was a great way to get oriented on our first day in Tokyo. She taught us about the subway system so we were comfortable taking it by ourselves in future days. We saw so many Tokyo highlights and spent a lovely day with Asaka! Thank you so much Asaka!!

A wonderful two days! - We had a wonderful 2 days in Tokyo with Kei. She was very accommodating with us and adjusted our itinerary when needed. She also chose two fabulous restaurants for us to have lunch in each day. I should say 'restaurant experiences.' Loved them. We saw so much more with her than we would have ever seen on our own. She was also a very sweet lady, and we enjoyed our time with her.

Had a memorable time with Fumi in Tokyo - Fumi is a fantastic tour guide. She is so knowledgeable, kind, and fun. We had so much fun on our Tokyo tour. We learned so much from her about Japan, its culture, and its people. She was so sweet to take pictures of us with her professional camera. She also went out of her way to help us with buying a Nintendo Switch. Not just this, there were many instances where I asked for something, and she remembered & got us to the right places. She is very considerate and kind. She took us to a great Kimono place where my wife bought an amazing Kimono. Also, you can change the itinerary to match what you would like to see. Fumi added these changes to the plan and made sure we had a smooth experience.
I highly recommend Fumi any day. She is the best!
