A fantastic tour through Tokyo - Jero from Shiny Tours Tokyo delivered one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Japan. As a private guide who’s been living in Tokyo for over ten years, he speaks fluent English, German, and Japanese, which made communication effortless and allowed him to share deep, authentic insights into the city without any barriers. We booked a customized private walking tour focused on Tokyo’s highlights and hidden gems, and Jero tailored it perfectly to our interests and time constraints. In just one incredible day, he whisked us through iconic spots like Shibuya Crossing, Meiji Jingu Shrine, Harajuku’s vibrant streets, and Shinjuku, while weaving in fascinating history, cultural tips, and off-the-beaten-path recommendations that we never would have discovered on our own. What truly set Jero apart was his warm, genuine personality—he made us feel like close friends rather than just clients. His enthusiasm for Tokyo was infectious, his humor kept things light, and he was incredibly patient and attentive throughout. Whether explaining local customs, recommending the best street food, or navigating crowds seamlessly, he turned what could have been an overwhelming city into an enjoyable, personal adventure. If you’re visiting Tokyo and want a knowledgeable, friendly guide who goes above and beyond, Jero is absolutely the best choice. We can’t recommend him highly enough—5 stars aren’t enough! Book with confidence; you won’t regret it.

Tour of Tokyo from a local’s perspective - Jero was an incredible guide — thorough, personable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic. He made our trip to Tokyo truly memorable. We’re so grateful for his creativity and the care he put into the tour. He took us to places we never would have discovered on our own and gave us an authentic taste of local life. It felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend.

Great and personal tour with Jero - I had a really great tour with Jero from Shiny Tours in Tokyo. From the beginning the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all, but rather like I was out with a buddy who really knows his stuff. Everything was well organized but flexible. I was able to ask questions and got many helpful tips for my further stay. Especially as a first-time visitor, this was very valuable to me. Would do it again anytime – clear recommendation!

A great day to discover some of the hidden spots in Tokyo - Having been to Japan 4 times prior to this visit, I wasn’t even sure what I expected from a private tour of Tokyo. I was hoping to discover some hidden spots, see the city from different perspectives, and get something unique other than what I could find from doom-scrolling on Instagram. And….Jero more than delivered. What a fantastic day! From the instant we met, I felt like I was meeting an old friend for a tour of a city he truly loves. I opted for the 6 hour tour which I’m very thankful for as there is so much to see. I think this tour would be phenomenal for any first time visitor to Tokyo, but amazingly, Jero also made it a fantastic experience for someone who has previously seen all the major highlights. As a side note for all you other solo travelers out there, Jero will take photos of you at all the major sites so your camera roll can be filled with pics other than selfies.

Excellent walking tour of Tokyo - Jero was an excellent guide that made an overwhelming city seem more manageable. We saw 10 major attractions which gave me ideas on where to come back to for a solo foodie experience. The pace was just right and the walk was easy. This tour is well worth your time and money.

Easy-going tour with plenty of sights - Jero was an excellent guide and was full of knowledge. Tokyo was overwhelming and scary at first, but Jero brought me to plenty of the "must see" tourist spots. Be prepared to walk (it's an easy walk) but I logged 16k steps. The tour is worth every step.
