Spectacular - We did this tour in Tokyo and the experience has been excellent. From the beginning the guide completely adapted to us, asking us what kind of things we were interested in and adjusting the tour according to that. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, he made the tour much more personal and closer. We visited Meiji Shrine and Harajuku area, but the best thing was that we avoided the typical and took us to more interesting places for us. For example, we went into a katana shop where he translated us with the owner, we were able to take pictures and even hold a katana. It was a very special and different experience than usual. You can see that you know the city well and know how to adapt the tour so that you really enjoy it. It is not the typical sightseeing tour, but something much more authentic. Fully recommended if you are looking for a personalized experience in Tokyo.

Amazing - The tour was very instructive and we learned a lot about the Japanese culture. Our guide Cristina was just amazing, and after the tour she accompanied us at Shibuya and she showed us some places (it was not included in the tour)
