The best guided tour we could have hoped for. - In a word our tour was EXCELLENT.
Our guide Show was so knowledgeable not only about Tokyo, but also about the history of Japan and current cultural changes. His insight and openness in talking about these topics is what made the tour so amazing. Also, Show reached out to us via email well in advance of the tour to seek our interest which he used to plan the tour. If you are fortunate enough to have Show as your guide, you are in luck!

Nori is one of the most amazing guides I have ever met anywhere in the world. - Nori is an amazing guide. She was so accommodating with our requests. Honestly, I have traveled all across the world so many times. She has to be the kindest, most compassionate and patient guide that I have EVER met. She was so accommodating with our daughter (who was jet lagged and was making the tour difficult. I will never forget her and hopefully next time I visit Tokyo, I can see her again. Thank you!

Our guide Show was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided us great insight into the history and culture of Japan. - We had a 4 hour private tour with our guide Show, on Saturday May 25, 2024. In a word, the tour was EXCELLENT. Here’s why:
Show reached out well in advance of the tour to ask about our interests and what we wanted to see. He then took that information, and through a few more emails came up with a detailed plan for the tour that was tailored to us.
Show was very knowledgeable, not only about the areas we were visiting but also in his general knowledge of Japanese culture and history. He also had great real world experience - having lived in a number of other Asian countries - and a prior career in business - that gave his comments real perspective.
I don’t know if you can request a specific guide through this agency, but if you can get Show you are in luck!
Note, we were two North Americans on this tour, father and 20 something son, and we both found the tour to be an excellent introduction to Tokyo and Japan in general.

Honeymooning in Tokyo - Everything was amazing, Miya helped us so much with everything, she helped us with train tickets, where to buy a camera, and also good shopping. The touristic places were amazing as well, everything was perfect. We couldnt be happier, cant wait to come back, and have her help us again!

Tour of older Tokyo Neighborhoods - The private tour with Hideki- San was excellent and covered the topic most interesting to me, i.e. seeing some of Tokyo’s older neighborhoods and architecture. Hideki spoke excellent English and his knowledge about Tokyo was outstanding.

Half Day with Kay in Tokyo - Kay, our guide was phenomenal. She came prepared with resources snd information we wanted about the attractions we choose to see. She expertly guided us through the subways and trains for an enjoyable day, learning to navigate the transportation system.
Every detail of our half day was great!. I would highly recommend Kay.

Great start to our stay in Tokyo - Bruce SUGANO was an excellent guide for our little group. He was helpful and patient, and as a former teacher he connected with my 14 yr old niece and gave her some fun pointers for her Japanese studies. It was a great start to our stay in Tokyo
