Excellent for location in major areas of Tokyo - Ravisha was great, gave us an informative walk, without becoming excessive, to get to know the main areas of Tokyo, as well as Japanese history and culture. It is a tour that involves a lot of walking, and we had a hot day, but Ravisha was very careful to point out places to get water to keep us well hydrated. We had a great time and learned a lot, and we have group photos to remember this recommendable experience.

Only a few hours in Tokyo? Do this tour!! - Great, fun and jam packed experience! I just had a 15 hour layover in Tokyo on my way back home to NYC from the Philippines and I really wanted to see as much as I could in a few hours. This was the perfect tour for me. Our guide, Firas, helped me so much in navigating the often confusing public transport system in Tokyo. He was very patient and helpful. Once the tour started, Firas was so fun, friendly and very knowledgeable about all the places we were seeing and then some! He took pictures for all of us and gave us so much insight into the culture and traditions. There were 2 other travelers in my group, Angel and Isaac, who were so cool. Being the only girl in the group, I felt like I had big brothers protecting me :). Saw a lot, walked a lot and had a great time! If you only have a day in Tokyo, this is the tour to do!! I’m definitely coming back and will spend more time in Japan!! 1000% recommend this tour!! Five stars!! *****

Awesome Tokyo Tour! - We recently took a city tour with Flip Japan and had a good time. Our guide was informative and the itinerary was well-balanced, covering a mix of historical sites and modern areas. We especially enjoyed Akihabara and Tsukiji. A great choice for first-time visitors to Tokyo!

The best introduction to the City! - This was exactly what I was looking for. The most unique experience that you can only have with someone who knows the city, because by ourselves it would take way too long to find out about the spots, the guide, Leon, knew where to take us after just one fast chat, He has a map with over a thousand spots ready to take us whenever we wanted to see it. I really recommend to people who wants just to enjoy the best of the town like a local and not worrying about how to get there. He also was really kind to explain us everything we needed to know about the public is transportation, in order to we continue our journey in Japan!

A great tour, and a great tour guide (Firas) - This tour and guide (Firas) were amazing. It turned out to be a private solo tour. That meant we could (and did) change plans in an instant. Firas was the guide, and he is exceptional. He knows the history of Japan, or Temples/Shrines, of food, and if you need, of video games and Pokemon. He started out by finding out what I had already done , so as not to repeat things. He came up with three options for tours, each very different. We started out by meeting at my hotel, at 9am. We went to the fish market and had wonderful food. We went to several temples and shrines, and he knows the history and customs of them. We went to various building tops to get a wonderful view of the city from on h!igh. We went to several markets, for food and buying things. He is passionate about food, so he knows where the better food, better prices are. Also, I had been tasked with bringing back specific gifts/items, He was very good at finding the items whether at the market or at a Pokemon Center. We ended the night at the Tokyo Metropolitan Building to watch a projection show. All in all, he was guiding me around for apprx 12 hours, which is way more than he needed to. I think he just enjoyed showing people around the city. So, wonderful tour, make sure you ask for Firas.

MUST DO TOUR FOR YOUR FIRST TIME - Malissa was our guide and showed us everything we had to see in Tokyo and Shinjuku, especially hidden gems that helped us experience authentic Japanese local experiences! She even gave us recommendations for our personal dinners. It was such a valuable experience as it was our first time in Japan and it helped us navigate through the neighborhoods of Shinjuku! This tour is a must do for your first time in Tokyo and learning all the things to do in Japan from a local!

Kamakura/Enoshima Adventure - BOOK WITH FIRAS!!!! - Originally this was suppose to be a Tokyo tour but me and my fiancé were already staying in Tokyo for a week when this tour was previously booked before leaving on our trip. We had already seen majority of what the tour offered. But luckily- Firas, our fantastic tour guide, had reached out and asked us questions on what we liked and what we have done and he was super flexible and had gave us a fun and exciting alternative! He offered us to give us a full day tour to Kamakura and Enoshima which are small countryside cities outside of Tokyo. We did not regret it one bit, he truly made this tour feel more personal and heartfelt! This was not just a tour but a once in a lifetime adventure/journey with Firas!! We are so lucky we got to have Firas as our guide. Extremely knowledgable- knew where he was going, answered any questions or informed us cool historical facts. Kamakura was rich with traditional culture, we got to experience Komachi St. shopping (please try Sugoi Honey especially the yuzu + honey, the cheese and meat deep fried coquettes, Giraffa curry and cheese bread, and the most delicious and yummy Japanese beef sushi which was wagyu beef sushi and included some packages included kamakura’s special baby sardines) & the price was unbeatable for the sushi we got! It would have costed us a fortune at Tsukiji fish market. We also got to experience Hamimangu Shrine and even got to attend a matcha tea ceremony for free (a special ceremony happened earlier that day at the shrine so we lucked out!) The train was so cute and for all my anime lovers out there, it was even featured in the anime “Slam Dunk.” We had the Great Buddha statue nearby, less than 5 minutes in the cute train. Me and my fiancé were at a loss for words when we saw the Great Buddha statue. It was definitely a sight to be seen. If we thought Kamakura was anything special, Enoshima is hard to describe with just words. You must experience Enoshima in person. Enoshima was a beautiful island along the Shonan coast of Kanagawa where you could see the ocean. It offered the famous Enoshima’s Iwaya caves that was a must-see and do while in Enoshima. On the island, there is the Enoshima Sea Candle which is an observation deck tower that gives you a whole view of the island and the water. And the shrines were absolutely breathtaking, Firas was so nice to know that we were newly engaged- and so he brought us to Enoshima shrine’s “Dragon Love Bell.” A romantic hilltop bell that couples can ring following an ancient Dragon legend lore of everlasting love and had padlock walls filled with love messages. We will never forget this life adventure but we also will never forget Firas. We truly were so lucky to have such a passionate and kind human being to be our guide. You can tell his love for Japan is strong, and its his mission to try to make you experience and fall in love with Japan as well. He went back to find our lost umbrella that we had forgotten at the love bell and he even picked up inconsiderate strangers’ trash to help keep Japan clean. We left this tour not only with tremendous memories but we also got to make a new, trustworthy and great friend. Thank you so much for everything Firas!!! Please book with him, you will be in for a terrific adventure like us!

One - day tour, more like having friend in Japan - The most memorable experience we had in Japan is joining the one-day tour and meeting our tour guide Firas. His super friendly, knowledgeable of the history and cities/culture of Japan. Unlike other tours I've join, Firas made our tour experience fun and is very attentive to ensure we are taken care of and comfortable.
