Nice tour if you have limited time - Great way for a visit with limited time. Our guide Eduardo was very knowledgeable and informative and presented detailed cultural background based on his own experience.

Customized tour, great guide - Our tour with Francine was amazing! We started at the Sensoji-temple, got a fortune-paper and took great photos. Because we are Animé-Fans, Francine customized our tour and took us to great places and stores, away from the usual tourist routes. We had a great time and were lucky we had such a lovely guide! I definitely recommend the tour!

Unforgettable thanks to Nadia, great guide:-) - We would like to express our complete satisfaction following the private discovery of Tokyo with Nadia on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. We were delighted to meet a very attentive young woman, of great competence and who has perfect command of French. His very specific comments and wise advice were very valuable. The choice of sites visited very judicious considering the time available to us: from 9am to 5pm. We also appreciated his great availability and extreme kindness. In summary, this day remains a highlight of our stay in Japan 🇯🇵 which we will keep an excellent memory. A huge thank you Nadia to whom we wish an excellent continuation. Alain and Stella, Jean and Jackie (France)

Best day in Tokyo - Cristiano was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and in tune with our goals for the day. We had an easy time navigating public transit with him. Box lunch outside the Imperial Palace was a great idea and he knew exactly the right place for photos. He made our day in Tokyo very memorable.

Fabulous tour with Maria - Our tour guide Maria was fabulous. She made sure we were able to enjoy Tokyo and hit all of the historical and cultural highlights (both old and new culture). We enjoyed the old historical places, the markets and some new cultural highlights.

While I received a survey... - While I received a survey about what I would want for the tour none of that was passed on to the guide. I spent time listing all the sites we would cover with the tour we would begin in a few days and none of this was shared. Thus nothing was prepared and we were asked what we should do. Since we had arrived in Tokyo late the ever before we had no clue. It became a hit or miss three hours

To flee - Does not match the description! Disappointing! - The guide was friendly but did not master Tokyo's history and historical sites. We visited a temple, a shopping street and a shopping center in 4 hours! The visit did not reflect the description of the proposed activity!!! Run away! Big disappointment from the whole family.
