Well custom sized to our needs! Family with 2 kids - Very well done tour. Our tour guide Aki reached out prior to the trip to understand what we were looking for, our group size and ages and physical abilities. We have 2 kids on their first big international trip ages 10 and 13. He customized the trip perfectly with just the right amount of culture, history and shopping. Explained the significance and history and was extremely helpful with tips and guidance for the rest of our trip. He worked hard the full day! The kids had a blast. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend!

We chose not to visit the... - We chose not to visit the typical historical sites we might visit in another city. Instead the tour focused on the daily experience and culture of life in Tokyo. We saw active neighborhoods, markets and shopping districts. We gained a lot of perspective into Japanese attitudes and life. It was very informative and fascinating. Our tour guide was a Westerner who has lived here over twenty years, providing him with terrific insights.

One full day in tokyo - This is was the perfect setup for spending one day in tokyo Hayato was like a friend i knew from before and was casually showing me around the best places and eating at local spots He had such a flexible schedule to changes It made us cover so many things in one day Didnt expect i could do so much in one day and not waste time trying to figure out my next step Kodus for hayato and the team for being able to customize this nicely

Excellent Guided Day Tour in Tokyo - Seiji gave us an absolutely superlative tour in and around Tokyo. He is very personable and knowledgeable, not to mention fluent in English, Japanese and Hebrew. His youth and work experience in Tokyo gives him the perfect background for guiding visitors. He met us at our hotel for this metro and walking based tour of the important cultural spots as well as the popular tourist areas. We enjoyed his insights into the culture over lunch. As a former rickshaw driver he also arranged a rickshaw ride for us that was delightful. If you have a day in Tokyo Seiji is the tour guide to spend it with!!!

Fantastic walking tour! - Aki was our tour guide. He was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. We were also able to customize our tour, which was great! Outside of the typical things to see, he showed and shared things that a typical tourist would not know. We had interesting conversations about the differences between Western & Japanese cultures…A great experience!!
