One day in Tokyo - We only had one day to visit Tokyo, so hiring a guide was the perfect way to make the most of our time. Amir met us at the train station and was incredibly helpful when we had trouble finding the meeting spot—he located us within a minute.
He was personable, knowledgeable, and tailored the tour to our interests and schedule. We especially loved visiting the famous Shibuya Crossing and the Hachiko statue—it was incredible to experience in person.
We highly recommend Amir to anyone wanting a great introduction to Tokyo!

The 4 hour tour was perfect and a great way to start our Tokyo stay. Customised and fun with local knowledge - We had a terrific day with Nicolas. The tour was just perfect and we really appreciated the time he took with us and providing great information, tips and excellent view spots with his local knowledge. It was a memorable day and has also helped us manage getting around Tokyo for the rest of our stay.

Fun, Informative Tour with a Few Tweaks That’d Make It Perfect” - We had a fantastic walking tour in Nara and Fushimi Inari with Amy as our guide. She was brilliant — friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great local tips. She even pointed out where the elusive bins were (like gold dust in Japan!), which we really appreciated.
Amy gave us great advice about feeding the deer — moving away from where the crackers are sold really worked, and we found smaller, gentler deer near the shrine.
The escorted walk from the car park to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove felt unnecessary — we’d have preferred to make our own way there and spend more time exploring. We also spent a little too long in Arashiyama and would’ve liked longer at the Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine to enjoy the 1,000 torii gates.
The WhatsApp group was a great touch — really useful, informative, and perfect for sharing photos afterwards. Fantastic value for money overall, and Amy made the day fun and memorable. Highly recommend!

Seeing Toyko with a great guide, Maria! - This tour was absolutely perfect for us! Maria first contacted me by text, which made me feel very certain that we were going to find her and also that she had good English speaking skills. She knew all of the places that we wanted to visit and expertly helped us find our way around the complicated Tokyo subway. She made sure that we got to all of our requested stops and even made sure that we would be able to get around after the tour. She was extrememly friendly and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend this way of seeing Tokyo. Maria helped us see the largest city in the world in the best way possible! Thank you again!

Shaban bravissimo - Shaban guy really helpful. Nice without ever losing professionalism. Excellent experience of sharing, he went to great lengths to explain many aspects of Japan and the Japanese ranging from customs, culture, history. For us, the added value is also determined by the parallelism that he manages to make: he knows how an Italian eye can find some Japanese customs different but at the same time appreciate new aspects very curious. Very good and I think he can get even better ☺️☺️
