Made us feel like locals! - We loved Tokyo, and one of the reasons is Simon, our tour guide. He took us to places where Japanese people go, so we avoided the touristy places and felt like locals. I would have never tried street food if Simon was not there to point out the best places! With him, we discovered neighborhoods that we would never have known, with combining site seeing, and discovering hidden gems like a little brewery at the end of an alley, a bakery with the nicest Japanese sweets in a backyard (of course he told us what to get-and it was delicious 🤤) and a place to drink matcha the Japanese way in the middle of a beautiful garden (but the most famous one that everyone goes 😉) We also discussed a lot about the Japanese history, language and culture with him and understood a few things about this wonderful place that is so different from what we know!

A perfect start to Japan - From contact prior to the day until our tour’s day end Simon was everything we could have hoped for in a guide. Simon was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, he listened to us and discovered our liking for the history, the ancient trees and our sentimental reason for visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura (common name). A perfect day exploring and learning interspersed with tea and sweets, lunch in a local restaurant and later a coffee. I highly recommend Simon as a tour guide and Historic Kamakura tour in particular.
