Exceptional - Our tour guide was Vanessa and she was delightful. She met us at our hotel and made suggestions before we started. We opted to start at the farthest place first and we were on our way. Vanessa was very knowledgeable about all the places we saw and was able to answer all our questions! We had a great time with her and would do it again if she could be our tour guide!

Highly recommended! - We were out with Vanessa. It was a private tour. Vanessa was very well-informed, and as a native speaker, it was of course beneficial for us that she could explain everything to us in German. She was also very proficient in the Japanese language. She was attentive to our wishes and schedules. We were able to design the tour very flexibly with her. We can only recommend it.

Japan the highlight on our RW Tour - We were very happy to have Jero from Shiny Tours by our side on our trip through Tokyo and Kyoto. Competent and friendly, he responded to our wishes, so we were able to experience all the highlights of our bucket list and much more. Through him we learned a lot more about the country and people and were infected by his enthusiasm for Japan! This was certainly not our last encounter with this great country, thanks in part to Jero!

A perfect day in Tokyo! Tip: Be sure to book the 8h tour with lunch! - We spent a whole day with Jero from Shimy Tours – and can really recommend it without restriction. Actually, we only wanted to book a 4-hour tour at first. Fortunately, we changed our minds and chose the 8-hour tour. Looking back, that was exactly right: Tokyo is so versatile – and Jero knows how to show off this diversity perfectly. In addition to the famous sights, it also takes you to small, hidden places that you would never have discovered on your own. That's exactly what you need more time for. Our day began in Nihonbashi with exciting insights into the Bank of Japan and the Torch Tower construction site. Afterwards, we headed to the beautiful eastern gardens of Tokyo Imperial Palace with the impressive remains of Edo Castle. A real highlight was the lunch in Ueno: Our tip – book the tour including lunch! For a small extra charge, Jero takes care of an authentic restaurant serving typical Japanese food. We had fantastic Gyukatsu – a treat! We continued through the lively market street Ameya-Yokochō to Asakusa. There, one highlight followed another: from Azuma Bridge to the imposing Kaminarimon, the historic Nakamise-dori, the impressive Hōzōmon and Sensō-ji. In between there were always small culinary stops – for example the famous Melonpan from Kagetsudō 😋 – and in the evening we ended the day relaxing in Hoppy Street. Jero is an outstanding guide: extremely knowledgeable, flexible, personable and with a great sense of what interests his guests. Clear recommendation: Book 8 hours and take lunch with you – it’s absolutely worth it! 🙌

Amazing cultural and educational tour of Tokyo - Jero was absolutely one of the best tour guides ever! We covered so much of Tokyo (5 different areas) in one day. He gave us great historical context and all kinds of useful information about the Japanese culture. A 5 star tour!
