5/5 STARS! Highly Recommend - 5 stars! I had a fantastic time touring Tokyo with Maruf who was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and informative as he took me to all the must sees in Tokyo. Maruf shared with me the history of each spot we went to and took me to some of his favorite secret spots in the city. Could not recommend more, thank you Maruf!!

Great private tour - Great local guide. Marc was fantastic and personalised the walking tour to my interests and desire to see as much of the city as possible in 3-4 hours. He showed me some off the beaten path spots and was friendly, personable and professional at all times.

See much of Tokyo and get a sense of how to get around in just a few hours. - Marc is an excellent guide! He showed me all over, we covered much of the city, and he was very thoughtful and descriptive of how to get around and use the train system. In each area we did a walking loop and he described where the train station was in relation to the places to see there. I got a very good feel for how to get around. Marc also gave some great information on Japanese culture and how to be a good visitor here. Would highly recommend to anyone not familiar with Tokyo.

A good tour - I believe not all of our guides descriptions were totally accurate. This was according to a Japanese friend who lives in Tokyo.
