Private 8 hour Tour is the way to go!! - Our guide, Yoshii, provided us with a day packed with rich history and great food. We asked and received so much more in our 8 hour tour of Toyko. Day was planned so efficiently! Truly an amazing experience that couldn't of been possible without Yoshii's guidance!

Tour of Tokyo with Local Guide - Kazu was our guide. He contacted me by email prior to the tour to agree our itinerary. We met on time and had a wonderful tour of public gardens and local neighbourhoods. Kazu provided us with the right amount of interesting information and accompanied us on the train and subway system to all points of interest. I can throughly recommend this tour.

The greatest to ever do it - Mr. Yasuho Suzuki was amazing! What a treat to have him take us all over Tokyo for 8 hours plus! He’s older than everyone in our group, but we were always falling behind him! He was a wealth of knowledge and a kind soul. Always a joke and a tip ready on the end of his tongue. We are enriched having spent time with him. A gem of a human. Ask him about Yankee Stadium!

A very enjoyable and interesting tour. - Our guide, Haru was excellent. He communicated with us before the tour, which was really good and made sure we were happy with our planned itinerary. On the day everything went smoothly and we visited really interesting places. Haru explained everything perfectly and we learnt so much about the Japanese traditions and culture. Also, it was at the right pace and Haru was very flexible when it came to making a couple of changes due to the weather! We were very happy with our tour and a big thank you to Haru for making it so memorable.

Wonderful Tour! - We are a family of three that booked the 8 hour tour with private guide. We were contacted quicky by our guide, Yoshii. We provided Yoshii with some sites we wanted to see North (Akihabara, Asakusa Sensoji Temple, Sky Tree) and West (Shinjuku-Godzilla Head, Cat Billboard, Tokyo Metropolitan Gov't Building, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and ending at Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Yoshii mentioned there was not ample time for Sky Tree so he filled in added time with various sites in the Akihabara area as well as the Shinjuku and Shibuya areas. Yoshii was also so helpful finding places to eat and obtaining access to restaurants. Throughout the tour Yoshii taught us a lot of the Japanese history and culture. Our plan was to end the tour in Shibuya and spend some free time exploring before heading back to central Tokyo. However, with the rain and long day we decided to head back to the hotel. Yoshii stayed with us and navigated the train system with us back to our hotel. We highly recommend a tour with a private guide and if you get Yoshii you won't be disappointed!

Excellent Custom Tokyo Tour - Great tour, customized to my interests, Edo period cultural sites. Mr. Seky was an excellent guide who reached out to me before the tour and proposed an itinerary based on my interests. Tokyo is a large city, and having a tour guide who efficiently navigated the geography was invaluable. Also Mr. Seky was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared his insights and suggestions. I highly recommend this tour. Thank Mr. Seky.

First time tour in Japan - Our tour guide was An, she was amazing, very informative and proactive from the start with making sure we were good to go. Was a bit more walking than anticipated which was tough with one in the group being elderly with bad knees. We also planned this tour on Feb 8th which is a cold time of year for them. Lows in the 30°s and highs in the 40°s (Fahrenheit). Overall we highly recommend An and the experience through Viatour. Was safe and reliable.

Great Tour - We had an 8 hour tour with Nobu, who was fantastic! Nobu took us all over and shared plenty about Tokyo and Japan with us. We had seen a lot of the sites previously but had a whole new level of appreciation for them after visiting with a guide.
