The best of Tokyo in one day with the best guide - Our guide was Masa, the best guide we could dream of, as he was very reliable, competent, professional. He picked us up at Narita airpots which we highly appreciated. It was the only tour which offers this option but it’s very convenient when the hotel is close to the airport. We wrote a lot back and forth before the trip to give him our wish list and he created for us the best possible tour around Tokyo’s hotspots. Thank to him we saw so much of Tokyo even if it was only during one day as our time was limited. Masa gave his best to make this tour really an unforgettable experience and was also very flexible to make it all possible. Great compliment to such a dedicated guide with huge knowledge. He was our luck. Thank you Masa.

A great day! - We had a fabulous day with Koba! He is professional, knowledgeable and kind. In addition to visiting the many sites we had agreed upon in advance of our visit, we had great conversations about Japanese culture. We are grateful to have met Koba early in our visit to Tokyo. He gave us great insights and information and we will carry them during the remainder of our time here.

Highly recommend for a true Tokyo experience! - I had an incredible experience with my guide, Izumi! He was exceptionally knowledgeable and took me to all the must-see sites in Tokyo, including hidden gems away from the typical tourist spots, just as I requested. Izumi guided me through shrines, temples, the Tokyo National Museum, and even the Imperial Palace, providing fascinating insights every step of the way. What made the experience even better was his patience in teaching me how to navigate the subway and train system, making the rest of my trip much easier. I truly got my money’s worth and felt well taken care of throughout the tour. If you’re looking for an informative, friendly guide who can show you both the highlights and local secrets of Tokyo, I highly recommend Izumi!

Great 8 hour tour - Haru was a fantastic guide. We would not have seen as many interesting places in Tokyo and would not have learned so much about them without his guidance and knowledge. We would highly recommend.

No better way to find your feet if you are new to Japan. - We couldn’t be happier with the day spent with Masa san. It was the perfect introduction to Japan and an absolute pleasure being shown around by such a happy and knowledgeable guide. Tokyo did not bring the best weather, but Masa san made it work, he expertly made some quick changes when the weather was not the best for the plan and made sure we were both dry and happy. The communication prior to our trip was excellent and our guide was happy to make plans around what we wanted to see. Having not been to Tokyo before we left it up to the guide and we weren’t disappointed. It was the perfect way to start our trip and after a day with a local expert we were confident in being able to tackle the local transport systems and find our way around. I would say that little helping hand made it worthwhile by itself, but adding being taken to some awesome locations and having a personal photographer, interpreter and genuinely nice gentleman showing the way, the value for money was well worth it. Thank you Masa san for showing us around your exciting part of the world.

Tokyo Tour - We had a great time with Seizo and saw a lot of sights. He is very knowledgeable and generous with sharing that knowledge. We agreed on a plan of sights to see before we left and saw all of those. We do wish we had asked him to slow down at some sights or change the plan so we could explore the sights better. But would 100% do a tour with Seizo again.
