"Sena was an absolute pleasure to wander Shibuya with and we hit all the key places - Shibuya Crossing, Meiji shrine, Yoyogi Park, and Harajuku. What my friend and I loved most was that she took us to viewing areas that only the locals would know about, so we were able to show our other friends when they arrived later. I would highly recommend touring with Sena - she’s amazing!"
"I cannot recommend Gulay highly enough! We did a 90mins tour starting next to the famous Shibuya Crossing and then explored the area. Gulay showed us some great hidden gems like little bars, the best ramen places and a small neighborhood where the locals live. She also really kindly bought us some matcha drinks and cake :) Gulay was super knowledgeable about the history and culture of Tokyo, answered all our questions and gave us some amazing recommendations for restaurants and sites to visit and avoid. Honestly felt like we were going around with a friend we’d known for years. 100% recommend! Thanks Gulay :) "
"Sheilina was a great guide on our first day in Tokyo. She showed us all the highlights on where to shop, eat and even how to navigate the subway. Thank you Sheilina for all the information and wonderful time! "
"My friends and I had an amazing experience with Sayuri in Asakusa! She was extremely helpful, communicative, knowledgeable, and just genuinely fun to be with. When I booked the tour a few weeks in advance, Sayuri reached out ahead of time about a schedule conflict. Fortunately, we had the option to stick with her and tour a different day, which was absolutely the right decision. She did a great job showing us all the ins and outs of the Asakusa district and introduced us to a whole load of new snacks and foods on top of it. To top it off she even managed to help us pick a place and make reservations for dinner later that day! My friends and I are super grateful to her and I can’t recommend Sayuri enough!"
"We had a great time learning about Japanese culture and exploring Tokyo with Kennedy! She is very knowledgeable and helped us get acquainted with this beautiful city."
"The tour was very cool, but what made it to great was Sane, our guide.
She made sure we had a good pace, and offered us alternatives. She also answered questions about Tokyo and Japan and gave us advice. Her English was great of course.
We would definitely sign up with her again."
"We had a wonderful day exploring Shibuya with Sena! She taught us about Shintoism and brought us to the beautiful Meiji Jingu. We shared a delicious Udon lunch together and then found the coolest small coffee shop. Such hidden gems! Thank you Sena! "
"Had a brilliant food tour with Sayuri. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. My fiancée and I had a great time - couldn’t recommend highly enough!"
"We had such a lovely time with Sena. She took us around Shibuya area for gyoza sushi and sake. My wife has food allergies and Sena checked with with us ahead of time to make sure we would not eat prohibited foods AND she confirmed with the restaurant the day of the tour which made us feel very comfortable and was appreciated. Sena was also wonderful and answered us many questions that we had about Tokyo. She also made herself available after the tour "
