"Sheilina did a great job with our tour. She’s knowledgeable, good natured and fun. We ate great Ramen, shopped, sampled pasties and even saw a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony being held in a beautiful park. We highly recommend Sheilina for a tour and great insights into Tokyo.
Thank you!"

A wonderful day exploring
"Had a great day exploring Tokyo. Lots of tips and tricks as well as good humor and great insight "
"Sena was a wonderful guide. She introduced us to many new Japanese foods and eating experiences and also gave us great tips for the rest of our trip. 10/10 highly recommended!"
"Ai was wonderful. Book Ai with confidence.
Very friendly, humble and knowledgeable.
We enjoyed each food stop. Delicious bites. You will end the tour stuffed.
She communicates well leading up to the food tour day.
You won’t be disappointed. "
"Seden, truly made my family’s food tour memorable. She speaks perfect English and is fluent in both Japanese and the culture. She took the four of us on a food tour of what the locals like to eat versus the more common tourist traps. She also led us through a beautiful night stroll through a park. The walk was needed because to digest between all of the meals. Trust me, you need a huge appetite to finish off all the food. We didn’t even come close! The most unique meal was the hot table but my favourite was the sushi bar because of the setting and chefs omakase. If you love food, this tour is a must!"
"Seden was a fantastic guide for our first day in Tokyo. She was kind and thoughtful in helping us to manage our two very overtired boys. She found ways to interest them, give them breaks and answered all of their questions. She also helped us with some specific shopping recommendations, which was great. It was very interesting to hear about her career designing kimonos and her experiences of living and working in Japan.
We thoroughly recommend Seden as a guide, she’s a delightful person and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much!!"
"Gulay was a total gem. She customized a tour that completely fit out interests, desired pace, and attention spans. She has so much to share about her experience in Tokyo and what makes Japan special. Allow her surprise you with some angles and quirks of the city and her creativity will inspire! 10/10!"
"We wanted to book a food tour to get to understand the local culture as one of the first things on our three-week trip to Japan, and Seden was the absolute perfect guide. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. We learned about an area we wouldn’t have had a chance to explore on our own, and got the true local experience. She took us to so many incredible spots and made sure that we got to try a little bit of everything, while explaining the local traditions and even some Japanese history. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Seden more, it’s a must-do for anyone coming to Japan!!!"
"Sena guided my daughter and myself in Shibuya and the nearby area. She has every quality anyone would want in a guide. Sena has vast knowledge of Japan and its largest city. Her understanding of westerners and english is amazing. She seamlessly can walk, listen, comprehend completely, always being intuitive, smile, laugh and guide us through crowds like the true pro that she is. Sena can relate with an older man and young adult woman at the same time. If you are considering a guide while in Tokyo, Sena is simply the very best."
"We had the absolute pleasure of spending three unforgettable hours with Selen as our guide in Tokyo. The time flew by, and it felt less like a tour and more like catching up with an old friend.
Selen was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable, bringing Tokyo to life for us in such a unique and personal way. Her stories, insights, and humor made the experience not only educational but also genuinely enjoyable.
Thanks to her warm personality and deep connection to the city, we left with a greater appreciation for Tokyo and some truly wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a guide who makes you feel at home while exploring a fascinating city, Selen is the perfect choice!
Thank you, Selen, for such a special day!"
