Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an amazing tour of Shibuya with Sheilina! Even though it was a rainy day, it didn’t dampen our experience one bit. We actually arrived a little early and were able to get started right away once we connected with her, which was a great bonus. Sheilina was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to all the must-see spots while sharing great insights along the way. She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and spoke excellent English, which made everything seamless for our group. Traveling with kids ranging from 11 to 22 can be tough to please everyone, but she nailed it—every single one of them enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend Sheilina if you’re looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience in Shibuya!"
"We visited Tokyo as a family with our six-year-old child and booked a tour through Go with Locals – it was hands down the best decision of our trip. Our Highlights: • Stress-free through Shibuya: Anyone who has been to Tokyo knows how overwhelming Shibuya can be. Our guide navigated us through the crowds so smoothly that we could actually soak in the atmosphere instead of just staring at a map. • Hidden Gems: Beyond the famous landmarks, we saw many small highlights and local spots that we would have completely missed without local expertise. • Perfect for Kids & Authentic: Sheilina was fantastic with our child. It wasn't just dry sightseeing; it felt like a real adventure for the whole family."
"Superb tour, Sayuri's knowledge of Tokyo was very good, she gave us a choice of train or walk, we decided due to weather train would be better. We only had JR tickets so she helped us get underground tickets She took us to lunch in a lovely ramen restaurant which we would never have found on our own, or tried, the Shinto shrine was lovely again would we have found it on our own? Probably not She went over and above in helping us arrange a trip on the bullet train, the tour had finished and she stayed to help us and make sure everything was ok. Sayuri was very personable and we enjoyed our 3 hours with her. It was so nice to be shown around rather than trying to do it ourselves and miss a lot of it We cannot recommend her highly enough "

"I booked Gulay for half a day during our first day in Tokyo specifically to get help and tips. Our tour was focused on Meiji shrine, Harajuku and Shibuya. It fulfilled what we needed perfectly and Gulay was friendly and informative before, during and after our tour. She goes above and beyond. Thanks Gulay!"
"I am almost cool now. Sena took our family around some of the most crowded, colourful and high energy streets. While my teenagers recognized much of it Sena was so great at explaining everything to me, while engaging with our teens directly. Had we gone on our own we would have missed a lot of the special parts that aren’t so obvious to westerners. "
"Abu was excellent. From the moment we met, until the moment we said Goodbye. Our journey with Abu was created after a quick conversation at our meeting point. He took us on a great walking journey which worked all of our senses. His knowledge was outstanding, from history to current trends, and all along the way he gave us great recommendations of other things to see and do around Tokyo and other parts of the country. He also has a pretty good eye and took photos of our group a few times in beautiful locations. That was definitely a bonus. It was also one of the people in our groups birthdays, and Abu recommended a restaurant (which we were able to get into the following night). The dinner was delicious, but the only thing missing was Abu….i wish we would have extended an invitation to him. Next time we are in Japan, I will definitely book an adventure with Abu. "
"We had a great tour of shibuya with Sheilina! The weather wasn’t great but the guiding was ! Despite the rain we visited all the main sites and learned a lot about the local history , traditions and culture . Thanks Sheilina for a wonderful afternoon! "
"Gulay was the perfect guide for us. She was knowledgeable about history and customs, and shared so many great spots to check out . She even followed up with links to many of the places we talked about and answered questions we had afterwards. Too notch guide! "
"We had a fantastic time on our tour of Shibuya. Sheilina is an absolutely wonderful guide. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, as well as flexible and able to cater to what we were most interested in seeing and doing. Highly recommended!"
