Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Sena was amazing! Even before the tour she was getting to know our family through chat. Sena was very communicative and responsive. Even in the busy center of Shibuya, we easily found each other. Our tour was the 'Highlights & Hidden Gems of the Shibuya district' which stared off with a great spot to view the city then off to taste some of the cuisine before heading to the subway. We didn't have our IC cards set up so she was really helpful to get the whole family set up. It was a breeze to get from place to place. From there we had a great visit to a Shinto Shrine and off to see the Harajuku area. Not only was Sera amazing at speaking about each of the stops, she was really friendly to get to know us and tell us about her experiences. She eve helped d us with other spots for our vaction. If you are looking for a fun tour with a great guide, Sena is the best choice!"
"We had a good adventure from Ai to show us around and telling us everything we asked and wondered about. We loved to know more of the culture and history! Ai also showed us many places that we wanted to go and see. She also got us a taxi at the end. Ai is kind and wonderful person in all ways! We enjoyed our time greatly. Thank you again for amazing memories! <3"
"From the start Sayuri came across as an intelligent and articulate woman. I feel I was lucky to get such a high quality tour guide. Before the tour, all I knew about Shibuya was the pedestrian crossing. Thanks to Sayuri I know all about the other reasons to visit Shibuya, such as the shopping and the Meiji Jingu shrine. A first class tour by a first class tour guide!!"
"Gulag was so kind — we were late! She had a ton of great recommendations for restaurants which we followed. She was super helpful showing us how to use the train. Super knowledgeable about culture, shopping, history. We had a great time!"
"Great experience seeing East Tokyo with lots of insider info. (I particularly loved the sashimi donburi place he pointed me to for lunch.) "
"We fully enjoyed walking around the main streets and of highlights of Shibuya with Sena. The area is vibrant and crowded, Sena guided us to the most iconic spots like the Shibuya crossing, we saw it from above and did the crossing in person. We visited some nice comercial areas all reachable from the train station underground. We walked around the old streets were authentic small food booths are located. We went sake tasting. Sena kindly recommended and drop us to an excellent restaurant that served great sushi. We highly recommend Sena."
"On our second day in Japan, my father (77), my sons (17 and 20) and I took the Highlights & Hidden Gems of the Shibuya district tour with Seden. We were very satisfied with this experience. "
"Despite a rainy day, Abu made our intro to Tokyo one to remember. Very helpful, flexible and knowledgeable. No hesitation in recommending him. Thx Abu 🙏🏾"
"Our tour through Japan turned into a truly tremendous adventure — all thanks to the one and only Sheilina! From the very first moment, she radiated an friendly, warm energy that immediately made us feel welcome and incredibly well taken care of. Sheilina was the embodiment of attentiveness, kindness, and genuine care. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Her helpfulness knew no bounds, her sense of humor was absolutely delightful, and she always had our happiness at heart. It was crystal clear that she wanted nothing but the absolute best for us, and she worked with true dedication to ensure our satisfaction at every step. One moment that deeply moved us: even before the tour officially started, Sheilina went out of her way to stand in line at the incredibly popular donut shop “I am Donut” — just to bring us a treat from one of the most sought-after spots in town. That act of thoughtfulness truly touched us. We are endlessly grateful to Sheilina for her warmth, her loving energy, and for turning this tour into something truly magical. With her caring heart and sparkling personality, she gave us an experience we will never forget. Arigato gozaimasu Sheilina PS: Sheilina's fluency in English was amazing!!!"
"we did the shibuya tour w/ sheilina, and she was great. it was me, my 6 yo son, and parents, and she was able to accommodate all our needs and interests. specifically, we had just arrived from the states the night before and were severely jetlagged, and my son was quite cranky. she kept him occupied and entertained why allowing my parents and i to sightsee. she also showed us how to buy tickets at the train station and pointed out interesting restaurants and places to buy snacks. i will be doing another tour w/ her in asakusa, and i can't wait!"
