Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful time with Sena exploring the food culture of Japan and Tokyo. She was very open minded and outspoken about culture, food, traveling and gave us a better sense of how living and growing up in Japan feels like. After our tour Sena provided us with additional food tips in Tokyo, but also for our other stops in Osaka and Kyoto. I can highly recommend booking a tour with her!"
"I had a lovely time being shown around. The sights were amazing! I love the history facts, glad we were able to make the temple that was a sight! Sheilina was delightful very easy to talk to, showed me shopping areas and eating areas! Even a delicious warm corn drink !! Thank you so much for a great time!!"
"Exploring Tokyo with Joanne was an absolute highlight of our trip. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and has a real passion for sharing her city. Joanne showed us both famous spots and hidden gems we would have never found on our own, all while making everything fun and easy to understand. We learned so much and felt truly connected to Tokyo thanks to her. Highly recommend! 🌸🇯🇵"
"It’s the first time in Tokyo and we decided walking tour would be a good introduction. Alessandra was very responsive to my messages before we met. She arrived on time and was friendly, personable and knowledgeable in answering our questions. She also showed us restaurants and a great sushi place for lunch. I would be happy to meet Alessandra again for another tour! "

"Lovely experience dining with Sena. Interesting and delicious restaurants. Excellent recommendations for other places to dine and day trips to experience. Very knowledgeable. "
"Carlos was a fountain of knowledge regarding Japan and the local area, We had conversations covering history, politics, education, lifestyle and everything through to pet cafes and K-pop ! Great stop at a Matcha cafe which converted us. I can’t recommend enough how beneficial this tour was for us."
"Was lovely to meet Gulay for a few hours and get her insights of life inTokyo and the sights around Shibuya. She helped us understand things from customs around temples to practicalities on booking trains and use of the subway. A delightful lady and the conversation with her was very easy and friendly. Our 3 hours passed very quickly but she took a little longer to make some great recommendations for our following time in Tokyo. I was very pleased to have booked her as our guide - well worth it. "
"I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Sheilina. She was incredibly adaptable and attentive to all my requests. Although it was raining heavily, that didn’t stop us from exploring all the planned sights. Sheilina made thoughtful adjustments and suggestions to adapt to the weather conditions, ensuring the experience remained enjoyable. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to explore Tokyo."
"We visited the Shibuya District and Meiji-Jingu Shrine with Sayuri as our guide. She was warm and attentive, adjusting the route based on our interests and sharing some personal insights along the way. The tour felt relaxed and well-paced, and we appreciated her thoughtful approach. Overall, it was a pleasant experience that we can definitely recommend."
"Kennedy took onboard everything we’d said when booking & took us to the Meiji Jingu shrine sharing with us so much about both the history (pointing out details we’ve seen in the other shrines/temples we’ve since visited) and etiquette of visiting shrines which has been hugely valuable. "
