Experience tomorrow the best of
Tokyo with Withlocals

"Abu provided a highly personalized, knowledgeable, and friendly experience for our family and friends. Abu's expertise in local culture, history, and food really made for an outstanding evening. More importantly, his flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to our specific interests made all the difference to create an ideal outing and maximizing our little time in Tokyo. Good English. Very recommended experience!"

"Sheilana was puntual, easy going and gave us an awesome mixture of the main sights, mixed with places we would never have discovered on our own. Tasty snacks, quirky tales. We would highly recommend her any time."

"Sena guided my husband and me on the Drinks & Bites Tour through Kichijoji. Communication was easy and sincere from the very beginning. Her open and kind manner made us feel comfortable right away. And we had some good laughs together. She always had several food options prepared and catered to all our requests. She took us to places we would never have found on our own, such as a yakitori restaurant where many salarymen were enjoying their after-work beer. All of her food recommendations were amazing! The tour with Sena was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely book her as our guide again on our next trip! "

"We book a lot of Withlocals tours and we all think Gerald was one of the best. From describing how Sensoji was rebuilt after the utter destruction of the war to explaining some of the nuances of Japanese culture, Gerald had a unique way of connecting the dots for both the adults and teenagers. We all walked away with more than just surface understanding of the culture and are grateful. Plus he fed us some of the best street food we’ve had in Tokyo… not a tourist in sight. "

"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. "

"We had such a nice time with Sheilina! She helped create a custom tour based on our experience, even helping us to locate special snacks and diapers for our baby! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, accommodating tour guide! "

"Kennedy was amazing. She had done her homework on us from the message I had sent explaining how we would like to spend the time with her. We booked Kennedy for our second day of our three week stay in Japan and asked her all about train tickets, experiences and ideas that she thought would be of interest specificly to us. The time went quickly but we learnt so much about the Japanse culture and modern thinking. Also she helped us book for the theatre which we wouldn't have known about unless she had told us. Also, she continued to give us ideas after our visit. Over all, I can highly recommend Kennedy if you would like to experience this amount of detail in your time."

"We just had three tours with Marc during our stay in Tokyo and were so grateful for the insight he gave us on the inner workings of Japanese culture & traditions while showing us around Tokyo. Truly enjoyed our time with him exploring different areas, and Marc took great care to learn of our interests and tailor the tours accordingly, showing us some truly authentic sides of Tokyo that were off the beaten path and difficult to know about (or find) if you are not a local. Marc was very easy-going, fun & knowledgeable - we will definitely be recommending him to family & friends who visit Japan in the future!"

"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 "

"Here is a polished review you can post: ⸻ We had an excellent experience touring Tokyo with Sheilina. From the start, she was organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to spend time with. She gave us a great overview of the areas we visited and helped us understand not just what we were seeing, but why it mattered historically and culturally. What really stood out was her flexibility. We had already visited one of the planned stops the day before, and when she learned that, she immediately pivoted and adjusted the itinerary without hesitation. Instead of simply filling time, she surprised our family with a stop at Nintendo — which was a huge hit with our adult kids. Watching them light up over Pokémon and the gaming displays made the experience even more special. Sheilina also shared practical tips that will help us for the rest of our trip — from navigating transit confidently to local food recommendations and cultural etiquette. That kind of guidance goes beyond a typical tour and really helps you feel comfortable in a big city like Tokyo. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting both a thoughtful introduction to Tokyo and a guide who truly listens and adapts to your interests. ⸻ "
