Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Very kind and knowledgeable on all the sights in Kyoto!!"
"Had a great time with Abu , he was an excellent personable guide. "
"We had a fantastic afternoon with Gulay. She was very kind, incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful getting us newbies comfortable with how to use public transport, convenience stores etc as well as touring us around as planned. Gulay went above and beyond with ideas for how we could spend the rest of our time in Tokyo. I would definitely recommend her. This was a great way to start our trip. "
"We had such a great morning with Gulay - met near the Shibuya scramble & walked all over ending up at Omote-sando! Gulay was so knowledgeable & insightful - we learned so much. It was a brilliant tour to take at the beginning of your Tokyo trip. We came away so confident within the city & with lots of brilliant recommendations! Thank you so much Gulay - we’ve already recommended her to our friends & family visiting this year! "
"We really enjoyed our food tour with Sayuri! We visited a part of Tokyo that we might not have seen had we not done the tour, and enjoyed fantastic bites as a great representation of Japans cuisine. We would all recommend the tour if you love eating great food. "
"Outstanding tour with Gulay today! She met us at the Tokyo Hilton for a 3 hour tour of the greater Shinjuku area. Gulay is very knowledgeable of Japanese culture, history, language and current places to go and things to do. She even helped us master the Tokyo subway/train system! She treated us like friends and tailored the tour to our interests without missing a beat. Everything from the Tokyo nightlife scene to the Meiji-Jingu Shrine…fascinating! We would highly recommend her for any Tokyo tour…thank you Gulay!"
"We had the pleasure of Alejandro’s tour a few nights ago in Tokyo. Great locations, drinks & exceptional food! Alejandro was a great guide, very knowledgeable & ensured we all had a fun time from 8 h til 2am! Highly recommended "
"We had a fantastic time exploring Asakusa with Sheilina. She was so friendly and knowledgable, adapted her tour to us and was flexible with changes. It was a great first impression for Japan. Highly recommend to others. "
"Our family of 4 had the best day ever with Gulay! She was really easy to communicate with as we were in touch even before we landed in Tokyo. It was our second day in Japan and we had a crazy thing happen---we ran into fiends from home in the middle of Shibuya crossing on our way to meet Gulay!! We couldn’t have asked for a cooler, warmer, more helpful guide because she quickly jumped in, met everyone and even suggested where we should all meet up for a great dinner after our tour:)) She was super easy to talk to, it truly felt like we met an old friend who was exploring Tokyo with us telling us about all these fun interesting facts. Gulay shared her knowledge of Tokyo, Japanese culture, customs, rituals, food, behavior, where to eat and what to see. She also left us with loads of recommendations for places to explore during our stay and a few off the beaten path restaurants and shopping suggestions. Super fun, happy day thank you SO much Gulay 🤗❤️ and can't recommend her enough!!!:))"
"Sena delivered a wonderful tasting tour that was both memorable and thoughtfully curated. She was patient, highly knowledgeable, and very receptive to our interests, adjusting the experience seamlessly along the way. Her deep understanding of Tokyo’s food culture, combined with effortless navigation through both well known spots and hidden gems, made the tour feel personal and immersive. It was an engaging and relaxed experience that truly brought the city to life."
