Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My brother was visiting from the US and we hired Gulay to give us a tour of the Asukusa area. She came well prepared, she clearly knows the history of the area and was very accommodating to our needs. We arrived hungry and a bit tired, but she quickly found us a bite to eat and allowed us to dictate the pace of the tour. Personally I could have used another few hours with her as there is so much to learn about the area and Gulay knows her stuff. She's personable, pleasant and professional - everything you'd want in a guide. "
"As a food and travel lover, this experience was absolutely perfect. Sena is professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo’s local street food and cuisine. If you’re even slightly on the fence, don’t hesitate; this tour is a must-do."
"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Gerald during our Tokyo city tour. From the very beginning, everything was professional, friendly, and well organized. Gerald took the time to understand our interests, explained everything clearly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. What really stood out was his expertise and genuine passion for Tokyo and its culture. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way, and we felt well supported and valued as guests. We would highly recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable, and enjoyable city tour in Tokyo. We would definitely do it again!"

"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!!"
"Gerald was an incredible guide. He knew exactly where to take our group. Highly recommended!"
"I booked the “Withlocals Your Way! - Tokyo City Tour” tour with Gerald and he absolutely delivered. I gave him a whole list of places I didn’t want to visit and begged to avoid anything touristy — he took it seriously and created a truly local, totally unique Tokyo experience. Our 5 hours flew by as he guided me through neighborhoods I’d never find on my own, sharing insights on Japanese culture, daily life, and all the quirky in-betweens that make Tokyo special. He also taught me how to navigate the subway without looking like a confused extra in a travel drama. Gerald is easygoing, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to hang out with. My only complaint? The tour ended — and Tokyo has the audacity to be very, very big. Just book him. You’ll thank yourself for spending your time well during your Japan adventures."
"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!"
"Gerald was an amazing guide! He took us to a very interesting area of Tokyo, shared a lot of information with us, and answered our many questions. It was exactly what we hoped for - highly recommend! "
"Our group of 6 enjoyed our recent street food tour with Sena in Tokyo. We were able to see an area of Tokyo we wouldn't have seen otherwise and tasted some delicious food we may not have initially chosen for ourselves. Sena answered all our questions and was flexible for our needs . Overall would recommend!"
"My teenage son and I had the best day ever with Gulay. It was our very first bewildering day in Japan and we couldn’t have asked for a kinder, warmer, more helpful guide. Gulay adapted the tour to our needs - not only sharing her knowledge of Tokyo and Japanese culture but also practical advice eg how to use the transport system. Gulay brought the city to life for us and we enjoyed her company immensely. Such a special, happy day thank you so much Gulay 🤗❤️"
