Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. ⸻ "
"I can't express enough how pleased we were with Gerald. Immediately upon introductions, he was easy to 'hang' with, fun to converse with, and had an easy sense of humor. The pace was perfect. Nothing felt rushed, yet we covered a lot of territory. Overall, it felt like hanging out in the city with your best friend- only if your best friend knew everything about Tokyo culture. We will definitely seek Gerald on our next Tokyo trip. Thanks, Gerald!"
"We had an amazing time with Gerald! He was in constant contact with us and plan our tour based on our interest and likings. Gerald is very knowledgeable and personable, exactly what we were looking for! He asked us if we needed any assistance getting oriented on some Tokyo 101 (navigating the trains, etc.), showed us a few “must see” sights and gave us tips on other local spots including foods and desserts."
"Sena provided a great food tour in Tokyo. We had requested a non-tourist experience and she was happy to make that happen. The 10 tastings were very good and reflective of what a Tokyo resident would get to eat. In addition she was very informative about the area as well as the lifestyle of Tokyo. I highly recommend Sena if you are visiting Tokyo. "
"Sena was informative and engaging. She explained all of the foods to us and gave some good recommendations. We highly recommend her."
"We had a great time with Gerald in Tokyo. He was particularly good with our 2 little girls and showed them all the special shops they loved.. interesting tour and Gerald gave us a lot of information you couldn’t get anywhere else. Thanks again.!"
"Abu was excellent. From the moment we met, until the moment we said Goodbye. Our journey with Abu was created after a quick conversation at our meeting point. He took us on a great walking journey which worked all of our senses. His knowledge was outstanding, from history to current trends, and all along the way he gave us great recommendations of other things to see and do around Tokyo and other parts of the country. He also has a pretty good eye and took photos of our group a few times in beautiful locations. That was definitely a bonus. It was also one of the people in our groups birthdays, and Abu recommended a restaurant (which we were able to get into the following night). The dinner was delicious, but the only thing missing was Abu….i wish we would have extended an invitation to him. Next time we are in Japan, I will definitely book an adventure with Abu. "
"Had a wonderful day at Minatomirai and Chinatown with our tour guide, Sheilina. She quickly shifted from our original Shibuya tour due to a mishap that occurred on our end. This walking tour was informative and enjoyable. Had fun at the CupNoodle factory and enjoyed our tour and authentic Chinese lunch at Chinatown. I would not hesitate to book her again, should the opportunity arise."
"We started the tour on time. Gulay was informative and pleasant to work with. Having spent time chatting before our tour date, she knew what we were looking for - reasonably priced Restos and cafes - and even directed us to the Ramen place. We look forward to having another tour with Gulay, should we get another chance to visit Tokyo. "
"Very kind and knowledgeable on all the sights in Kyoto!!"
