Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Excellent guide in Tokyo. Helped me with shopping and took me to a great sushi and Omakase restaurants. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to spend the day with. I would definitely recommend."
"Alessandra was hugely helpful, provided lots of good advice for our trip and also followed up with further information post our tour. Would definitely recommend. "
"Our day with Gulay in Tokyo was the absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. From the very first email, she was incredibly responsive, helping us craft a custom itinerary that perfectly balanced Tokyo's must-see landmarks with hidden local spots we never would have found on our own.Her knowledge of Tokyo’s history, culture, and architecture is profound, but she shares it in a way that is engaging, conversational, and fun. She navigated the complex subway system effortlessly, saving us hours of travel time, and knew exactly when to visit crowded areas like Senso-ji Temple and Shibuya Crossing to avoid the massive tour bus rushes. Gulay also went above and beyond by taking beautiful photos of our family throughout the day and recommending incredible, authentic lunch spots within our budget. If you want a deeply knowledgeable, warm, and professional guide who feels like an old friend showing you around his hometown, book Gulay immediately."
"Our tour with Kennedy was wonderful. She customized our tour to fit our personal preferences and was very kind. She was very knowledgeable about Japanese history and culture. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu Kennedy. "
"I wanted to see some of the more local parts of Tokyo that I wouldn’t have a chance to see if on my own. Kennedy more delivered on this, taking me to a temple in the Iidabashi part of town, meandering through a street fair, and ending with a candle lighting in Kitanomaru Park for the last evening of a summer festival. This is Kennedy’s home town and anyone who takes a tour with her gets to benefit from that wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend! "
"We had a wonderful time in Tokyo with Kennedy. She was very friendly and entertaining, and gave us great tips on snacks to try along the way. The time flew by — we'd absolutely do it again. Highly recommended!"
"It was an awesome experience....show de bola! Julisiana was sweet and knowledgeable. She showed us around the trendy neighborhoods and even some hidden gems. "
"We recently enjoyed a food tour with Sena. We found her very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend you contact her for a great experience "
"Dear Gerald, thank you for all your help and good advice. Your flexibility when we arrived later in Tokyo and making our frist time visit to Tokyo a pleasant one. Greetings, Angelique and family. "
"We spent a lovely few hours with Abu in Tokyo! He was so nice, kind and patient. Especially our 7-years old daughter, who doesn’t even speak English, loved him! He was able to answer all our questions and more and gave us thus a bigger picture of the Japan’s culture and history. @Abu: thank you for these great memories!!"
