"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. "
"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!!"
"We had a fantastic street food experience at Tsukiji Market thanks to our guide, Sheilina. She navigated the overwhelming number of stalls with ease, selecting a thoughtful mix of delicious and representative bites that we might never have found on our own. Each stop came with meaningful context—insightful history, cultural nuances, and fun stories that brought the market to life.
Her warmth, knowledge, and clear passion for Japanese food made the tour both memorable and incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend a tour with Sheilina!"

The Tokyo Tour You Actually Want
"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."
"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! "
"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 🤗❤️"
"Thank you to Gerald for providing a great kick start tour of this city.
We would highly recommend this tour and Gerald who was so accommodating to us starting the tour time later due to our delayed flight.
It was the perfect way of getting to know parts of this city.
Gerald is a very friendly and fun guy to spend time with!"
"Alessandra gave us the perfect guidance a busy Sunday morning. Giving us a truly warm, personal and insight to the Tokyo way of living. We also had the opportunity to visit the Mejii temple, its history and background introduced and explained by Alessandra, we will be carrying with us this experience throughout our tour in Japan."
