Experience City Tours in Tokyo with Withlocals

"Marc was excellent. While the fish market was pretty touristy, Marc bought us great food from back alleys. He then took us to some awesome places in the area, and as is often the case, it’s the surprises that are the best. He went overtime and even gave us a bag of local snacks for the journey I would recommend any time"

"Abu provided a highly personalized, knowledgeable, and friendly experience for our family and friends. Abu's expertise in local culture, history, and food really made for an outstanding evening. More importantly, his flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to our specific interests made all the difference to create an ideal outing and maximizing our little time in Tokyo. Good English. Very recommended experience!"

"Sheilana was puntual, easy going and gave us an awesome mixture of the main sights, mixed with places we would never have discovered on our own. Tasty snacks, quirky tales. We would highly recommend her any time."

"We were so pleased with our tour. Gulay so knowledgeable about everything Japanese, culture, sites, shopping, you name it she knew it. Very friendly personality too, very helpful. She taught us how to manage the subway and other information making our trip in Tokyo much easier. Highly recommend it would definitely use her again."

"We book a lot of Withlocals tours and we all think Gerald was one of the best. From describing how Sensoji was rebuilt after the utter destruction of the war to explaining some of the nuances of Japanese culture, Gerald had a unique way of connecting the dots for both the adults and teenagers. We all walked away with more than just surface understanding of the culture and are grateful. Plus he fed us some of the best street food we’ve had in Tokyo… not a tourist in sight. "

"I am almost cool now. Sena took our family around some of the most crowded, colourful and high energy streets. While my teenagers recognized much of it Sena was so great at explaining everything to me, while engaging with our teens directly. Had we gone on our own we would have missed a lot of the special parts that aren’t so obvious to westerners. "

"Our time in Tokyo was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide-Gerald. From the moment we met him he was warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city with us. Gerald took us far beyond the typical tourist experience—guiding us through the Shibuya district and beyond. We visited a beautiful neighborhood shrine, a peaceful cemetery, and charming local neighborhoods we never would have discovered on our own. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights about Japanese culture, history, and daily life that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Tokyo. What truly stood out was his kindness and enthusiasm. Every stop felt thoughtful and personal, and he created such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that the day felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than being on a tour. If you're visiting Tokyo and want an experience that is authentic, insightful, and genuinely enjoyable, We cannot recommend Gerald enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip. "

"We had such a nice time with Sheilina! She helped create a custom tour based on our experience, even helping us to locate special snacks and diapers for our baby! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, accommodating tour guide! "

"Kennedy was amazing. She had done her homework on us from the message I had sent explaining how we would like to spend the time with her. We booked Kennedy for our second day of our three week stay in Japan and asked her all about train tickets, experiences and ideas that she thought would be of interest specificly to us. The time went quickly but we learnt so much about the Japanse culture and modern thinking. Also she helped us book for the theatre which we wouldn't have known about unless she had told us. Also, she continued to give us ideas after our visit. Over all, I can highly recommend Kennedy if you would like to experience this amount of detail in your time."

"Our day with Marc was super. He knows Tokyo so well, and it was super fun to follow him around a city he adores and knows so much about. He found all the off the beaten spots for us to learn and about, and it all sort of turned out to be a fun food tour as well. We loved starting our trip off with him! Thank you Marc!"
