          Fantastic guide Izumi!
          We did this tour with two adults and two children aged 9 and 7. We visited Asakusa, the Tsukiji Fish Market and Ginza. Izumi was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who shared many interesting facts. The kids were particularly engaged with the fortune sheets at Senso-Ji shrine, including the animated way in which one obtains their fortune. The children also loved ‘Buddha’s Breath’, the incense stand, and the main hall of the temple itself. Shopping for half an hour in Asakusa and trying street food was also a real highlight for us and for the children. The fish market was exciting and vibrant with many places to eat; Izumi helped us find a proper sit down restaurant of high quality (many places in the market are “stand up only”, but our kids needed to sit down). Izumi also provided me with a metro map and explained about the two different ownerships of the different lines - invaluable information (for this reason I recommend doing his tour on day #1 in Tokyo if you can). The whole day was about 2km of walking, give or take, so not too much for littler legs, but we would have struggled to do this tour with a pram (many steps in the metro; having said that, I’m sure Izumi would have a pram strategy!). I hope this information helps you.

          A great way to see Asakusa area
          Such a great introduction to the city for us. Our guide, Tatsunobu (Ted), took us through the Asakusa area seeing the temples at Senso Ji. Having Ted explain the cultural and religious backgrounds to the Buddhist and Shinto temples made the experience all the more fascinating. We also went through Yanaka and saw the temples at Nezu and stopped for tea at a lovely local shop. I would definitely recommend this tour.

          Thank you to Koji for an amazing day!
          Koji was so reliable on prompt. He greeted us with a smile and was extremely polite the whole day. Koji catered to every request we had and was so patient with us all day. Koji was very informative and had even prepared printouts for historical information. We had an amazing day because Koji took great care of us. Thank you.

          Walking tour of Tokyo with Naomi
          We booked this 4 hour tour after an overnight flight from Australia. It was a perfect introduction to Tokyo. Naomi was great in helping us to navigate the Tokyo train system and interesting aspects Japanese culture. Naomi was very helpful in answering our questions. After the tour we were confident to spend the next few days using the train system to explore many of the different areas of Tokyo. I would recommend Naomi to any one visiting Tokyo.

          Excellent 6 hour walking tour of Tokyo
          We had the pleasure of having Lily as our guide on a recent visit to Tokyo. Lily was punctual, waiting for us in our hotel lobby before the set departure time, where she gave us a brief explanation of the day's itinerary. During the tour Lily was very informative with excellent knowledge about the sites we visited and their cultural significance. She also directed us to good lunch and refreshment stops along the way. Her English is excellent, she is personable and was happy to share insights about what life is like living in Tokyo. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lily to anyone wanting to do a walking tour of Tokyo.

          Wonderful family experience
          We are so pleased we booked a guide for our first day as a family in Tokyo. Kyoko was absolutely delightful and we had a brilliant day. She was punctual, clear and helpful in her emails leading up to the tour and so patient on the day. We have 3 boys under 11yrs and Kyoko knew how to make little choices that made our day even better. She gave us great insights and took us places we would not have otherwise known about. Great service and wonderful day.

          Fun and informative day
          Hiro-San was a wonderful guide! He was very flexible and revised our plans many times to accommodate the bad weather and ensure we had a great experience. He helped us plan our departure the next day. He was very fun and shared great information.

          Minoru is an excellent guide!!!
          We loved the customized itinerary and support we got from Minoru and the tour. We got to see the big areas we wanted, try local cuisine, feel different vibes in different parts of Tokyo and he got us back to our hotel safely on our first full day in Japan. It felt like he knew is and what we wanted by the time the tour started, and we had a great time. Thanks again, Minoru-san!!

          Perfect Start to First Time Tokyo Trip
          We had the most incredible guided tour of Tokyo with Izumi. After arriving in Tokyo for the first time, our trip around the city with Izumi was an essential way to start the trip. He was knowledgable, personable, and provided so many interesting and fun insights we never would have gotten from a guide book. Can't recommend him and this tour more highly!

          Money well spent
          Keio was a good guide. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job of speaking all day in English. He took us to many locations and helped us use the transport system in Tokyo. This trip set us up well to then be able to navigate the city ourselves. Money we'll spent.

          Family fun in the rain.
          We were in Kanazawa on a very rainy day. Sho was a great guide. He planned a tour for us that met our needs and interests, and took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed our day very much.
