Great private tour! - Fun tour, great guide. We walked and talked as he showed us all the special areas. Lots of shopping and food available. Very interesting and more fun being private.

A must do tour! - Hina was lovely and showed us the Tokio suburbs with it's lovely shops, restaurants and shrines. We really got a feeling of the "normal life" near the busy Tokyo city center. Hina was super nice and fun and told us a lot of interesting facts - in perfect English. Thank you for this lovely afternoon!

Yanaka Shopping and Food Tour with Puppet Show - Kiyoshi was a wonderful guide - very engaged and knowledgeable. The Yanaka shops were delightful and we enjoyed the various food bites and the plum sake with soda! The puppet show was surprisingly entertaining and funny. After days of tours, the family was too tired to make the temple at the end but Kiyoshi was very gracious about us ending early. More cultural than food tour. The textile street outside the Nippori station was something we would never have found on our own if not for arriving early for the tour and exploring a bit.

Great foods, great experience and, great tour guide - I highly recommend any visitors to take this tour. I had such great time with Rieko San and she was so helpful. She was willing to go out of the way to make us feel comfortable and made sure we enjoyed our time. We walked through parts of the Taito City area (areas around Yanaka Ginza). The food she recommended were all tasty and are must tries! Ordering went super smooth as she helped us with understanding the menu and gave insights to it. I'm not a huge picture taker but the sights was great and it was great to learn more about the area we visited. As a first time visitor, this experience is a positive memory for me to remember. Rieko San is the best!!!

Best food experience - We had a really enjoyable time with Rieko! She was very knowledgeable in the history of places and customized the experience based on our interests. She was very attentive to our needs. Best tour guide and food experience! Highly recommend it as we wouldn't have explored or tried the place we went to without her.

Exceptional Private Tour! - This was the first tour l ever tried with Viator and it was amazing! We wanted a Cantonese guide and the company was able to arrange a very professional and friendly Cantonese speaking tour guide for us. The experience was so much fun! We has great food, learned so much about the local culture and visited areas we would never have known to visit by ourselves. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Fun day tour around Sendagi - My friends and I signed up for a day tour around the Sendagi neighborhood. Our tour guide Miyuki-san kicked off our tour at Yanaka Ginza and introduced us to the popular shops in the area. After eating our way through Yanaka, Miyuki-san took us to Nezu Shrine, where we happened to spot CNN’s Richard Quest, and got to take a picture with him. The tour ended with a delicious simple onigiri set. Overall, we were very satisfied with the tour and our tour guide, Miyuki-san was really sweet and helpful.

Pleasant and relaxing eating and sightseeing - Overall we had a really pleasant experience yesterday. The weather was amazing, guide was very friendly. We enjoyed our strolling down the streets and eating, shopping along the way experience very much. Miyuki took us to many local small shops, and that Minchikatsu place was awesome. The guide knew where to take the best photos and it was nice to have someone to be our photographer. In the area, there are lots of very cozy and retro cafes and small shops, but it was a pity that many of them were closed becuz it was a Monday. Luckily our guide Miyuki had some backup plans, so we still got to have some alternative locations to go.
