Field trip with Kiyo-san - The tour with Kiyo-san was great. At the beginning we had some difficulty with our reservation, but his tour company was able to work it out.
Kiyo-san described the history of the different places and landmarks we explored throughout the tour. We tried ningyoyaki cakes, rice crackers and drank sake. We visited multiple generation shops with hundreds of years of history. We thoroughly enjoyed learning from Kito-san. If you want a laid back but informative tour, this is the one for you.

A Great Way to Experience Japan’s Culture & History - My friends and I toured Tokyo with Kiyo, and we had an amazing time that I’ll never forget. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience Japan’s culture and history through food, architecture and shopping. I found some amazing gifts to bring back for my family.

Touring the heart of tokyo - Kaori was amazing! Very polite and sweet 5/5 I would definitely recommend her as a guide to anyone, she was very informative and knowledgeable about everything on the tour and even some stuff not on the tour. We had an amazing time with her as we toured tokyo, it was our honeymoon and she presented us with a small heartfelt gift and congratulated us on our marriage. Our booking was well worth it and at a fair price also
