Best way to see Tokyo with a knowledgeable tour guide. - The most memorable was the ease and flexibility of Amigo (tour guide). He guided us to places that were interested and explained its significance.

Great tour with Yoko! - My friend and I had a great tour with Yoko. She was very personable and knowledgeable. We learned how to navigate the subway and train system with her help and visited Meiji Jingu Shrine, the fish market, and Ginza during our half-day tour. Thank you Yoko for a great tour!

Cultural and historical journey in asakusa - The guild was really friendly and she knew a lot about the asakusa culture and garment. I have been living in japan for 4.5 years. But still, I learned something I didn't know before, and i learned some new locations to explore during this trip. Today's rickshaw was smooth and pretty interesting experience for me and my girlfriend. At the beginning, I thought 2 people might be too heavy for the guy to tow the cart. But he towed it like it was nothing. During the ride, you can also learn the histories behind those buildings.

Perfect day with history and food. - We had an awesome private tour with Romy, our fantastic guide. She was super nice, really knowledgeable, and flexible, making sure we had the best experience. We learned so much about history, culture, and the sushi restaurant she took us to was just incredible. It was the best sushi I have ever had! We highly recommend her and her team if you are planing to visit Japan.

An enjoyable Asakusa tour and rickshaw experience - I had a wonderful guided tour of Asakusa with Kei-san, a sweet and knowledgeable guide. We started with a rooftop view of Asakusa area from the Tourist Information Center building followed by a 20-minute rickshaw ride, where the driver spoke English, making the experience even more enjoyable. Kei-san then took us on a walk through Asakusa, sharing the fascinating history of Tokyo and the area. Despite the hot summer day, her enthusiasm kept the tour engaging. We walked through various streets with different specialities; shopping, restaurants, amusement park, and theatres. We ended the tour near a confectionary where we got to sample some of the traditional sweets. The mix of the rickshaw ride and Kei-san’s insightful commentary made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Tokyo!

Guide imbued us with knowledge and respect for Japanese religion & culture, - We wouid not have gotten or seen these sites by ourselves with only two days in Tokyo. Our guide Naoko was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the places we went. She imbued us with both knowledge and respect for the religious and cultural beliefs of the Japanese. She also went out of her way to see that we got the most out of the tour. We highly recommend this tour and the guide,
