MUST DO TOUR FOR YOUR FIRST TIME - Malissa was our guide and showed us everything we had to see in Tokyo and Shinjuku, especially hidden gems that helped us experience authentic Japanese local experiences! She even gave us recommendations for our personal dinners. It was such a valuable experience as it was our first time in Japan and it helped us navigate through the neighborhoods of Shinjuku!
This tour is a must do for your first time in Tokyo and learning all the things to do in Japan from a local!

Kamakura/Enoshima Adventure - BOOK WITH FIRAS!!!! - Originally this was suppose to be a Tokyo tour but me and my fiancé were already staying in Tokyo for a week when this tour was previously booked before leaving on our trip. We had already seen majority of what the tour offered. But luckily- Firas, our fantastic tour guide, had reached out and asked us questions on what we liked and what we have done and he was super flexible and had gave us a fun and exciting alternative! He offered us to give us a full day tour to Kamakura and Enoshima which are small countryside cities outside of Tokyo. We did not regret it one bit, he truly made this tour feel more personal and heartfelt! This was not just a tour but a once in a lifetime adventure/journey with Firas!! We are so lucky we got to have Firas as our guide. Extremely knowledgable- knew where he was going, answered any questions or informed us cool historical facts. Kamakura was rich with traditional culture, we got to experience Komachi St. shopping (please try Sugoi Honey especially the yuzu + honey, the cheese and meat deep fried coquettes, Giraffa curry and cheese bread, and the most delicious and yummy Japanese beef sushi which was wagyu beef sushi and included some packages included kamakura’s special baby sardines) & the price was unbeatable for the sushi we got! It would have costed us a fortune at Tsukiji fish market. We also got to experience Hamimangu Shrine and even got to attend a matcha tea ceremony for free (a special ceremony happened earlier that day at the shrine so we lucked out!) The train was so cute and for all my anime lovers out there, it was even featured in the anime “Slam Dunk.” We had the Great Buddha statue nearby, less than 5 minutes in the cute train. Me and my fiancé were at a loss for words when we saw the Great Buddha statue. It was definitely a sight to be seen. If we thought Kamakura was anything special, Enoshima is hard to describe with just words. You must experience Enoshima in person. Enoshima was a beautiful island along the Shonan coast of Kanagawa where you could see the ocean. It offered the famous Enoshima’s Iwaya caves that was a must-see and do while in Enoshima. On the island, there is the Enoshima Sea Candle which is an observation deck tower that gives you a whole view of the island and the water. And the shrines were absolutely breathtaking, Firas was so nice to know that we were newly engaged- and so he brought us to Enoshima shrine’s “Dragon Love Bell.” A romantic hilltop bell that couples can ring following an ancient Dragon legend lore of everlasting love and had padlock walls filled with love messages. We will never forget this life adventure but we also will never forget Firas. We truly were so lucky to have such a passionate and kind human being to be our guide. You can tell his love for Japan is strong, and its his mission to try to make you experience and fall in love with Japan as well. He went back to find our lost umbrella that we had forgotten at the love bell and he even picked up inconsiderate strangers’ trash to help keep Japan clean. We left this tour not only with tremendous memories but we also got to make a new, trustworthy and great friend. Thank you so much for everything Firas!!! Please book with him, you will be in for a terrific adventure like us!

One - day tour, more like having friend in Japan - The most memorable experience we had in Japan is joining the one-day tour and meeting our tour guide Firas. His super friendly, knowledgeable of the history and cities/culture of Japan. Unlike other tours I've join, Firas made our tour experience fun and is very attentive to ensure we are taken care of and comfortable.

Tokyo, the never ending surprise! - The second time in Japan, we wanted to make the most out of the short time we were going to spend in Tokyo, and we decided to resort to a professional team, who could drive me and my partner through the intricate map of this wonderful city, satisfying our architectural interests, but leaving aside the most iconic sights, which we had already visited during our previous time there.
So we set forth towards the buildings that made Tokyo such a special place to visit for us: the Western Art Museum by Le Corbusier, The Tokyo Art Museum by Tadao Ando, The Hokusai Museum by Kazuyo Sejima, the stunning Nezu Museum and the most important buildings along Omotesando, homes of luxury brands but often masterpieces of architecture in themselves.
What else to say? Leon was very nice and great as a guide, scheduling a customized tour that made the most out of our given time, and leading us around Tokyo all day long, letting us carefreely appreciate even more the beauties of this city.
The crystal blue sky on that clear November day added the perfect touch, but I suppose that Leon did not have a hand in that… or did he?

Full day with Leon - Our Tokyo tour with Leon was absolutely fantastic! His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions. Hope to come back to Tokyo and to meet him again :)

Worth it! - I loved the experience. Asakusa is mostly snubbed by more popular destinations such as Shibuya and Harajuku. However, this area is so much more than its temple. Sure, it is impressive - albeit crowded at times - but it retains charm. Especially at cherry blossom season. The area around the temple is where you will see the most authentic daily life. Something that without a tour would be difficult to get.
