Great experience with Marek! - Marek was a wonderful tour guide that opened the door to Tokyo from a personal perspective. We hit major landmarks and also took a personal tour of corners of prefectures we would have never discovered on our own. We discovered amazing sushi, ramen, izakaya and yakitori spots, learned our way around the transit system, and learned about some of the important traditions at the temples and shrines as well. Thank you Marek!

A Personal, Unforgettable Tokyo Walking Tour! - What an incredible day exploring Tokyo with Apy! She's the kind of guide that makes you feel like you're exploring the city with a close friend rather than being on a tour. Our 4-hour adventure took us through some of Tokyo's most fascinating spots, including the magnificent Meiji Shrine, the trendy Takeshita Street in Harajuku, and the bustling Shibuya district with its famous crossing and incredible shopping. Apy’s knowledge was impressive, but what really made the tour special was her warm personality and how she shared interesting stories and cultural insights in such a natural, engaging way. If you're looking for a Tokyo walking tour that feels more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend, you can't go wrong with Apy as your guide!

A walk thru time - Tomomi was excellent. She communicated with us even from a few weeks before leaving, verified that we arrived, and kept us informed until we met. She really introduced a different side of Tokyo and its history. Loved the matcha tea house. She took pictures for us and got it to me asap. She was quite lovely . We will be back. I highly recommend her. Thank you Tomo!

A Slice of Tokyo.. like a local! - This tour is getting to know Tokyo neighborhoods, people, and local haunts with a few iconic places thrown in!! Perfection, thanks to our amazing guide, Alberto! He knew every in and out of Tokyo and took us along with him.. We walked almost 9 miles and took trains and ate a great meal. A must for people who want to stay off a bus and see a real slice of Tokyo!

Underwhelmed - While our guide was pleasant, it felt more like a 4 hour walk rather than a tour. After 3 completed surveys, we still had to give direction about what we wanted to see, and we didn’t know, we’ve not been to Tokyo before. This seemed more like a free walking tour than a private tour related to our interests, especially for the high price point of the tour.
