City Unscripted is the way to tour any city - We have used City Unscripted twice now - once in Hong Kong and then in Tokyo. In Tokyo we hadn't pre-booked a tour, and I only tried to organise something the evening before. City Unscripted went above and beyond to try and organise one of their tour guides, even though it was quite late in the evening already. The next morning Mari met us, and after discussing what our preferences were, she took us on a bespoke tour of Tokyo. She included "experiences" a wll, such as saki-tasting, and sampling street food. We had delicious Wagu beef strips barbecued for us a we watched, and then ate. I strongly recommend City Unscripted as their tours are reasonably priced and tailored to ones needs and interest. P.S. In Hong Kong our guide was Malin, and she was also excellent, and even changed the tour on the spur of the moment as we were getting tired of walking, and so she made a Plan B.

Short tour of Shibuya - We only had a short time in Shibuya and wanted to get a feel for that part of the City, the culture and history. Our guide was Nobu, who was simply excellent. He made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met him. He listened to what we wanted to get from the experience and was friendly and warm. On top of that his English was excellent and given we don't speak any Japanese, that was perfect!

Well worth it - We covered so many sights and destinations on the day. The tour was extremely well planned and organised by the fantastic and knowledge guide Shuto. He knew all the interesting places to visit and the appropriate times. There were very good recommendations for food and brilliant advice given for the rest of my stay in Tokyo. An excellent experience overall and highly recommend.

Getting to know the real Tokyo - Toshi was just such a wonderful guide. It felt as though we were out with a friend rather than a tour guide. He was both so personable and knowledgeable , able to showcase my family’s varied interests around Tokyo. It was such a pleasure to meet him and spend a few hours with him. I was with my 2 teenage sons, who found it even better than I did. Toshi not only showed us parts of Tokyo, but by sharing stories about his life with us, gave us an insight into the Tokyo culture and lifestyle first hand. An absolutely memorable experience, and one I would highly recommend.

Tokyo city tour - Tokyo Skytree tour offered breathtaking views of the city, taking in the massive metropolis that is Tokyo, combining stunning views and modern architecture. We ended the tour in a local neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku, Shibuya, I bought meaning full souvenirs, commemorating this meaningful day. Overall, the personal tour offered an intimate look at Tokyo, blending must-see attractions with hidden gems. Noah’s knowledge and passion for the city truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend this type of tour for anyone looking to explore Tokyo beyond the usual tourist spots.

Amazing Firas! - First time visitors to Japan, we arrived in Tokyo at 630am after a less than comfortable 10hr overnight flight. Getting through the day until check-in at 3pm with two teenagers was a daunting prospect. Fortunately we made the excellent decision to arrange for a private tour to make things easier, and we could not have been luckier than having Firas as our tour guide. He was amazing - so knowledgable, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about all things Japanese. I don't know where he finds his energy but it was contagious and before we knew it we had covered what seemed like most of Tokyo, it was 5pm and we had to decline his offer to extend the tour several more hours beyond what we had paid for (without extra cost) as we we needed to get some rest! Firas is kind, smart, polite and respectful and was great with our kids - he very thoughtfully gave them stamp books to collect EKI stamps which our kids loved. As first-timers he taught us how to negotiate the transport system and how to engage with Japanese people in a respectful and culturally sensitive way. He continued to maintain contact for days after our trip, providing helpful advice on places that we were staying at. He really did go above and beyond...a great guide and wonderful man.
