Saturday in Tokyo on tour - Amir is passionate and enthusiastic about the places to see on the tour. He goes out of his way to make it personalized, interesting and fun. The tour was worth the trip and I wish we had more time to have Amir show us around other parts of the city.

Great day out in Tokyo! - This was great experience. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and planned ahead to help my disabled wife. He was able to adjust to her speed and took us the best ways. A highly recommended tour.

Wonderful Tokyo Tour! - This tour showed us some popular sites, with our tour guide, Noah, filling us in on the histories and nuances of each place. We saw the Harajuku area, the Meiji jingu shrine, Takeshita street, and the Tsukiji fish market, which we especially loved. We walked a lot, and also hopped on the local metro to get around, with Noah's guidance. Noah is a very informed, smart guide, he clearly understands the history of Tokyo and is well educated and insightful. He's also funny, warm, engaging, and enjoys what he's doing. He does a great job communicating and skillfully steered us to excellent food to try at the Nishiki fish market. He's built relationships with local vendors who seem to trust and like him very much. Would highly recommend Noah as a guide!

Outstanding Custom Tokyo Tour Guide - Highly Recommended! - Taka was an amazing guide for our 4-hour custom Tokyo tour! He communicated with us in advance, listened to exactly what we wanted to see and created a perfect personalized itinerary. His energy was infectious and his knowledge of Tokyo’s history, customs, neighbourhoods and hidden gems made every stop fascinating. He navigated the city expertly, maximizing our time without feeling rushed. It felt like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a formal tour.
