Fabulous tour with Tomo of both traditional and modern Tokyo! - Tomo was fabulous and her English was great! We already saw a lot in Tokyo before we met up with her, but she customized a tour for us ahead of time and showed us a part of Tokyo that is less well known. She took great care to make sure that we maximized our time to explore different places. We started out in Ueno and she brought us to Ueno market and explained what Japanese families do to prepare for new years which is the biggest holiday in Japan. We then walked through Ueno park and made our way to Tokugawa shrine. She explained to us the traditions of how to pray in the shrine and also we bought some good luck amulets and got our fortunes. After the park, Tomo made a special reservation at a green tea shop where they demonstrated how to whisk matcha properly and she also showed us the correct way to drink green tea! After walking through the Yanaka cemetery, she took us to Yanaka Ginza which was very quaint and one the highlights of the tour! Lots of small shops and places to eat (don’t forget to bring cash). Yanaka is an older part of Tokyo - very suburban traditional feel. Lastly, she took us to Akihabara which is known for its electronics, anime and video games. A perfect ending as our son wanted to play those claw games to win some Japanese toys! Overall a wonderful experience of both traditional and modern Tokyo. The 4 hours with Tomo flew by. Highly recommended!

The best tour and guide!! - This was a wonderful experience for my family. Hiroko was our fabulous tour guide. She is the seriously the best and I would highly recommend requesting her. She met my family in our hotel lobby, showed us how to use the train system, customized our day for us based on our requests. Instead of trying to navigate through Tokyo oursleves, she provided a fun day for all of us to just enjoy and take in all the joys of this fascinating city. She was so informative and explained things to us with a little humor so the kids really connected with her. By the end of the tour, we felt we had known her for years. Hiroko became part of the family! I would highly recommend this activity especially one of the first few days of your trip so you can get acclimated with city. Thank you Hiroko for the best day in Tokyo. We miss you and hope to see you again soon. Btw, she is also an excellent, knowledgeable shopping guide if you want to have that kind of experience too.

Amazed by the amount of fun we had. - Our guide Tarek was so knowledgeable friendly and fun. He did a great job getting us acclimated to the city. He taught us how to use the metro system, took us to all the anime sites and gave us the history of the city. It was an amazing experience.
