Lovely visit to Tokyo - Recently, we went to Tokyo and had a private tour with our friends with Hiroko as our guide, We found her very helpful and knowledgeable about the city and cultural practices. We were able to see a lot of places in Tokyo in our two days that we spent with her. I would recommend doing this if you’re going with a group. A private car setting gives some flexibility of where we want to spend more time and gave our group more time to spend in exploring the sites rather than being on the subways.

Great tour, highly recommended! - It was an amazing experience, both the guide (Kumiko) and driver (Tak) were knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. They were able to help us customize a tour which met our needs perfectly based on time and interests including suggestions of places we weren't aware of. The driver was also able to drive by and suggest several photo worthy places even though we were not stopping at those sites, such as the Tokyo Tower, the Parliament bldg etc.... so those were an extra bonus. Both were very knowledgeable, and Kumiko walked through the sites/activities with us to give us additional historical and cultural information. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend both!

Yoshimi was the perfect guide for our tour of Tokyo. She is knowledgeable about the locations visited. - Our 6 hour private car tour was excellent. Having the driver pick us up at each location after visiting was so convenient particularly since it was fairly hot in Tokyo. Yoshimi is an excellent guide. She picked interesting locations to visit.

Best local tour of Tokyo - We had an incredible day tour of Tokyo with Yoshimi and Toshi-he’s the best driver in Tokyo!
Great way to hit all the highlights of Tokyo then decide later which areas you would like to explore in more depth.
Yoshimi gives you a great overview and history of Tokyo area which really helps you to understand the history and culture of Tokyo.
I would highly recommend this tour and Yoshimi and Toshi! They are ichiban!
