Gentle Introduction to Tokyo - Taisei provided the perfect introduction to Tokyo. Fluent in English Taisei gently walked us through buying subway tickets and how to make transfers. He had some destination suggestions and was able to accommodate our interests quite handily. He offered cultural insights in an easygoing style and adapted to our touring speed. We’re only sorry we hadn’t booked a longer tour.

Back in Tokyo - I did the Tokyo Footsteps tour about a year ago, and loved it! This time, I was in Tokyo on a business trip and asked them to show us some new spots. Our guide Himena was awesome. She took us to Gotokuji (the lucky cat temple), the shrine with the sumo ring, and around Shinjuku and Shibuuya. She shared so many cool facts about each place. She also gave us super helpful tips for our Hakone day trip. We followed her advice exactly, and it saved us so much time! Only thing is, I wish we’d caught the sakura season! We came a bit too early. But that's OK, I’ll be back for sure!

Tokyo Adventure with Himena - Himena was an amazing bilingual guide, and our kids had a blast with her! She showed us so many interesting things and gave us great insights into Japanese life. We explored Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku, and she covered every detail about each place. We also went to a kaitenzushi restaurant together—it was super fun and way more affordable than sushi in the US! The whole experience felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with a friend in Tokyo. Huge thanks, Himena! 😊

A Lovely and Thoughtful Guide - I cannot express how happy we were to spend our afternoon with Taisei Sano. We were jetlagged and tired. Taisei had already come up with some interesting spots and was a lovely and thoughtful guide. I should add that he speaks with native-level English. We never felt rushed and he was conscious of our energy levels. My wife and I were taken to some fascinating and unique spots, carefully shepherded through the necessary metro and train stations to arrive at our destinations. It could not have been easier. Did I mention that it was raining hard most of the afternoon? And he took some lovely photos of us that he sent along later. You will not be disappointed by Tokyo Footsteps and Taisei.

Unbeatable great experience! - Fantastic first day in Tokyo, thanks to the good fortune of finding Taisei of Tokyo Footsteps! As soon as I booked, he introduced himself through WhatsApp and asked about what we wanted to see and do… He met us at our hotel, a warm, polite young man who inspired our confidence, and helped us navigate the subway system- he understood our pace jet lagged and not quite in our prime - and guided us to two areas off the beaten track as well as a stop for a bite, ending our tour at our evening destination. We didn’t ask for photos but the next day he sent us some great memories he’d snapped. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour operator!

Authentic Tokyo Experience with a Friendly Guide! - We had an amazing tour in Tokyo! Our guide was fluent in English and took us to less touristy places, which gave us a unique and authentic experience. The guide was very friendly and had planned the itinerary in advance, making our travels much smoother. We felt safe throughout the tour, and the four hours flew by. We will definitely contact them again when we come back! Highly recommended!
