Highly recommend this! - Nobu was flexible with where we wanted to go, very knowledgeable, and spoke good English. He made recommendations that we appreciated and taught us how to use the subway system throughout the day.

Having not been to Japan... - Having not been to Japan before, we signed up for this tour in hopes of seeing some Tokyo highlights and to get familiar with the public transportation system. While we accomplished those goals, our guide Nabu Sato was amazing and painted a picture of Tokyo and Japan that took our breath away. His command of Japanese history, sociology and economics combined with his willingness to offer his opinions gave us insights into Japan and its people that we would never have gotten on other “bus type” tours. We are walkers/hikers so the miles we walked were not problematic for us, but I am sure Mr. Sato tailors each trip for his client’s interest and abilities. Over the next two days we have traveled all over Tokyo with Suica card in hand, confident and ready to move on to Kyoto!

Great tour. - This was a fabulous tour. We saw so much of Tokyo and I learned a lot about the history of the city. But be prepared to walk - I logged 26,000 steps and took countless subway rides. The guide was wonderful. We found a fabulous place for lunch too.

Tokyo with Aiko - We had a fantastic day with Aiko. Not only did we learn to navigate the Tokyo train system we got to spend time at a number of interesting spots. Aiko also familiarised us with Tokyo which meant the following week we were comfortable using public transport to those locations which is an excellent way to get around. I would recommend any visitors to Tokyo do this tour early in your stay as it’s the perfect introduction to the City and surrounds. My daughter and I really enjoyed the day with Aiko as the tour felt very personalised and stress free.

Excellent experience! - Excellent experience with Nobu as our guide. He was prompt, responsive, and happy to accommodate custom requests for our tour- we gave a list of general interests and he was able to customize a day that worked in just what we were looking for. We booked a tour with him for our first full day in Tokyo and it was very helpful for us to "get our bearings" and navigate the city. Our guide was fun to talk to and we genuinely enjoyed spending time with him.

Visit Tokyo stress free - I am very happy I went on this tour. I saw a lot in 8 hours and did not have to worry about how to get from one place to the other which was great! Nobu, my guide, was very nice, knowledgeable and his English was excellent. You can customise your tour, I did not as it was my first time in the city and I enjoyed all the places we went to. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful Custom Tokyo Tour - I loved this tour! I have been to Tokyo maybe 15 times so I wanted something different. Nobu-san customised the tour to exactly what I wanted- a walk in Todoroki Valley, lunch with my friends at Aoyama Flower Cafe Omotesando, Catch the late blooming cherry blossoms at Hama Rikyu Garden, find Jose Rizal’s sculpture in Hibiya Park, and a Cremia ice cream also at Hibiya Park! Saved me the headache and stress of getting lost while accomplishing my wish list for this trip. Thank you Nobu-san for a wonderful tour! And for taking my souvenir photos. Nobu-san said picture taking “is the most important thing!” 😂👍🏼I highly recommend this tour to anyone or any group who wants their own personalized Tokyo experience.
