Tours I've been interested in - Most of them are foreigners visiting Japan, but they also said they would do Japanese, so I joined Guide mairi❣️san…I was fascinated by the unique impressions of the historical sites that I showed you. I also want to join Akihabara and Shinjuku if I can 🥳

Tokyo Highlight for Everyone - Highly recommended. One of my favorite activities in Tokyo when I visited Japan last summer. Miley's tour is truly unique and offers an entertaining and informative introduction to different parts of Tokyo. The pace of the adventure is well-planned so there's always something new to see and do - from trying delicious food at small restaurants that most visitors probably wouldn't find on their own to singing English and Japanese songs at karaoke to simply strolling by the river when so much of Tokyo is beautifully illuminated at night. The secret ingredient of the experience is Miley's amazing personality, which ensures that every participant has a great time. I enjoyed the Asakusa tour so much that I took it a second time when I returned to Tokyo at the end of my trip. On a future visit to Tokyo, I'd love to try the Akihabara and Ueno tours as well. 行ってみたい

Smiley time! - I learned some new historical facts during our Ueno/Asakusa tour, despite visiting such places many times before. The karaoke time was fun and dinner was great too. It is a nice intimate tour for small groups. Next time I'll try her other tour offerings.

Best way to see Asakusa. Don’t miss this ! - Fantastic experience with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Best way to see Asakusa; we saw main attractions plus lots of local gems and a fantastic sushi restaurant. Lots of history sprinkled with humour and fun. Mairie is an amazing English guide and unforgettable personality. Highly recommended.

Best Tour in Tokyo. - The best tour in Tokyo with the best guide in Tokyo. You get to experience many main parts of Japanese life such as Karaoke and authentic Japanese cuisine, some of which regular tourists might not know about! You also learn about the rich history of Asakusa whilst visiting places that a lot of tourists probably miss. You experience all this whilst be guided by an energetic and always happy guide who cares and is a joy to be around. A must visit tour for anyone visiting Tokyo.

The Miley experience in Asakusa! - I decided to join Miley's tour during my visit in Japan and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Miley has a magnetic energy which makes her the perfect guide. Engaging, cheerful and knowledgeable. Check her YouTube channel to learn more about her. I had already visited Asakusa and the Sensoji temple alone during my first time in Japan, but Miley manage to share information about the site that were new and interesting to me. We spent about the first two hours of the tour roaming around the area, taking photos and learning about its history. We then went to karaoke for an hour, where Miley showcased her idol background while also cheering on the participants during their performances. Wrapping up the official part of the tour was a quick pitstop at a nearby restaurant. We got to try to roll an omelette (good luck!) and share some food (fried chicken, steak, etc). If you are lucky enough, Miley might be working at her ninja bar afterwards. If it is the case, I encourage you to go. You can then wrap up your day sharing drinks with the other participants of the tour, regulars and past participants of the tour who come back for another evening at this great little spot in the Asakusa yokocho. I must also command Miley for the way she handles the participants before and after the tour. She is very efficient and clear in her way to communicate with the participants and you will quickly feel like you are exchanging emails with an old friend.
