Jenny was a perfect tour... - Jenny was a perfect tour guide. She went out of her way to help us find a place we were lost at even before the tour happened and held a large piece of luggage for us the entire time. She planned a tour exactly to our specifications and my kids loved her!

Feel like a local ! - Amir is an excellent guide. He took us to some of his Hidden Gems and explained much about Japanese culture and customs. Not Japanese by birth, he clearly respects and admires the Japanese life-style and character. Traveling on foot and subway was better in many ways to feel like a local as we moved about the city. A very informative and gratifying experience.

Private customized walking tour. - Cristiano was our guide today. Not only was he a fantastic tour guide but also so very kind, considerate and extremely helpful to us. Today was our first day in Japan and he helped us understand and learn the train and subway system. We went to the Meiji Jingu shrine and areas nearby. Very knowledgeable but not overwhelming with details. We truly enjoyed our tour today.

Great private walking tour in Tokyo - Kenta was an amazing tour guide. He met us early at our hotel, helped us navigate Shinjuku station (which is not easy), then guided us to Meiji Shrine. We walked the grounds, explained the history and protocols, then helped us write our wish on an Ema, a small wooden plaque, and hang it at the shrine to be received by the kami. Later we went to Shibuya Crossing and experienced the public crossing. Was a great time and would do it again. He was very kind and patient with all our requests and questions about Japanese life and culture. Thanks Kenta.

Off to a great start with Karl! - Karl was an excellent guide on our 8-hour whirlwind tour of Tokyo. He was communicative prior to our trip, working with us to come up with the perfect itinerary, which included specific requests. He maximized our time by planning an efficient route across the city, making sure we saw the things on our list and much more. He met us at our hotel and started off right away with educating us on the history of the area before we hopped on the subway. It was so great to have someone guide us through our first (of many) subway rides. We used this knowledge as we furthered our travels throughout the country. We even went to a site he'd never been to and he got us there with ease. Karl used his experience as a photographer to make sure we got some great photos, which we truly appreciate. The photo he took of us remains our favorite from the whole trip. Karl also helped recommend an over-the-counter heat/cooling patch for my knees. I ended up buying more throughout our trip and they were a life saver on my sore feet! Karl navigated us to our spots at the right times to avoid large crowds and created an energetic atmosphere. He helped us find special spots for pictures and we even made a stop for paper, as I am a crafter. I wish I bought more!! This customized tour was totally worth the price. Cruise excursions came nowhere near the value of this tour and I'd highly recommend working with this group if you want a customized tour.

Private Walking Tour - Roccio was absolutely wonderful as our tour guide. She took us to so many great places and was so knowledgeable. She even went over the tour time to fit in everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend!!
