Best Tokyo Experience Ever! - What an absolute Joy it was to have Hanna as our tour guide for this trip! She is so friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable about all Tokyo has to offer. We had so much fun going to the shrine and the tower and seeing all the city has to offer!!! If you are looking for a guide who is extra sweet she is your girl. I will also say her recommendations were perfect for what we told hee we liked. I will highly suggest anyone who is looking for someone with great English and a beautiful disposition to book Hanna for their tour!

Totally customizable tour of Tokyo - Akihabara & Ueno for our family! - Kota-san was an amazing tour guide! My husband and two sons are big anime/manga/video game fans , so Kota customized our tour to their interests. We also wanted to do something off the beaten path food-wise. Our tour started with street food sampling in nearby Ueno - so interesting and yummy! Then it was back to Akihabara to visit Kota’s favorite shops and arcades. We ate lunch with him at a great ramen shop - delicious! He gave us so much local background on this area and made our trip so memorable. Thank so much, Kota-san!

Excellent Tour! - An amazing tour! Kota specifically curated our tour to see what specifically interested us and providing great insight we would have never been able to gain on our own. We were able to cover lots of ground in Tokyo and got an excellent introduction to the transit and food scene of Tokyo! Highly recommend!
