About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 130jeanr0 contributionsTokyo tour with exceptional guide!We have travelled extensively, but found Seden to be exceptional as a guide. She was knowledgeable, gave us glimpses of Tokyo life off the beaten path , flexible, fluent in Japanese, helpful in making further plans, kept in touch afterwards to make sure our other arrangements were going to work. She has a delightful sense of humour, was personable and kind. Can’t say enough good about her.Written November 15, 2024
- L7356CMjaneb0 contributionsTokyo Street Food Tour EbisuIt was a rainy evening in Ebisu but we still enjoyed a great food your with our guide Kazumi. She took us to some old traditional restaurants as well as tiny street food places. All of the food she ordered for us was delicious. Down tiny alleys and through mysterious doors finding olaces we would never have known about. Kazumi was a a lovely guide and we really enjoyed the evening. Jane and David.Written November 15, 2024

- Andrew A0 contributionsGreat experienceWe had a wonderful time walking around Shibuya with Carlos. It was a great introduction to a neighborhood we went back to on our own maybe times. Would have been tough to get the full understanding of it all on our own, at least in only 90 minutes. He was great to chat with. The time flew by. Highly recommend.Written October 20, 2024
- V7888YWheathers0 contributionsAmazing Time in AsakusaWe had an incredible time with Sheilina, our tour guide. It was our first day in Tokyo and she quickly acclimated us to the culture and history. We highly recommend Sheilina to anyone looking for a memorable tour of Tokyo and beyond. Thank you!Written October 10, 2024
- RiaHabib0 contributionsFabulous GuideThis was my first time in Tokyo with my kids. Carlos gave me a very good introduction to the area, some local traditions and some good tips and tricks! I was very intimidated with the train/ subway system so Carlos really helped me understand- also came on a short train ride with us to get me comfortable. I really got lucky that i found Carlos.Written October 8, 2024
- gracekJ8555WL0 contributionsSheilina was great.Sheilina was kind and informative. She was a great guide and understood that we love the not-so-touristy kinds of experiences. She also recommended a great place for lunch after the tour. We loved chatting with her and spending the morning together.Written October 2, 2024
- jonhawbaker0 contributionsGully is an Awesome Tour GuideGulay was awesome. She truly did give us a kick start for enjoying our time in Tokyo. She quickly and easily taught us how to navigate public transportation. The places she took us to were fantastic. Gulay was very pleasant and she shared much local history that truly made us feel we welcome and immersed in Japanese culture. Gully went beyond our expectations. She came to our holes to start the day. It was our first day in Tokyo.Written September 1, 2024
- marisolt8000 contributionsAmazing TourGulay was an awesome tour guide. She took us to a beautiful and fun neighborhood. We learned a lot of temples and shrines. It was exactly what we had hoped for! She also gave us amazing recommendations. Thank you Gulay for being amazing!Written August 25, 2024
- KevinCobb0 contributionsGreat intro to what Tokyo has to offerGulay provides information about the best of Tokyo in such a lovely way. She knows all the best spots so please do ask her.

- Stacyhascats0 contributionsShopping and walkingWe loved our tour with Gulay soo much! We wanted to shop in the vintage section of Japan and had so much fun. She also helped us navigate the trains and helped us find a wonderful ramen place.Written June 1, 2024
- bericjohnson0 contributionsGreat tour!Gulay was fantastic! She provided us many recommendations on things to do all over Japan, took us to at least one sight that our friends didn’t know about, and gave us the perfect cultural introduction to Buddhism and Shintoism and shopping in Asaksusa. Highly recommend!Written May 8, 2024
- Global7659300 contributionsEfficient 3 hour tour exceeded our expectationsSena, our guide, was amazing! She showed us the scramble, a few other highlights, and at our request, tailored the tour to take us on a very efficient shopping expedition to get exactly what we were looking for. She showed us a new restaurant, KURA, with sushi on a conveyer belt, which I have always wanted to do. She recommended other activities for us, such as a boat tour, and let us know exactly where to get some other specific souvenir items after our tour. She followed up with us several times to answer further questions. We loved our time in Shibuya and Harajiku with Sena!Written May 2, 2024
- annehA3792SG0 contributionsGreat Way to Start Our Trip!My teenage son and I spent our first afternoon in Tokyo with Gulay and we couldn't have been happier. She was lovely and personable and within minutes of being with her, she gave us a tip that made our whole trip so much easier. She answered our questions, shared interesting information and showed us newbie tricks to help navigate the city. She also gave us a recommendation for an area we wouldn't have found on our own (which has been our favorite so far!). Thank you, Gulay, for a wonderful and helpful start to our trip. I just wish we could have had more time with you!Written March 30, 2024
- Flyer083508522960 contributionsBook Ramky For Whatever You CanRamky, is hands down, the best tour guide we had in Tokyo and I truly can't say enough good things about him. We went on 3 semi-private tours while we were there and no one even came close to comparing. His intimate knowledge of the city, its history and stories, and off the beaten path locations is unmatched. If he had been available during the rest of our stay we would have booked him 3 days in a row. So next time we head that way he will absolutely be my first phone call.Written January 23, 2024

Sena was an excellent host.
The village was on a JR line and about 15 mins from Shinjuku where we stayed.
The meeting point for Sena was easy to find. The tour brought us to a variety of restaurants and food stands, sampling popular local savoury and sweet foods and drinks. The information will be useful for our full Japan trip.
Sena also explained a lot about how Japan works, it’s people and what it is like to live there.
She helped with some bookings we needed to make, making some calls for us and reviewing some websites.
She was very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us.
The trip was very enjoyable for my wife and I and our 2 kids (8 and 10).
Make sure you arrive hungry , there is a lot of eating!!

We had a long layover in Tokyo and decided to book a tour for a few hours with Sena. She is so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. Sena is a lovely guide who took us to see Meiji shrine and knew the spot to have a fantastic view of the Shibuya Crossings. Due to time constraint, we had to cut our tour short but Sena still tried to introduce us to many of the local delicacies and cared enough to help us get on the bus to go back to Haneda Airport in a timely manner. \nOverall, we had a lovely time touring Tokyo with Sena and would highly recommend this trip .

We met Sena in Kichijoji to experience a number of the food available in the area to the north of the station. Sena was very nice and easy to talk with. Her English is very good and she was able to engage with all members of our family. She had a well-organised tour with a variety of food but was also able to accomodate vegetarian options for one member of our family and was also able to make adjustments based on preferences. We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing the Kichijoji area. Thank you Sena.

We took a walking street food tour with Sena in October. She was waiting for us when we arrived at the designated meeting spot in the Kichijoji district of Tokyo. She took us to many local food stalls as well as to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Not only did Sena take us to the food stalls where she thought the food was the freshest and the best, but she helped us buy gift snacks at a Don Quijote convenience store, and even helped us navigate the Subway kiosk so we could purchase Suica cards. She’s the best and we would highly recommend her!

We had a great tour with Sena! She was very knowledgable and took us to some incredible places. We really enjoyed that the tour wasn't in the heart of the city as it gave us the opportunity to see a different side to Tokyo! Come hungry as we were so full by the end of the tour. Would highly recommend Sena!

Thank you Sena for taking us to Kichijoji, truly a hidden gem with good and tasty local food. We had an amazing time with Sena. She is very pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to a beautiful park after the tasting as we had some time left and managed to share travel experiences and also the Japanese culture. We really enjoyed the tour with Sena and there’s a lot to eat, so come prepared!
Highly recommend Sena of WithLocal to anyone looking to experience the local food away from the hustle and bustle.
Arigato Sena !

Sena was brilliant and the tour was great. After many trips to Japan and at the end of another two week exploration she still had us tasting completely new food and the area was great - the real Tokyo! On this trip we did three food tours in different cities with separate companies and this one was the best by far. Highly recommend this guide. Thanks Sena!!!

We wanted to book a food tour to get to understand the local culture as one of the first things on our three-week trip to Japan, and Seden was the absolute perfect guide. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. We learned about an area we wouldn’t have had a chance to explore on our own, and got the true local experience. She took us to so many incredible spots and made sure that we got to try a little bit of everything, while explaining the local traditions and even some Japanese history. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Seden more, it’s a must-do for anyone coming to Japan!!!

My wife and I did the street tasting tour and had a great time. Not only did we get to sample several local treats, but Sena also immersed us in local culture. It was fascinating and fun! It also got us out of central Tokyo to a non-touristy neighbourhood with local flavour. Getting there was via an extremely easy-to -navigate train ride from Shinjuku station. Sena is super friendly and personable. She speaks English as if it is her native language as she went to university in the USA.

We had an amazing food tasting experience with Seden. We toured a neighborhood of Tokyo we never would have discovered ourselves. The food was interesting and so good. Seden shared information on the history of the area and the food we were sampling. Seden is such a fun and interesting person. We are so glad we met her early in our vacation so we could go back and try more street food in the same area.
