      Highly recommended! 10/10
      Thank you so much to our amazing guide Kenji Kasama! This Tokyo excursion guide is an absolute must for anyone visiting the city! From the start, his passion and expertise shone through, making our tour seamless and unforgettable. He crafted a personalized itinerary that perfectly balanced the trip. His deep knowledge of Tokyo’s history and culture brought each location to life, and his navigation skills made exploring the city stress-free. Plus, his warm and engaging personality made the day feel like exploring with a friend. If you want to experience Tokyo like a local, book Kenji—it’s worth every moment!

      Best Private Tour Guide of Kyoto - Mr. Kazuo Sumi
      Mr. Kazuo Sumi is a very friendly and informative guide. He was kind enough to work out an efficient site seeing plan for us (since we were in Kyoto for just 8 hours! Just like an elderly gentleman, he guided us through the metro / bus / tram network and at each location, took his time to explain us everything about the significance, Japanese culture et al. Even his knowledge and guidance on the right souvenier shops and local markets helped!!! He worked with our pace and our plan which made this a truly private experience

      Excellent experience and tour guide
      Rue was our guide and she was excellent. I did not have much exposure to Japanese history before I came here and she definitely filled in a lot for me. She is extremely knowledgeable of Himeji Castle and pointed out many details that I would’ve never picked up had I went on my own. I will book another tour with her next time when I come back.

      Expensive taxi ride
      Communication breakdowns with three individuals resulted in an inability to adjust the tour schedule without impacting the completion time. Consequently, the tour duration was reduced from nine hours to five and a half hours. While acknowledging partial responsibility, we note the limited flexibility offered. Despite our expressed preference for minimal temple or castle visits, the initial destination was a temple requiring over an hour's travel time. The attached photos are of the Monkey park and rickshaw ride in the Bamboo jungle. We had a difficult time explaining that these were our priority destinations. We had to pay extra for these activities on top of what amounted to a very expensive ($1,000+) taxi ride.

      Great Private Tour of Tokyo!
      We had a great private tour with Kei. Communicating with him ahead of time was easy and gave me confidence that we were going to make a great use of our time. He set a great itinerary based on what we were looking for. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I loved how he shared lots of Tokyo’s rich history and his passion for the city. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo!! Ask for Kei!

      Private Day Tour Tailored to your Interest
      This tour was absolutely tailored for my husband and I visiting Japan for the first time. We were able to choose the sites. We wanted to see oh while using public transportation, so we would feel at ease. Koba was outstanding and went above and beyond, providing me with information about each site that we visit as well as helpful hints to using the metro.

      Excellent day with a wonderful guide
      Minori was our guide and she really looked after us. She was well informed about all aspects of the Island and was very flexible with what we included in the trip. Unfortunately for us the Pagoda was being repaired so was not visible and the ropeway was not operating because it was winter so we could not go to the top of the mountain. I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

      Highly recommended day trip from Sapporo
      Great day trip from Sapporo! Our guide, Mr Roy Aoki, is very knowledgeable of the history of Nikka Whisky and it's founder and personally guided us throughout the distillery in Yoichi. Our Otaru visit is very rewarding, thanks to Roy who recommended the best place to purchase a music box and best place to have snacks. More power to your tour agency👏👏👏

      A memorable- lifetime experience
      Rita and I are world travelers; we came to Hiroshima knowing it was going to be a unique experience and indeed it was. Yuko, was our tour guide; professional, extremely knowledgeable. We found in her a great ambassador of peace and felt touched and encouraged to continue working towards peace too. Thank you Yuko for this memorable tour to your resilient city and people. Please do not miss this experience and tour.

      Great Tour
      We had an 8 hour tour with Nobu, who was fantastic! Nobu took us all over and shared plenty about Tokyo and Japan with us. We had seen a lot of the sites previously but had a whole new level of appreciation for them after visiting with a guide.

      Tokyo in a day
      Sam was great and got us around Tokyo very smoothly. We packed all of Tokyo in one day. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to cover lots of ground in one day.

      Great Tokyo Day Tour
      Izumi provided a great day-tour of Tokyo! He shared a wealth of information about Japanese history, speaks English very well, and is very kind. Highlights for us included visiting the Asakusa shrine (Buddhist temple) where you can get your fortune revealed, fish market (we had sushi lunch at Sushizanmai), a book and stationary store with traditional offerings, the Meiji Shrine (Shito temple) as well as Mizukoshi (a posh department store). We recommend doing this tour early in your visit in case you see something you want to revisit (we did)! Also, have no fear of the Tokyo subway. It is clean and safe. Moreover, Izumi will help you navigate the system.

    Great photography. We had a wonderful experience. It was our first time in Kyoto and our photographer accommodates us professionally. Easy to work with and fast response. She handles my three-year-old perfectly. Very helpful with our needs. She’s nice and speaks English so that’s a plus. We love our pictures. Will recommend for future tourist.

    Kyoto is a such a beautiful city and my family wanted to have the lasting memories of professional photos of our family on our visit. Our photographer, Shoya, was perfect for this experience. We agreed on a location and he reached out several times to help me out (including sending a picture of the meeting site.) He walked us through several very beautiful locations and quickly and efficiently took the pictures. (This was important because it was very hot out that day.) He also mentioned a few places to see after the photoshoot. It was a fun time.

    Shortly after our return home, we got the email with the link to the pictures and WE LOVE THEM! We are very glad we chose to have a photographer in Kyoto and even happier that it was Shoya. (Thanks Sho!)
