Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Sedan was a delightful tour guide, we picked a short tour but it really helped us get a feeling for the amazing and hectic city that is Tokyo. We will come back and be happy for Sedan to take us on a longer tour of her favourite parts as there is so much to see. Sedan has helped us afterwards with great recommendations when we were self exploring. Highly recommend Sedan and take a long tour!"
"We had a fantastic time on our tour of Shibuya. Sheilina is an absolutely wonderful guide. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, as well as flexible and able to cater to what we were most interested in seeing and doing. Highly recommended!"
"I booked Gulay for half a day during our first day in Tokyo specifically to get help and tips. Our tour was focused on Meiji shrine, Harajuku and Shibuya. It fulfilled what we needed perfectly and Gulay was friendly and informative before, during and after our tour. She goes above and beyond. Thanks Gulay!"
"We had a great time’ "
"Our tour with Sheilina (10 tastings and Chinatown) was an amazing afternoon! This was so much more than just a sampling of food. Sheilina provided us with fascinating insights of the history, culture and customs that you just cannot get from a guide book or reading about the city online. We felt we were exploring with a friend more than a guide. She shared personal stories of her family and life and taught us extensively about the development and evolution of Yokohama. When we did eat, we were treated to her favorite locations in Chinatown, where interactions with the restaurateurs were part of the experience. Even if you have certain dietary restrictions or likes/dislikes, she is able to accommodate them and make the experience wonderful. If you have an opportunity to spend some time with Sheilina, do so as it will be an experience you won't forget!"
"We spend a lovely afternoon with Sayuri, exploring Tokyo shopping in some very cool areas and had a great meal. We had a lot of fun. And would recommend her as a great guide."
"We had an amazing tour of Shibuya with Sheilina! Even though it was a rainy day, it didn’t dampen our experience one bit. We actually arrived a little early and were able to get started right away once we connected with her, which was a great bonus. Sheilina was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to all the must-see spots while sharing great insights along the way. She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and spoke excellent English, which made everything seamless for our group. Traveling with kids ranging from 11 to 22 can be tough to please everyone, but she nailed it—every single one of them enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend Sheilina if you’re looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience in Shibuya!"
"What really set Alejandro apart was how personalized the tour was. He took the time to understand my interests and tailored the experience perfectly—whether it was exploring hidden neighborhoods, trying authentic local food, or navigating the city like a true insider. I never felt rushed, and every stop felt meaningful. "
"Gerald was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us interesting places and gave us useful tips to get us started in Tokyo. "
"Abu provided a highly personalized, knowledgeable, and friendly experience for our family and friends. Abu's expertise in local culture, history, and food really made for an outstanding evening. More importantly, his flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to our specific interests made all the difference to create an ideal outing and maximizing our little time in Tokyo. Good English. Very recommended experience!"
