What people are saying about Tokyo

The guided walk we booked with Lokafy was really excellent. Our guide for three hours in Tokyo was Romana and we really enjoyed our time with her. She collected us at our hotel, took us around our local area for a short time then we headed by metro to another area of the city. She showed us some great places in our time together. Some places were with a view to us spending some further time there after our tour with her. This was a great introduction to a new city. It was a very different experience from a group walking tour but was more enjoyable. I would recommend Lokafy as an organisation and will use them again on future trips. If you use them in Tokyo, ask for Romana as she is a great guide.

Absolutely loved every minute of our food tour. Michie made us feel very welcome and gave an amazing insight into the street food around Shibuya. We learnt the history behind multiple foods, as well as learning lots about the Culture of Japan in it’s whole. We couldn’t recommend this experience enough. Thank you so much Michie for the amazing evening! Zakk and Sam :)

Great experience, well organised, (we were met at the meeting point with a sign) ,authentic, we learned a lot about Asakusa area in an hour and a bit! We had blankets and our seats in the rickshaw had heating pads, so we were not cold despite it being February! Our guide Yuki was very knowledgeable and took great pictures of our family ! Definitely recommend!

Ivana was our photographer in Tokyo and the photos of my mum and i turned out very well capturing both posed and candid photos the way we wanted. She is professional and easy to work with and she knew all the best places to capture those memories though some walking required. We had a lot of fun throughout. Highly recommend this activity!

Good driver, only the Sushi place he recommended for lunch is bad
