It was a very nice tour to the Imperal Palace and Asakusa Sensoji temple. Our Guide Kyoko was very friendly and gave us intersting insights. We really enjoyed the tour and can highly recommend it.

Miya was so kind, informative, and patient! We highly recommend this tour as it is catered to your requests. She was also able to help us with questions about the subway systems, customs, and even showed us a few words in Japanese :)

Tokyo 4 hrs. Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide, Tachi, was an absolutely amazing experience that exceeded all my expectations. Tachi was knowledgeable and friendly making all stops informative. This tour left me unforgettable memories. The tour was well-planned and scheduled. I enjoyed local food tasting. It’s worth every penny. I would highly recommend it.
