Our guide Naoko was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and accommodated our requests for specific things and areas to see. She navigated the metro for us and moved fast so we saw a lot. She is very passionate about her job and it shows. She even looked after our two boys ages 10 & 7 when crossing a street and in crowded areas. We have a friend for life!

Great way to see Tokyo

Our lovely guide Yuriko met us at our hotel and we had a great day with a perfect mix of «old» and «modern» Tokyo - just as we had asked for. Yuriko was extremeny knowledgeable and made sure the day was fun for both the parents and the kids. This is a lovely way to see Tokyo and we highly recommend the private guided tour for a flexible and really great day! Thanks so much!

Yeonmi - the most knowledgeable and friendly guide we used in japan

Yeonmi was an excellent guide that we couldn’t have been happier with. She was extremely knowledgeable of all sites we visited and all things japan. She was able to keep our three children entertained all day and read their moods perfectly, changing activities when needed and staying at other sites when our children were focused. The experience and our day spent touring Tokyo was one of our highlights whilst in japan and we couldn’t thank Yeonmi enough for the day. Would highly recommend Yeonmi to anyone wanting a guided tour around Tokyo.
