Perfect with kids
I loved that I could customize this excursion. Yuka contacted me months in advance to discuss locations. We were traveling with two children 4 and 10 and wanted to create a memorable experience for everyone. Her suggestions were perfect and the kids enjoyed it. We loved Yuka!!! It was a great day!!

Great Walking Tour with Milo
We had a great 3 hour walking tour of Kyoto on our first day in town with Milo. Not only did we get a thorough tour with an excellent overview of the city and culture - he also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time here. Milo really adjusted to our family’s interests and energy level and made it feel like “our” tour instead of a formula. We would enjoy touring with him again!

Fun Tour
We had Mairan as our tour guide and she was fantastic. Not only was she punctual, she communicated all updates either via email or WhatsApp so we were never left in the dark. Mairan was very knowledgeable about the history of the temples we saw and we enjoyed what she had to teach us. This is a great tour to get a brief overview of some of the temples in Kyoto if you have never been to this area before. We had a great time. Bring good walking shoes!

A top day with a top guide
My wife & I spent a fabulous day with Yuji visiting Miyajima & Hiroshima.. From his greeting to us on our arrival at Hiroshima station to saying good-bye at the same location 8 hours later, he gave us wonderful perspectives of both locations as well as sharing his knowledge of the sights we saw.

A great way to spend our...
A great way to spend our first night in Osaka! I went with my family (we're all adults), and we had a blast. Our guide Taka was extremely funny and good to be around. He showed us some tourist hubs in the area, but most of the tour focused on the smaller, hidden gems of the different areas and some of the nightlife. We got great recommendations and ideas for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect intro to Japan!
We had a 4 hour private tour on our first morning in Tokyo, and it was the perfect introduction to Japan! We had been contacted by our guide Maddie before the tour, and we told her a few of the places we wanted to visit. She helped us navigate the train station and walked us through all the areas we wanted to see, as well as many other stops along the way that we wouldn’t have seen without her. Maddie was very knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke very clear English. She knew exactly which routes to take, and we would have taken at least twice as long if we tried to go to all those areas without her. She was a great guide and we wished we could have taken her along for the rest of our trip!

Great if you’re short on time and want to see Tokyo the easiest way possible
There is no doubt this is the easiest, most time efficient way to cram a full day of Tokyo in! My guide Yuki was incredible! He was very knowledgeable, super flexible, and the consummate professional. He reached out weeks prior, when I first booked this tour, and communicated constantly, especially as it got closer to time. He catered the tour to my exact needs, and filled in where I wasn’t sure what there was to see, it being my first time in japan. It didn’t feel like he was a tour guide, felt like a long lost friend. He created a remarkable and unique tour specifically catered to the things that interested me. I outdo;t have asked for a better experience! The vehicle was immaculate, super comfortable, modern, luxury to say the least with heating and cooling seats, recline, control over AC, automatic sliding doors. It essentially was like riding in a recliner from stop to stop. The luxury vehicle option is more pricey, but totally worth it! It allowed me to see and do more than I ever could have imagined on foot. My driver was immediately available, not one time did we have to wait at all. wonderful job! Highly Recommend!!

Authentic Tokyo Experience with an Outstanding Guide
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private Tokyo walking tour with Mieko-san. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and throughout the day she was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring.
What we appreciated most was that she gave us exactly the type of experience we were looking for — authentic places and local experiences we would never have discovered or felt comfortable navigating on our own as tourists. The lunch recommendation was outstanding and became one of the highlights of our trip.
Mieko-san made us feel very welcome, answered all of our questions, and helped us experience Tokyo in a much more personal and meaningful way. She also took beautiful photos of us during the tour, which was such a thoughtful touch.
We highly recommend this tour and especially Mieko-san to anyone visiting Tokyo and looking for a more authentic, high-quality experience.

HIghly Recommend - wonderful tour
Amazing tour, we learned and saw so much that we would not have been able to do on our own. Our guide was wonderful, kind, knowledgeable, kept in contact with us before the tour. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have very little time in Tokyo.

Kyoto Tour with Kiyoto-san
The tour was fantastic! Kiyoto was a truly wonderful tour guide. He spent the entire day with us, explaining Japanese culture, language, customs, and so much more. He catered the day to our preferences (especially with halal food), and he spoke English extremely well. He also took multiple pictures for us and helped us navigate Kyoto and Kyoto station. Kyoto was beautiful and Kiyoto was a really great guide. Truly would recommend with him!

Best tour in Tokyo! Highly recommend!
Fummy is truly an exceptional tour guide! 5 star service from the beginning of the day until the end. I truly feel lucky to have gotten him as my tour guide. He is punctual, pays attention to detail, and I was able to curate my tour. He thought of everything in advance. He also taught me how to navigate the subway system which was beyond helpful. So thankful! Excellent day!!! I’d highly recommend.

Good driver
We were picked up on time by Alam, our driver, in an extremely luxurious vehicle with more than enough space for all our luggage. He had to drive us from Tokyo to Mt Fuji, which he did well - we commented on his safe and relaxing driving. This was not a tour, so he didn’t say much, but this was expected as it was simply for transportation. He did take us to the sites we needed to see and was always waiting for us when we had finished looking around in our own time. All in all, we were more than satisfied.
