Top Japan Private Sightseeing Tours

Hiro was great! He was very knowledgeable and attentive to our interests. We took a bus, a tram, a metro, and a taxi - so we learned about various public transportation in Japan. We walked a lot but learned so much along the way! This is a perfect tour if you only have a few days in Kyoto!

From the moment we booked our private tour, to being back home, the tour company and then our guide had excellent communication. We met our guide Emmy at the Shin-Hiroshima station and she immediately helped us navigate the station and be on our way to Miyajima. Having a second-generation Hiroshima survivor lead us through our day was wonderful and we were able to tailor the day to meet our interests. Emmy provided answers to our questions, information on what we were seeing, and gave ample time for exploration and photos. After Miyajima we headed back to Hiroshima for the tour to continue with more historical perspective and even a detour to a calligraphy store! She was patient when we wanted to buy snacks or were in the museum. We felt fortunate to have spent the day with this amazing tour guide. It was a long day for all of us and Emmy made sure we weren't overwhelmed with information. She stayed with us all the way back to the Shin-Hiroshima station and made sure we got through with our tickets before departing. Following the tour, she sent photos that she took of our family throughout the day which was very much appreciated.

Yuki was an amazing guide! He allowed us to customize our 6 hour experience in order to prioritize the sights we wanted to see in an order that made sense while offering insights and history along the way. He was patient while we shopped and helped us learn how to navigate the subway system. He also showed us some hidden gems within the more popular areas that made the experience even more memorable. If you are looking for a custom experience with a friendly guide, book this tour and request Yuki!

We had the most wonderful walking tour with Keiji! He is such a kind, sweet, and accommodating guide who truly does this work from the heart. His warmth and genuine care made our experience so special. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Keiji!

Megumi san was very helpful in communicating and organising our tour. Our driver Nars was knowledgeable and flexible. He changed the itinerary when the rain came. We ended up visiting Otaru instead of Osu Ropeway due to low visibility. We enjoyed the delicious seafood at the fish market based on Nars’ recommendation. Definitely recommend this company for tours.

Toshi is the best! So knowledgeable, friendly, and showed us things we would have never seen had we planned the day ourselves. I just put topics of interest like “culture, food, non touristy things” and he hand picked an unforgettable day. As a bonus, he stayed for extra time so that we could explore his local neighborhood which was having their annual shrine festival. He helped us with ordering food, navigating the things to do, and showed us places locals go to pray/give thanks. We will miss him as much as we will miss this beautiful country!!

This is an excellent tour. We took a private tour of Austin. He was punctual. He took us to various sites within the city. His explanations were thorough. His Pace was very good. We covered a lot of ground with many shrines and temples. We saw sites of historical and cultural significance. We had life at a local restaurant with Japanese comfort food. All of my family interacted well with him and he provided much information which is beneficial for the rest of the trip. I highly recommend this tour.

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!
