Top Japan Private Sightseeing Tours

Eri gave us a very informative, insightful tour of Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park and the Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island. It is a lot to cover in one day but she had planned it perfectly. A very good tour with a friendly tour guide. Highly recommend.

My tour guide Umi was excellent! She contacted me several times prior to the tour to arrange sites to visit. I was interested in quieter spots in Tokyo that hoards of tourists don’t typically go to. I gave a few suggestions and she gave excellent suggestions too. The tour was well paced and I didn’t feel rushed at all. Umi was very knowledgable and kind!

Family of four with kids 11,9 and we lived our tour with Naoko. She explained the shrine and the temple to us with detail we never would have known or under on our own. She also took us through the city to some shops and we tried some authentic food and snacks. Even on a rainy day we had a great experience with lots of good pictures!!

Our guide, Risa, was absolutely amazing! She customized our tour so we got to see our top places. Tokyo is huge, so you can see 3-4 sites on the tour. Risa was so knowledgeable, kind, patient, and willing to answer all of our questions! We did a lot of walking but we were forewarned about it. Would highly recommend!

Our guide, Atsushi, was great! He met us at our hotel in Hakone and took us clockwise to tour all the sites. He was informative and taught us a lot. Our group was two adults and a 14 year old. We saw Mt Fuji from the rope way, but unfortunately the pirate ship was canceled because of high wind. We would absolutely use Atsushi again for this tour, or any other tour he provides.

Incredible experience that was the highlight of our Kyoto trip. Milo was an incredible guide, had such an vast knowledge base about everything from history to current culture to hidden gems for snacks/matcha/coffee. He was very patient given our young kids and we never felt rushed. 11 out of 10 recommend the experience with Milo.

Our guide Yoshi was amazing and he took us to TEN phenomenal sites in Kyoto! This would be impossible on our own without his knowledge of the itinerary layout plus the means to navigate the transportation. We saw everything we desired—Golden Temple, Bamboo Forest and gardens, Kimono Forest, major Temples and Shrines. Be sure not to miss the astonishing Sanjusangendo Temple! He also took us to the Gion District and knew so much history of the area and the Geisha culture. His English is great. His lunch recommendation perfect. He took photos, timed bathroom breaks and was delightful to get to know. Please recognize that you will be exhausted with all the walking plus hopping transports. It’s a long, but oh so satisfying day of touring. If you are a cruise passenger logistics are even further connecting from the port to your guide. Cruise shore excursions usually offer 2 Kyoto highlights. We highly recommend this tour for an all encompassing experience in this beautiful city!

Emon was our guide in Tokyo. He did a GREAT job showing us what we were interested in seeing! I don't think we missed a thing! I would highly recommend him for any days you have to spend in Tokyo. He had a lot of knowledge of the historical sights we visited, and was and entertaining host!
