Top Japan Private Sightseeing Tours - page 3

Our tour guide, Kaori, guided us to ten sites in Kyoto for a truly memorable experience in Japan. All of the visited sites, including three UNESCO sites, provided us with a better understanding of the Kyoto and Japanese culture and history. Kaori led us using a comfortable pace throughout the 7-hour tour. One of the most memorable, fun experiences was during our visit to the Bamboo Forest. Kaori placed the camera on the ground while we leaned over the camera for an awesome selfie with the bamboo surrounding us in the pic. Highly recommend Kaori for a wonderful experience.

Excellent tour! Friends had given us a list of best sights to see in Tokyo and I worked with the tour guide, Takako, to see these places. Takako was very well organized and had planned our tour route in advance. She kept us on schedule and told us the history of the places we visited. Definitely a 5-star guide and tour.

Our afternoon tour with Akari was perfect! She adjusted our tour to meet our requests, and was very communicative before the tour, even offering restaurant recommendations! She was very knowledgeable and kind, and her English was perfect! Highly recommended!

We just arrived in Tokyo and we wanted a convenient and enjoyable way to explore Tokyo. Our guide, Eriko, guided us through the city. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We went to the Meiji Jingu Shrine and the Senso-ji Temple. She gave us the history of these sites and instructed us on how to conduct ourselves at these venerated sites. We also walked down Takeshita Street and took in the Tokyo Sky Tree. To top it off was the luxurious vehicle and the driver who took us around the city. The car was waiting for us whenever we were finished. All in all I heartily recommend this tour.

We had an exceptional experience with our private guided tour in Japan, thanks to Taka. He was incredibly considerate and patient throughout the day, and never made us feel rushed—in fact, he generously spent more time with us than originally scheduled to ensure we had the best possible experience. Taka went above and beyond by helping us navigate logistics seamlessly and even made sure we got to our next destination without any stress. One of the highlights was the authentic Japanese restaurant he took us to for lunch —something we would never have discovered on our own. Communication was excellent from the very beginning. We had several emails back and forth to organize the day; Taka was able to provide recommendations and was very accommodating of my request for sites off the beaten path. We couldn’t have asked for a better 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!

Afifa was pleasant, very friendly and knowledgeable of the history, customs and significance of every stop along the tour. She also was very responsive to messages before and on the day of the tour. Thank you so much for making the tour fun. We highly recommend this tour to visitors to this beautiful city.

Our tour guide Richard was wonderful. He stared the tour off on the right foot by contacting me in advance to find out where we were staying and if there were particular things we wanted to see He picked us up perfectly on time in a beautiful large BMW which was very comfortable. The rest of the day went just as smoothly. We started the day at a large Buddhist Temple, and then went to the Skytree which had amazing views of Tokyo. We asked Richard to take us to the kitchen supply district since we wanted to buy quality knives. He was very helpful in pointing out three shops so we could compare knives and prices. We finished with lunch in one of the posh suburbs. Richard still had more he wanted to show us but my partner was lagging so at our request Richard drove us back to our hotel. At the end of the day we felt that we had really absorbed much of the flavor of Tokyo. Throughout the tour Richard shared his extensive knowledge of Tokyo and Japan. It was a perfect day. We both agreed it was well worth the extra cost for a private guide and will advise our friends traveling to Japan to ask for Richard.
