Top Tokyo Walking Tours

We had a fantastic tour around Shinjuku with Anthony. He was knowledgeable, engaging and made it a really fun evening full of local spots. Highly recommended booking yourself in for this tour and then continuing the night with longer stops at the places visited during the tour. Thanks Anthony, we had a great time!

The MagicalTrip Team and our guide, Icchan, who spoke perfect English was awesome. He enhanced the experience with his knowledge of the area and his love of history. He provided great insights into Japaneses culture; and we experienced some cool "hole-in-the-wall" establishments and got drunk too!

Max was magnificent! Our first evening in Tokyo right off the cruise ship! What could have been better? Small group of 12 strangers who became friends over the course of the evening! So much food at 3 sit down and one stand up food stops! And the food, drinks and sake were all 10/10! Tried new things, learned tons, along with a tour off the Shinjuko area… including a walk through the red light district and Golden Gai! We all had so much fun and so many laughs! Max not only a passionate and wonderful guide, he is also a Sake Sommelier! Have been on my fair share of food tours and this one was by far the best! Thanks Max! Will search you out next time in Tokyo! Highly recommend!

We had a great tour. We opted for a 3 hour tour and asked to do some public transit around where we are staying (Shinjuku). Our guide Christiano was great. He pointed out landmarks so we could orientate ourselves, then took us to 4 sites which were all interesting.

Nikki was my tour guide on my first evening in Tokyo. I learned local dives and culture I didn’t know through reading and the internet. She was engaging and shared examples of her first hand experiences from being a local in Tokyo. Because it was a rainy evening I had the luxury of being the only one joining Nikki’s Shibuya evening tour.

Our guide Ikuko was very knowledgeable about history and taught us cultural traditions and customs while visiting local temples and parks. It was a beautiful memorable experience we will always treasure. We couldn’t have navigated the subway without her.

We just completed a private Tokyo tour with Sherilyn (“Custom Highlights and Hidden Gems”), and it exceeded all expectations. In just 4 hours, she managed to give us a rich, well-paced experience that included multiple shrines, the iconic Shibuya Scramble Crossing, and even the Godzilla Information Map in Shinjuku—plus many other interesting stops along the way. Sherilyn was absolutely on a mission—in the best possible way. She maximized every minute, ensuring we not only saw a lot but also understood the history, culture, and context behind each location. It never felt rushed, just incredibly efficient and engaging. What really stood out was her communication and professionalism. She reached out via WhatsApp well before our arrival in Tokyo, making coordination easy and giving us confidence going into the tour. During the tour, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. We logged over 13,000 steps (per my Apple Watch), which says a lot about how much ground we covered—but it was worth every step. If you want a guide who will go above and beyond to give you a meaningful, high-value experience in a short amount of time, Sherilyn is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

We had such a great bike tour—definitely one of the highlights of our trip! I did the tour together with my 12-year-old son, and it was a really enjoyable experience for both of us. A big thank you to Yoshi and especially to Ninja, who was our guide. Ninja had a fantastic, positive energy and made the whole tour feel relaxed, fun, and very well organized. Ninja shared interesting insights along the way and kept the group engaged without ever making it feel too heavy or overwhelming. He was also very attentive and made sure everyone—especially my son—felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. All in all, a really smooth, enjoyable, and well-guided experience. We would absolutely recommend it!
