Terrific experience with the best guide in Tokyo!
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!

Amazing tour with a special guide!
Our half-day tour with Maya was absolutely perfect, even despite the heavy rains from a typhoon. Maya is incredibly kind, warm, knowledgeable, and we all adored her. She was just as wonderful with my 75-year old mother as she was with my 9-year old and 14-year old daughters. She was flexible and really went out of her way to ensure we had not just a wonderful day and saw the highlights but that we had a wonderful stay in Kyoto. I can't recommend Maya highly enough - one of the best guides we've ever had!

Delightful Day at Kochi
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Kochi with Kimy as our guide. From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned and executed.
Our tour included visits to Kochi Castle, a delightful sake tasting, a delicious Japanese lunch, Chikurinji Temple, and the beautiful Makino Botanical Garden. Each stop offered something unique, and Kimy shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and traditions of the area.
What made the day truly special was Kimy’s exceptional care and attention, especially toward my elderly parents. She was patient, thoughtful, and attentive to their needs throughout the tour, ensuring they were comfortable and able to enjoy every part of the experience. Her kindness and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind.
Kochi is a beautiful destination, but Kimy made it unforgettable. Thanks to her, we enjoyed a perfect day filled with wonderful sights, delicious food and sake, and lasting memories. We highly recommend this tour and especially Kimy to anyone visiting Kochi.

This was great way to get...
This was great way to get an intro to the city on our first day in Tokyo. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. At the end of our day, she even took us to the train station to help us figure out how to buy tickets for the remainder of our destinations which was a huge help!

This tour has a set...
This tour has a set itinerary but takes you to see all the Hotspots in Osaka! We had Kiko as our Tour Guide and he was the absolute best. He always asked what we wanted to see and was able to pivot as needed. Anyone who ends up with him will be blessed. I was able to get everything I wanted on our tour. After the tour we felt like we had been here for a week! It was so awesome!

A Perfect Day in Kyoto
An unforgettable Kyoto experience. Every place we visited was absolutely breathtaking, and seeing the city through a local’s perspective made it even more special. My guide was incredibly kind and so easy to talk to — it genuinely felt like spending the day with a friend rather than someone I’d just met. We ended the tour with a fun little self‑care stop to pick up face masks and pain‑relief goodies, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a beautiful, warm, and memorable day that I’d recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Day packed with adventures
Eiji was waiting for us with a sign as soon as we got off our cruise ship. He was full of educational information knowledge of the city, patient with our pace & laughed with us. He made sure we had a full day of site seeing while making sure we got back to our cruise ship port on time. If you're cruising & looking for tours, go with Viator instead of booking thru cruise ship. Much more personable tour with guide & you'll see more. We rode taxis, boat, trains & walked through so many sites in Hiroshima. Long but very enjoyable day.

Kyoto highlights
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.

Amazing tour with amazing guide
Sherilyn was exceptional. She customized my tour to fit interests, trimming and dietary needs. She was so knowledgeable and generous my shared her deep appreciation of Japanese history and culture as we moved from site to site by metro and on foot. I would absolutely hire her again.

Minimum time- maximum experience
Kate was a wonderful guide - even before we arrived in Tokyo. She thoughtfully and carefully crafted our tour to allow us to have the maximum experience with minimal time. She was very knowledgeable and ensured we learned as much as we experienced. We are also grateful for all her recommendations for after our tour. Thank you Kate!
