Great start and overview of Tokyo. This was our first day in Japan and a great introduction to the country and Tokyo. Our guide, SHUHEI, was EXCELLENT. VERY knowledgeable and interested in what we wanted and our preferences. Tailored the tour to our interests. Sent us helpful links and recommended sightseeing spots, shopping, and restaurants after the tour. Fun and educational. Highly recommended.

This was a great time exploring temples, shrines, and gardens. Learned a lot from my guide (Yuki-san 🙏🏾) and he accommodated to add certain locations I wanted to visit, such as secondhand stores and shoe shops. Would definitely say it's worth it, and hopefully you also get Yuki-san. He was very chill, funny, and knowledgeable about the history of each spot we visited.

No Brainer for First Timers in Tokyo

Perfect Tour of Tokyo

8p7wypbnbz, Sep 2026

If you’re looking for a private tour of Tokyo, look no further. This is an absolute must for anyone visiting Tokyo for the first time. The tour is fully customizable and is a perfect choice for families who want a more personal experience while avoiding large crowds. A huge shout-out to our tour guide, Shuhei, who was fantastic throughout the day and went above and beyond to help when one member of our group was unable to finish the tour. His professionalism, flexibility, and kindness were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend asking for Shuhei by name when booking your tour. He won’t disappoint!

Raluca_K, Aug 2026

The tour was a great immersion into Japan culture. Our tour guide Minoru was great at choosing the best locations, food stalls and making sure the teens had nice time given the heat. Thank you Minoru for a first great day in Japan!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Minoru helped make your first day in Japan a memorable one.

First time trip to Tokyo was amazing!

Pamela_W, Jun 2026

Shuhei was our guide. He was amazing and planned an awesome day filled with wonderful places to see for our first trip to Japan. He asked about what we liked and anything that we definitely wanted to see. He adjusted as needed and went at our pace. He was very attentive to my mom since she is older and moved a little slower. It was an awesome day and grateful for the knowledge and history Shuhei was able to share with us. The place he picked for lunch was great and provided a true Japanese experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that Shuhei provided such a great introduction to Tokyo and helped make your first visit to Japan enjoyable and memorable.

We appreciate you choosing us for your first trip to Japan and hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Extremely organized and individualized our tour

Patricia_D, May 2026

We initially booked Kaz for May 25th for a full day tour of Tokyo for 4 friends. Based on the in depth planning texts we were sharing, we also booked Kaz for May 24. We had 2 very full days that were each unique and wonderfully scenic and fun. On May 25 we saw iconic temples and shrines, a cute, purposely lesser known area of Tokyo to glimpse how the locals live, and ended our jam packed day at Team Lab for an interactive electronic experience that is not to be missed! Kaz handled our schedule with aplomb, making sure we saw everything we wanted to, making sure we had as much time as we wanted at each site, and getting us to our destination timely. His work before we even saw him paid off in spades about putting in our day exactly what we wanted, most of which was suggested by Kaz. Highest recommendation from all 4 of us!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to spend two full days exploring Tokyo with Kaz! We are truly honored that the planning process gave you enough confidence to book a second day with us even before your first tour began. Kaz is passionate about creating personalized experiences, so it means a great deal to hear that both days felt unique, scenic, fun, and perfectly tailored to your group. It sounds like you experienced an amazing balance of traditional and modern Tokyo — from iconic temples and shrines to charming local neighborhoods and the unforgettable interactive world of TeamLab. We’re especially happy that Kaz’s careful planning and pacing allowed you to enjoy each destination comfortably while making the most of your time. Your kind words about Kaz’s preparation, flexibility, and attention to detail are sincerely appreciated. He truly loves helping guests discover both the famous highlights and the hidden gems that make Tokyo so special. Thank you again for your highest recommendation from all four of you. It was an absolute pleasure hosting your group, and we hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday for even more memorable adventures!

Best Tour Guide Ever

Cheryl_F, May 2026

Shuhei was beyond outstanding. He contacted us well in advance so that we could let him know what sites we were interested in seeing in order for him to be prepared. Not only did he make sure that we saw everything on our wish list, but he went out of his way to make sure that we experienced local sites, as well as off the beaten path sites, that we never would have thought of on our own...which turned out to be some of the most memorable highlights of our tour. The local restaurant that he took us to for lunch wasn't fancy, but the tempura shrimp that we had was delicious and cooked to perfection (and I am an extremely picky eater). The restaurant was plain and simple, but to be honest, I don't think we had any meal as delicious during the following 2 weeks that we were touring Japan. During our tour, we experienced subway transit and train transit multiple times. It blew us away to see how impeccably clean and how zero graffiti existed...anywhere! Shuhei was a fountain of information explaining anything and everything as we walked along. By the time the tour was over, we were ready to adopt him and his lovely wife (who we hadn't met but felt like we had). He's just very personable, easy to relate to, and genuinely out to please. His English is impeccable, so no worries about miscommunication. And, he even kept in touch with us afterward. The next day we experienced an earthquake followed by a tsunami alert while still in the hotel. The day before, he had mentioned how frequently they have earthquakes. I sent him a text asking if he had scheduled that just so that we had the opportunity to get the WHOLE Japan experience...LOL I would definitely, without hesitation, hire him again! (Best advice, make sure to wear super comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking involved...but well worth it)

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and detailed review. We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Shuhei and that the tour became such a memorable part of your trip to Japan. He always strives to create experiences that go beyond the typical tourist spots, so it means a lot to know that the local and off-the-beaten-path places became highlights for you. We are also very glad you enjoyed the tempura lunch! Sometimes the simplest local restaurants leave the strongest impressions, and your comments made us smile. Your kind words about Shuhei’s personality, knowledge, and communication mean a great deal to us. We will be sure to share your review with him and his wife — they will both be very touched. We also appreciate your sense of humor regarding the earthquake and tsunami alert! Thankfully everything remained safe, but it certainly became an unforgettable “full Japan experience.” Thank you again for choosing us for your trip. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Japan anytime in the future. And yes — comfortable walking shoes are definitely recommended!

Must do!

Lauren_H, May 2026

Kristina_E, Apr 2026

I did this tour with my family, including an 11-year-old and 13-year-old. Our tour guide, Shuhei, contacted me a few days before our arrival in Japan to curate our tour. Shuhei was very informed and easy to talk with. We enjoyed our tour.

Tokyo full day tour

Lauren_A, Apr 2026

Yuki was an amazing tour guide for our last stop of the cruise in Tokyo. It was our first time visiting Tokyo, and we came at the perfect time to see the cherry blossoms. Even though it was raining, we still had such a great time exploring the city and using the subway to get around. I had a few specific things I wanted to find, including Onitsuka Tiger shoes and Pokémon cards, and Yuki was incredibly helpful. He knew exactly where to go and made the experience easy and enjoyable. He was also so kind and thoughtful that he even picked up Pokémon cards for us and gifted them to us, which made the day even more memorable. Yuki was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable navigating such a large city for the first time. One day in Tokyo is definitely not enough, and we would absolutely use Yuki again the next time we come back!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your first visit to Tokyo and got to experience the cherry blossoms. Yuki will be very happy to hear your kind words. he always goes the extra mile, and its great to hear that the Pokémon card surprise made your day even more special.

Tokyo highlights in one day

Amanda_T, Mar 2026

We had a fabulous day in Tokyo with our tour guide Minako. Tokyo is a huge city and very difficult to navigate without help. Minako spoke flawless English and took us to all of the locations that we had asked to see. We travelled by train, metro, taxi and walked a lot! We saw the Meiji Shrine, the Sheuya crossing and were lucky enough to see the blossom at the Imperial Palace. We would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a fabulous day exploring Tokyo with Minako. As you mentioned, Tokyo can be quite overwhelming to navigate, so it’s great to know that Minako’s guidance and fluent English helped make your experience smooth and enjoyable. It sounds like you had an amazing itinerary—from the peaceful Meiji Shrine to the vibrant Shibuya Crossing, and even catching the beautiful cherry blossoms at the Imperial Palace.

Wonderful day in Tokyo with an exceptional guide!!

betsygorski, Nov 2025

Kahori was a pleasant, thoughtful and informative companion during our full day tour in Tokyo. Though we communicated about the tour ahead of time, Kahori was very flexible about making last minute changes due to our previous day’s itinerary. Both my husband and I were impressed by our day. We loved savoring the foods in the fish market (we even had whale sushi!), the travel by subway, visiting a variety of neighborhoods including Yanaka and shopping all along the way. We started the day in Hamariku, so lovely and serene and enjoyed the expanded history Kahori shared. At the days conclusion we both agreed we would never have been able to closely approximate in 3 days what we covered in our full day tour. We recommend this tour to anyone who is in Tokyo for a short time and wants to make the most of their stay.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We’re so happy to hear that your full-day tour with Kahori was an enjoyable and memorable experience for both of you. Kahori always does her best to stay flexible and create a tour that fits each guest’s needs, so it means a lot to us that you appreciated the adjustments made on the day. We’re also glad that you enjoyed the fish market, Yanaka, the subway ride, and the peaceful start at Hamarikyu. Your kind words about covering in one day what normally takes three truly encourage our team. Thank you as well for recommending the tour to other travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Tokyo again in the future. Wishing you both a wonderful continuation of your trip.

Perfect first-day Tokyo with Keiji

This was our first-ever day in Tokyo and Keiji set us up for the whole trip. From the start he asked about our interests and shaped the route accordingly—mixing well-known spots with calm backstreets so we weren’t overwhelmed. He handled navigation, explained cultural do’s/don’ts clearly, and kept a smooth pace with time for photos and questions. We finished feeling oriented, confident with transit, and excited for the rest of Japan. If it’s your first visit, book Keiji—you’ll save hours of confusion and get a thoughtful overview of the city.
