Jenny was a perfect tour...

Ainsley_L, Mar 2026
Jenny was a perfect tour guide. She went out of her way to help us find a place we were lost at even before the tour happened and held a large piece of luggage for us the entire time. She planned a tour exactly to our specifications and my kids loved her!

Feel like a local !

Robert_T, Mar 2026
Amir is an excellent guide. He took us to some of his Hidden Gems and explained much about Japanese culture and customs. Not Japanese by birth, he clearly respects and admires the Japanese life-style and character. Traveling on foot and subway was better in many ways to feel like a local as we moved about the city. A very informative and gratifying experience.

Excellent More than...

Terri_P, Nov 2025
Excellent More than seeing the sights Personal intro to every aspect of Japanese life culture and history. Albert was the ideal guide

Great private walking tour in Tokyo

Mark_P, Oct 2025
Kenta was an amazing tour guide. He met us early at our hotel, helped us navigate Shinjuku station (which is not easy), then guided us to Meiji Shrine. We walked the grounds, explained the history and protocols, then helped us write our wish on an Ema, a small wooden plaque, and hang it at the shrine to be received by the kami. Later we went to Shibuya Crossing and experienced the public crossing. Was a great time and would do it again. He was very kind and patient with all our requests and questions about Japanese life and culture. Thanks Kenta.

Roccio was absolutely wonderful as our tour guide. She took us to so many great places and was so knowledgeable. She even went over the tour time to fit in everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend!!

Introductory tour to Shinjuku

Worldtraveller, Jul 2025
Very helpful guide. Made meeting up much easier than usual. Tailored the tour to our needs. Gave good advice on shopping areas to my nieces. Helped me purchase bullet train tickets to Osaka. Very informative on the sites we saw.

Great experience. Cyril...

Brandy_V, Jun 2025
Great experience. Cyril was very friendly and knowledgeable. After the tour was complete and we went our separate ways, he still assisted us when I sent him a message asking about which subway to take to get to my next experience. Thanks to Cyril we all had a great time and learned a lot. Would definitely recommend doing this tour.

While I received a survey...

Patricia_M, May 2025
While I received a survey about what I would want for the tour none of that was passed on to the guide. I spent time listing all the sites we would cover with the tour we would begin in a few days and none of this was shared. Thus nothing was prepared and we were asked what we should do. Since we had arrived in Tokyo late the ever before we had no clue. It became a hit or miss three hours

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Patricia, Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re truly sorry to hear that your expectations were not met and that the information you provided in advance was not relayed to your guide. This is not the standard of preparation we strive for at Guydeez. We’ve already contacted you by email to follow up directly. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to show you the experience we’re known for. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

Best day in Tokyo

Fernanda_F, Apr 2025
Cristiano was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and in tune with our goals for the day. We had an easy time navigating public transit with him. Box lunch outside the Imperial Palace was a great idea and he knew exactly the right place for photos. He made our day in Tokyo very memorable.

Fabulous tour with Maria

Blake_D, Mar 2025
Our tour guide Maria was fabulous. She made sure we were able to enjoy Tokyo and hit all of the historical and cultural highlights (both old and new culture). We enjoyed the old historical places, the markets and some new cultural highlights.

First time in JapN

Judy_M, Feb 2025
Albert was a great guide. I learnt a lot about Japan. Two hours walking was just right. We probably walked 3-4 kms

Great into to Tokyo

Sara_D, Jan 2025
Our guide Karl was great. This was a really good into tour to Tokyo on our first day. Karl showed us how to use the rail systems as we explored Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya.

Excellent Private Tour

Daniel_S, Jan 2025
Although it was a bit misty in the morning, we enjoyed our visit of the city with Olivier. Olivier was easily reached via WhatsApp he had a suggested tour planned for us. We opted for the car option and the money spent was well worth it. We went to several areas in town...including the Tokyo Tower, Imperial Palace (which was not open that day due to New Year's Holiday), Sensoji Temple, a walk through the streets of Harajuku, and a visit to Shibuya Crossing. Olivier found us a great spot for lunch - Mizuguchi Shokudou. We chose to end our time with Olivier a bit early to head for the Ginza Shopping District. If you are looking for a tour that is catered to your needs while moving through the city, I highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely Worth It!

Kendall_K, Nov 2024
I was in Tokyo on a very short work trip and wanted to ensure I was able to see the sights so I booked this tour; it had the most flexibility and was reasonably priced. Fabian was in communication with me all the way leading up to our tour and was extremely helpful and flexible! I unfortunately ran late for my tour, but Fabian was so kind and waited for me to arrive! We had a great time touring the historical sights and I really enjoyed his commentary and stories from the past. It was absolutely worth it and would recommend it to everyone visiting Tokyo!

Half Day tour Great but too short!

Katherine_M, Nov 2024
Jenny was fun and her English was great. We went to Asakusa and the Tsukiji Temple and Market. Jenny suggested that we meet at the market at 8am because it would get too crowded and she was right!

Very enjoyable sights and information

Christine_J, Oct 2024
Riccardo’s ability to please snd make sure we covered all our requirements We enjoyed the whole experience Too many wonderful sights to be able to mention one.

Menachem_K, Sep 2024

Memorable experience

Jane was wonderful and very flexible to accommodate our needs. We definitely will use her next time.

Great walking tour!

Dwight_P, Sep 2024
This two hour private walking tour was excellent! Fabian communicated well prior to my arrival in Tokyo and designed a custom tour for me based on my interests. He was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I regret not having more time to spend with him. HIGHLY recommend Fabian for personal walking tours.

Amazing personalized Tour guide!

Terese_J, Aug 2024
Our guide Francine was an amazing guide who tailored our tour to our interests and has gone over and beyond to make our tour memorable! I can not emphasize enough how great this tour was that made our layover in Tokyo worthwhile! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who’s going to have a long layover in my Haneda airport!

Great tour!

Daniel_C, Jul 2024
We had a great time on our tour and were given the history of each place we visited. Our guide was able to help us successfully navigate the subway system and we felt confident during the rest of our stay with how to use the subway on our own. Would recommend!

2 hour walking tour - Tokyo

Angela_F, Jun 2024
Albert, our tour guide was very knowledgable on our walking tour through Shinjuku and Harajuku and our final stop at Shibuya. The tour of the Meiji Shrine was absolutely amazing and we even witnessed 2 Japanese traditional weddings. He also was very helpful on how to use the rail system in Tokyo.

Fantastic tour of Tokyo

Our guide was really kind, she was able to speak spanish fluently and she showed us great places to eat.

A fantastic personalized tour

Cathryn_W, May 2024
Rey Matsuno provided an outstanding experience for us! She researched ideas in advance and came up with a plan that would not repeat experiences in our upcoming tour. I can say that this experience was beyond what we expected! Good job!

A wonderful custom tour!

Alice_B, May 2024
We had a wonderful tour with Himena. She customized the trip for us. Showed us so many things. She taught us how to use the subway, explained about shrines and temples.

Olde Tokyo

Val_S, May 2024
Joe was a fantastic guide. He showed us how to master the train system; he shared lots of knowledge; went out of his way to give us tips on where to go and how to get there, and he took us to places in Yanaka which few visitors would experience. We totally enjoyed this walking tour.

Excellent cultural experience

Angus_M, May 2024
Joe, our guide, who is from England but married to a Japanese woman and now living in Japan., was very helpful in explaining all the cultural and practical aspects of Western vs Japanese lifestyle. The highlight was the small, hidden Japanese restaurant filled with locals who were very welcoming

Best tour in Tokyo

Adriennecasey90, May 2024
