Shopping made easy

Michele_S, Jul 2024
Saito took us on a shopping expedition and he was great. He was flexible to change plans as we went and made it easy for us to get around. We went to some vintage stores, a nice department store and a home goods store.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that Saito made your shopping expedition enjoyable and flexible. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Really Got Around in Tokyo!

Leah_S, Oct 2023
Abu our guide from Bangladesh was delightful! The app did not file my questionnaire after a couple of attempts - but that did not deter Abu! We met and he went over a list of areas and types of shopping offered in each and we picked 4. We learned how to use the subway and hit 4 very different areas of Tokyo. We found some beautiful block prints from a vendor that has been doing it for 400 years at reasonable pricing. Got some street food treats. If we saw something we vested off - Abu was very flexible, which we really liked. It helped us get somewhat oriented to Tokyo and we have been running around on our own since. Abu was such a gentleman and helped carry our packages. He took us to a Yakiniku restaurant ( you can grill your meat) and it was one of the best meals we have had. Abu was interesting to talk to as we share information on Tokyo, Bangladesh and the US. We really enjoyed our day!
