Jack was a fabulous tour guide. He picked us up from our hotel and drove us around Tokyo, visiting all the main sites in one day. Bonus, Jack spoke on the history behind each site we visited making this a great start to our family vacation. Definitely recommend!

The tour was completely...

Jodi_F, Jun 2026
The tour was completely customizable. Ali provided a potential itinerary and we added some things and took other things off. We were picked up and dropped off in front of the hotel. Our driver, Ali, dropped us off at the entrance or across the street from the entrance at each stop.

Great tour, excellent guide!

Rob_L, Jun 2026
We had a fantastic day in Tokyo with our private guide Jonny. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the Japanese culture and history. He allowed us to tailor our experience to the places we really wanted to see and were allowed all the time we wanted at each location. It made it very memorable as we saw the attractions we were most interested in and never felt we were rushed to enjoy as long as we wished. Many great places we explored and Jonny made it possible to limit the walking when we needed a little break. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough for enjoying Tokyo with a great guide willing to allow us to enjoy all the places we were interested in visiting.

Great tour with Ali

Steven_A, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful day touring Tokyo with Ali as our guide. He took our group to many of the city’s most famous attractions and made sure we got the most out of our limited time in Tokyo. Ali was a safe and efficient driver who kept the tour moving smoothly throughout the day. He shared useful information and local insights about the areas we visited, giving us a better understanding of Tokyo from a local perspective. I especially appreciated hearing his personal views and experiences, which added a unique touch to the tour. The tour was scheduled for 9 hours, but our group became tired after a full day of sightseeing, so we chose to finish after about 8 hours. Ali was very accommodating and understanding of our needs, ensuring everyone remained comfortable and enjoyed the experience. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, professional, flexible, and committed to showing you the highlights of Tokyo, I would recommend Ali. Thank you for helping make our visit to Tokyo a memorable one!

Would not recommend a private tour of Tokyo.

The tour was a glorified taxi service, Utah was a good driver but all he did was drive us to tourist attractions, dropped us off, gave us time to explore and picked us up again to head to the next spot. There was no explanation, no guided tour of the area and he was not really a welcoming driver. He was flexible to exchange one tourist attraction for another, but overall we were disappointed.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback We are pleased to hear that you found Utah to be a professional flexible and accommodating driver. We will certainly share your kind comments with him as we greatly appreciate team members who go above and beyond to ensure our guests have a positive experience. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the tour experience. Our tour is designed as a private sightseeing tour with an English-speaking driver and not as a fully guided tour with a guide accompanying guests at each attraction. We understand that expectations for private tours can vary between destinations and travel providers and we are sorry that the experience did not fully match your expectations. Your comments are valuable and will help us continue improving how we communicate our tour details to future travelers. We genuinely appreciate your suggestions and thank you for highlighting areas where we can provide greater clarity. We are grateful that you chose to travel with us during your visit to Japan and are happy to hear that your trip created many memorable experiences. We wish you continued success with your travel agency and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you your colleagues, friends or clients to Japan in the future. Kind regards

Originally we were...

Kim_C, Jun 2026
Originally we were worried about finding our guide at the cruise terminal. However, turns out that Tokyo port only allows one cruise ship at a time, so connecting was easy. Our driver parked right next to the exit and walked over to find us. Tokyo is second largest population in world, so for us, the private car made the site seeing easy. We drove all around the city, being dropped off and picked up at each site. When needed, our driver, Luke, escorted us to a destination. His recommendation for a lunch restaurant was appreciated and a great choice. We asked lots of questions and he knew the answers. He was very informative along the way.

The day in Tokyo!

We had only one full day and two half days in Tokyo. The full day tour was best for us to see everything we hoped. Our guide Tony went out of the way to help our 7 year old have a fantastic day!

Private tour with a tour guide/driver.

Peter_C, May 2026
Great customizable private tour. Ali was very informative and helpful since I needed help with my wheelchair. Ali was very patient and courteous and cool driving in the crazy traffic of Tokyo. My wife and I are glad Ali made helpful suggestions as to our itinerary, which changed due to his suggestions. We will not do giant group tours anymore!

We had an amazing private tour in Japan with our tour guide, David! He took us to so many great places and made the experience fun, easy, and informative. We’re so glad we booked this tour as one of the first things we did in Japan because it helped us get familiar with the area and narrow down the places we want to go back to and spend more time exploring. Highly recommend!

Tokyo with a driver

Susan_B, May 2026
On our first day in Tokyo, our driver Tony showed us all around Tokyo, including shrines, temples, sights and a great restaurant for lunch. We never felt rushed and he adapted the itinerary to our interests and suggested sights we hadn’t thought of. Tony was extremely knowledgeable and personal and we had a great time on our tour! I highly recommend doing this tour - it was especially helpful for us as we’d arrived late the night before and weren’t up to public transportation and we saw so much that we would’ve missed on our own. Thanks Tony!

Response from Host, May 2026

Private car in tokyo

Private car is a great way to get around Tokyo and maximize the number of places visited. Wonderful to get information from a local about sites visited and to converse about topics of interest.
