We will provide you the contact details of your diver guide and also your diver guide will be holding a board with your name written on.

    Oldie-but-Goodie Times

    marysol_a, Oct 2025
    I arranged the private tour for our family, one member being a stubborn senior citizen. Our driver, Soya, picked us up and was able to bring a wheelchair for us to use. He lead us at each site, accompanying the our oldie-but-goodie in her wheelchair. We saw sites that we would not have seen without help. He arranged a lunch for us, a private room to fit the 8 of us and helped us with restricted diets. He was patient, very accommodating and all-around fun to talk to. And lastly, we were able to have pictures with all of us in it. Thank you Soya and Outech! My tours with Outech have been consistently exceptional!

    1st time in Japan and our tours with Riley were 5/5 stars!!

    Dan_S, Sep 2025
    The company that took us is called Outech and Riley was our guide. She was the sweetest kindest and most accommodating and flexible person we could have wished for. She was incredible at communicating in English and reached out immediately to plan a customized itinerary for the things that we wanted to see Around Tokyo. The van that we used was luxurious with captains chairs that reclined for comfort and a stool to put your feet up after walking around the city. I can’t speak highly enough about Riley. Riley did the tour for us on our first full day in Tokyo. We had such an amazing time that we booked her for our very last day to visit Mt Fuji and Hakone. Same 5 star experience. She supplied water, snacks, was incredibly flexible and patient and even made sure that she marked a map of Tokyo and region with all the places we had visited so that we could return should we want to. She wasn’t just very highly proficient at English. She also had a lot of knowledge about the history of Japan and taught us a lot about the different things that we saw and the Japanese culture. 5/5 stars!!

    Kind flexible guide and knowledgeable

    Steve_R, Jul 2025
    Very flexible but equally Tomoya came up with the right suggestions to fill our knowledge gaps. We had a great day out and we visited places that we would not have been able to visit without the wealth of knowledge. The limo is super comfortable and has aircon and water. Highly recommended!

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Mr. Steve_R, Thank you very much for using our service. I really appreciate your feedback about the tour. It was such an honor to show you around the city and to offer an opportunities for you to learn Tokyo as your driver and guide. I hope you will come back to Japan again someday. Best regards, Outech Tomoya

    Private tour for family of four.

    David_S, Jul 2025
    Soya took us to all the spots in Tokyo that we wanted to see. He was very friendly and extremely helpful. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with him touring the city.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Dear David Thank you for having our service this time! It was a wonderful time for me too! Hope you could have a great time watching a baseball game and sumo wrestling and exploring Japan. Best wishes, Outech Soya

    Best Tokyo guide Richie!

    Yuri_T, Jul 2025
    We had an incredible private tour in Tokyo with our guide Richie. He was an excellent communicator, tailoring the tour perfectly to our interests. Richie took us to hidden local spots for delicious, well-priced meals and gave us an authentic taste of Tokyo. Friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable — we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Hello Yuri-san! Thank you for the great review! I also had a wonderful time with you all on that day. Thank you! I will never forget you all. I hope I can see you all again someday! Best regards, Outech Richie

    This tour was a perfect...

    Jay_B, May 2025
    This tour was a perfect introduction to Tokyo. Leonardo was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He introduced us to key highlights of the city while sharing its rich history with us. We were able to see and experience much more than we would have on our own and he was extremely helpful navigating some of the shopping experiences that were new to us. Highly recommended

    Pick this tour! You won’t regret it!

    roy_d, Apr 2025
    The tour guide and company is very professional. The transportation is high quality and the English speaking guide/driver is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip and it was exactly what we wanted.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Dear roy_d, Thanks for your wonderful review !! we are looking forward to seeing you again!! Let’s see you again soon !!! Outech Takumi

    A Pleasant Way To See Tokyo

    Julie_C, Dec 2024
    Our guide, Richie, was very pleasant and informative about Japanese history and culture. He was also very flexible and accommodating, adding a stop at our request and willing to tailor the tour to our group's preferences. We appreciated his safe driving and his tips on where else to visit during our stay in Tokyo.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Hi Julie! Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it! I was very happy that we could spend a great time together through the tour. I hope we can meet again someday in Japan. Richie

    Perfect one day tour of Tokyo

    Murray_R, Oct 2024
    My wife and I booked this tour to see as much of Tokyo’s main attractions in a short time. We chose a private tour because we didn’t want to be led around in a large group of people. Our guide, Danish, was amazing! He took us around the city in a comfortable van and helped us choose the sites we should see based on our into. He took us around the sites and told us everything about them. The tour company was excellent to deal with and stayed in contact with us before the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a private tour with knowledgeable staff. It is truly a five star experience!!

    Excellent introduction to Tokyo

    Fred_K, Sep 2024
    Great to to choose the things you want to see, to get there with ease, to hear the background of the site, and to converse with a native on things past and present.

    Wonderful Overview of Tokyo

    Mark_R, Aug 2024
    During our few days in Tokyo before embarking on a cruise, we took a tour on our initial full day in the city. The tour provided an excellent overview of the city's highlights, and our guide, Udi, ensured it was a memorable experience. Udi was an exceptionally knowledgeable and informative guide who paid close attention to our needs. With another trip to Tokyo planned for next April, I would eagerly book another tour with this company, and I hope to have Udi as our guide once more.

    10/10 Recommendation!!

    Kristin_S, Jun 2024
    The tour was fun and professional and Ryu was great and accommodating! He was also very helpful and super friendly!!

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Major Tokyo Highlights

    Thomas_D, Jun 2024
    Tomo was a great guide and took us to all the highlights in the comfort of an AC vehicle. He was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Would recommend as a way to see all the main tourist sites in Tokyo in one day without navigating the train system.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thank you for using our service. It was a great honor to be able to offer you a tour without stress. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Tomoya Sato

    Tokyo and Riley a perfect blend

    Nancy_F, May 2024
    was adorable and we learned so much from her. Tokyo was wonderful. Everything was explained clearly. She told us history and social customs.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Dear Nancy, Thank you for using our service the other day, and giving us five stars! It was my honor to meeting you and share a part of Tokyo. It was also my precious time to talk about various topic such as history and social issues. Please kindly take a good care of yourself, I hope to seeing you again to talk more! Best regards, Riley

    Tokyo Pride

    William_M, Apr 2024
    Our tour guide, Ryu, was excellent. He showed us hidden spots and the best locations for taking pictures. He is very proud of his city and Japan. His English was very good, we never had a problem with understanding him. I would highly recommend this full day tour to see as much of Tokyo as you can in one day.

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Dear William, Thank you very much for your feedback. It's my greatest honor to provide you with a satisfying trip. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, and let's meet again in Japan. Best wishes to you. OUTECH Ryu

    Anna_V, Mar 2024

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Dear Anna_V Thank you very much for using our service. I'm happy you liked the tour in Tokyo and got to know Tokyo and also I'm very honored to be your driver. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Tomoya Sato

    Aimi is SUPERB!

    Craig_G, Mar 2024
    We very much enjoyed our day with Aimi. She is an excellent guide who knew where we needed to go but also observed us and listened to us so that she knew where we wanted to go. As an example, she observed me looking at some beautiful dishes and asked me if I would like to shop for more. She knew right where I would enjoy shopping and I purchased several things. She was so good with our 11 year old daughter as well as with our young adult children. She really got our trip off to an amazing start!

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Dear Craig_G, Thank you very much for giving us a great review! I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed a lot, and I also enjoyed the time with you for three days. I believe we will meet again! All the best wishes, Aimi.

    A great day exploring Tokyo

    Kata_S, Feb 2024
    Riley was an excellent tour guide, we really enjoyed ourselves, the car is very comfortable, this is the best and most comfortable way to explore Tokyo. At the end of the day we made a booking for another day so that is how good it was :)

    Response from Host, Feb 2024

    Dear Kata_S, Thank you for using our service the other day and giving us five stars! I also really enjoyed spending time with you and it’s my truly honor to have another booking from you. I hope you enjoyed the additional tour! Best regards, Riley

    Very satisfied

    Amie_L, Aug 2023
    Mr. Tomo Sato was our driver/guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, adaptable, and easy going for our first time in Japan. It was extremely hot during our tour so transportation with AC helped beat the heat. He made reservations ahead of time to make sure places we want to visit are available (hedgehog cafe) and took us to really delicious restaurants. The entire family (between 6 year old to 77 year old) all bad a great time. The experience was really smooth. We will definitely recommend Mr.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Dear Amie_L Thank you very much for your comment full of compliments. It means a lot to me. I'm very honored to be able to offer you a wonderful day and the time I spent with you was an unforgettable memory. I hope to see you soon. Tomoya

    See the sites in comfort

    Gomez_E, Jul 2023
    Our guide contacted me the day before to ask what sites we would like to see. I gave him a list of interests we have and he made the perfect tour for us. We spent a comfortable day seeing many sites that would’ve taken us days otherwise.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Dear Gomez_E Thank you very much for your review. I’m glad that you had a good tour with me, and I had a great day with you, too! Please take a good care of all of your family and I hope to see you soon, enjoy the cruising! Yosuke from OUTECH

    An amazing experience

    Ryan_P, Mar 2023
    Our guide Moe was absolutely wonderful. She began by contacting us a week ahead of our trip to carefully plan the itinerary. We were greeted with cold waters, a snack tray, and in-car wifi if we needed it. During the trip, she took us through the must-see list of Tokyo, providing cultural and historical framework along the way. a few highlights were Harajuku, Shibuya Sky, Meiji Shrine, Akihabara, and multiple stops for cherry blossom photo opportunities. She tried to include each of us by engaging us individually, including the children, in conversation to better customize the experience. She also delivered us hand-made thank you bags with a customized note at the end of our trip. Midway through the tour, I discovered my friend was also in Tokyo, and she found a restaurant that could accommodate a large group and made the reservation for us. She really went the extra mile and was amazing. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have Moe lead your experience.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Dear Ryan_P Thank you for writing such a great review. I'm so glad. how are you,everyone? I remenber the time when I spent time with you in Tokyo.

Thank you so much! Moe Nagatomo
