Tokyo Private Tour : Tempel, Kultur und moderne Stadt Highlights

I enjoyed my nightlife tour with Renaud so much that I booked a daytime tour to see the temples, gardens and cultural highlights. Before the tour started, Renaud asked me what I had already done and what I was interested in doing to make sure that he didn't duplicate what I had already done or focus on things that I wasn't interested in. He met me at my hotel and took me to a mix of the famous sights that everyone expects to see as well as some hidden gems that I wouldn't have ever known to ask for. For example, we saw Senso-ji, but then afterward he took me to a local shrine nearby that was full of locals celebrating the Tanabata festival and then another small, hidden shrine that was maybe 200 feet from the huge crowds at Senso-ji but was completely empty. Instead of going to the skytree, he took me to a hidden bar thats open to the public on the top floor of the Asahi corporate headquarters where I was able to try some beers that are only available there while taking in views of the Sumida river and surroundings. For lunch, we went to a street vendor where I was able to try some really unique Japanese dishes and try some great sake. We went to a bunch of other places as well, including another really neat hidden shrine that most tourists were walking past, not even realizing it was there. Overall, it was a really great tour that ended up being about 7 hours from start to finish and it would have gone longer if I hadn't cut it off because I was too tired to do the last planned stop. I'm very, very pleased that I hired Renaud for this tour. He's an excellent guide and very reasonably priced for the service that he provides.

This was the most wonderful part of our vacation. We were treated to great locations with our fabulous guide Sebastien. He explained everything we saw as we traveled Tokyo that made the tour exciting and personal. We also had a special shopping request that he helped us fulfill. We recommend this tour highly.

Sebastian our tour guide was one of the best guides I’ve ever had on our trip. He made our family’s first day in Tokyo just perfect. He was tremendously knowledgable, kind, patient, efficient and engaging for myself, my husband and two teenagers. We learned so much, saw a lot and had a wonderful time. He helped us navigate the trains and took the time to look over the rest of our time in Tokyo and give suggestions. He had so much knowledge of all the sites we went to and overall Japanese culture and traditions.

Renaud was our tour guide and provided excellent service. We wanted a tour that combined culture and shopping with places we wanted to see and ones he could recommend. Renaud to created a 4 hour tour just for us. We were extremely pleased that we saw shrines, shopping locations at our pace. He provided history, interesting facts and proper behaviors/customs at the temples and shrines. We included all these sites in just 4 hours. Sensoji temple/Asakusa shrine Nakamise street shops Kappabashi the kitchen supply street Nezu shrine Kabuki theater Finish at Tsukiji fish market Thank you Renaud

Lots of walking so you need to be fit. Great use of the train system, no traffic to worry about. Think hard about what you want to do as you can customise the itinerary to suit your needs.

Great tour as I was able to learn the history of our stops Sam was excellent with communication and made our time

Sebastian was a wonderful tour guide. We really enjoyed our tour and all the information he gave us! He not only showed us all over Tokyo, he assisted with other information for the rest of our vacation. When we come back to Japan, we will make sure we book him again!!!

This was one of the most enjoyable experiences of our trip to Japan. The tour felt relaxed, personal, and perfectly adapted to our interests. We explored a mix of famous locations and lesser-known areas while learning about Japanese culture, history, and everyday life. The day never felt rushed, and we came away with a much deeper understanding of Tokyo than we would have gained on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a more authentic and memorable Tokyo experience.

Our stay in Japan was enhanced by the exceptional support of Renaud. Much more than just a guide, he was a true bridge to the soul of Japan. Thanks to his perfect knowledge of the country, its culture, and its traditions, we discovered absolutely beautiful places, often unknown to tourists, that we would have never found on our own. Each day was a succession of surprises and wonders: hidden temples, authentic neighborhoods, spectacular landscapes, small local spots, and unique experiences far from the usual tourist routes. Renaud shares his passion generously, enthusiastically, and with great kindness. His explanations are always captivating, rich in anecdotes and details that give a whole new dimension to the journey. He knows how to adapt to everyone's desires while taking us off the beaten path to experience an authentic and unforgettable Japan. We leave with extraordinary memories and the feeling of having discovered a Japan that very few travelers have the chance to see. A huge thank you to Renaud for his professionalism, availability, and contagious passion. If you are looking for a French-speaking guide in Japan, look no further: Renaud is simply exceptional.

One of the best experiences of our trip to Japan! Renaud provided an outstanding private Tokyo tour, combining famous landmarks, hidden gems, local culture, and fascinating historical insights. From the peaceful atmosphere of Meiji Jingu Shrine to the energy of Shibuya Crossing and the traditional charm of Asakusa, every stop offered something unique. What made this tour special was the personal touch. Renaud tailored the day to our interests and shared countless stories about Tokyo and Japanese culture that brought the city to life. We never felt rushed and had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore at our own pace. For anyone looking for a private guide in Tokyo, this tour is an excellent choice. Professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended!
