From our very first contact, it was clear that young Ryo was different. He wanted to know what both of us would like for lunch so he can make the reservation and what kind of information and guide we were looking for. Many tours and guides made us feel like a race against the clock, rushing and ticking off our list of landmarks to visit. However, our recent Best of Tokyo guided city tour with Ryo was the complete opposite. It was a leisurely exploration of the city’s finest, making every street and site feel more significant. Highly Recommend !!!
