Gulay was a fantastic guide for our first day in Shibuya. She was so helpful in teaching us how to use the Shibuya Train station and met us right at the designated spot. We walked a lot of the area with her pointing out things that we didn't know anything about. We took the train to the Harajuku area and Takeshita street, so many interesting things to see there. You MUST try the strawberries on a stick, this was a delicious treat. Gulay also took us to the Meji Jingu Park which was just lovely.
We booked a private tour and our guide, Sheilina Toh was excellent. She really tuned in quickly to what 5 women would love to see and do. Sheilina was very informative and knew the hidden gems. Loved her!
Shibuya district is a shopping center. Saw the shops, local parks and the shrine. Well worth the trip.
Our guide Sheilina, was the utmost professional and at the same time we felt like we had know her for ever. Sheilina, kindly met us at our hotel which was an hour by train from the Shibuya district, as I was very unsure of the rail system being our first day in Tokyo. The tour was for my 17yr old granddaughter, who loves everything Anime. this was a special Grandmother, Granddaughter trip to Japan. Sheilina, made it so much fun, was informative in an easy way, not boring at all. She found so many things that my granddaughter wanted to do, see and buy. Sheilina took us to a Cosplay cafe, which was a riot, something you expereince once, well at my age anyway. Sheilina helped us get our train tickets and directed us on our way on the rail system. We highly recommend Sheilina, who very obviously enjoys her role as Tour guide.
Gulay was an excellent guide. She took us on a walking tour on our first night in Tokyo through Shinjuku and Harajuku. She was flexible and easy going and knew everything we needed to know. She taught us to use the subway and the Suica card!
We loved our tour with Gulay soo much! We wanted to shop in the vintage section of Japan and had so much fun. She also helped us navigate the trains and helped us find a wonderful ramen place.
Sena, our guide, was amazing! She showed us the scramble, a few other highlights, and at our request, tailored the tour to take us on a very efficient shopping expedition to get exactly what we were looking for. She showed us a new restaurant, KURA, with sushi on a conveyer belt, which I have always wanted to do. She recommended other activities for us, such as a boat tour, and let us know exactly where to get some other specific souvenir items after our tour. She followed up with us several times to answer further questions. We loved our time in Shibuya and Harajiku with Sena!
Ask for Carlos to be your guide. He was excellent and fluent in English. He met us at the Hachiko memorial statue and explained the history of the bronze dog waiting patiently for his long deceased owner. Then he walked us through a very hip area of Shibuya and we had matcha tea, then through a primarily childrens' shopping area and finally to the Meiji Shrine. We felt we got an excellent overview of this part of Tokyo with a wonderful guide.
Great tour. Just what we wanted, to get a feel of the area. Gulay was very knowledgeable and flexible.
Amazing tour with Gulay! We hit all of the Top Must See locations and learned about the historical details for each. Eneded with a recommendation for Ramen that did not disappoint! Highly recommend you take this tour day one of your visit to Tokyo.
