Wonderful Private Tour

Izumi is an excellent guide. He’s fluent in English and is well prepared with background materials on all the important sights in Tokyo. We explored several of them, including the Meiji Shrine, the Imperial Palace, the Hama-rikyu Gardens, among others. He was joined by an excellent driver in a very nice, comfortable van. The whole experience was first-rate and we would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a private tour of this amazing city.

Great Tour of Tokyo

Great tour with Takeshi, he provided great historical background on the sites we visited. Also had a driver who was excellent in dropping us off and picking us up. This was a private tour which we loved since we got to pick the sites to see.

Wonderful Tour

We spent six hours with Izumi and his excellent driver visiting some of the most interesting highlights of Tokyo. It was a highly diverse selection, ranging from the Meiji Shrine to the Imperial Palace to the shopping stalls of Akasaka to an extensive Japanese garden. Izumi speaks excellent English and is happy to answer any questions you may have. He is highly knowledgeable about all the destinations and uses an iPad to fill-in the facts and historical perspectives. The van we traveled around in was very comfortable, with excellent air conditioning. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour.

Tokyo highlights with Fumiko and Nino

Our personal guide Fumiko and our driver Nino truly made our first ever visit to Japan delightful! We had been preparing with our various guide books to learn what to expect in order to make our visit positive. Actually we were not sure whether we would be able to put a full day together and actually see very much as the logistics of getting very far without a personal driver were very weak! . In addition the guide books were overwhelmingly foreign. Too many attraction destinations to coordinate a relaxing visit!!! Where do you start? What should we do? Well Formiko our personal guide who suggested and showed, taught, walked us through each historical and culturally important section of Tokyo truly took the time to really submerse us in the experience as she was very intuitive and easy to connect with! You have no real understanding of what is happening without an expert walking you through it. Fumiko and Nino presented the solution! We came away thrilled and we are very much fufilled and feeling this duo provided the guidance and means to accomplish the very best visit possible without question! The best ever duo indeed!

First Visit to Tokyo

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Fumiko and Nino. We saw all the sights we wanted to see in Tokyo. Nino was able to move us efficiently through the city dropping of at the various sights and picking us up without waiting! Nino’s vehicle was comfortable and absolutely spotless. Fumiko reach out to us via email and made up an itinerary that was perfect for our time schedule she is a true professional! We highly recommend this tour and you could not find a better guide and driver combination than Fumiko and Nino.
