Tokyo Half Walking Day Tour with a Local Expert Guide

Peter our guide was very personable, knowledgeable and friendly. Peter got in touch a few days before our tour and we specified what we wanted to see in tokyo. Peter took us there via the subway/trains, which in itself was a great experience. Peter showed us shinjuku gardens, the menji jingu shrine and the ginza district. Peter also assisted us with shopping for specific items, which was so helpful. We had some specific Japanese cuisines that we wanted to try and the restaurants peter took us to were great and the food was delicious. We had a fabulous day in tokyo, thank you peter!

Unfair treatment of tourist. This is the description of tour: Included • Hotel pickup and drop-off (on foot) • Public parks and gardens • Entry to free temples • Local guide Not included • Food and drink • Transportation • Entry to paid attractions Once I go on the tour, SHISH, the guide Made me PAY for ALL his metro fare, admission to Garden. I not not paid my admission to Hase dera temple, I paid HIS??? Lunch I paid on my own, I wants to pick my own S seafood restaurant but SHISH wants to EAT Wagyu steak ?? And pushed me to eat in a Restaurant WITH STEAK, then HE MADE ME PAY FOR HIS STEAK ??? Later as we are walking in the city, instead of me picking what attraction I want to see, SHISH wants to see Museum of Illusion and pushed me inside as I refused. Just to be polite, I walked in, it’s EXPENSIVE museum ¥4000, I was forced to PAY for SHISH admission also??? End of day, I tipped SHISH, but he asked me to PAY his train bus fare back to TOKYO??? On the description, I don’t mind paying my own lunch, transportation but PAYING full fare for the Guide, eating at his favorite restaurant on my tab, paying his return subway fare? Visiting his preferred museum?? Who is the customer?? I really enjoyed green tea, and I was looking for Green tea custard, Shish made a comment, he does not like green tea, ask me to move on??? I had to rush to get my green tea custard. I don’t like his attitude, something he doesn’t like , line keep quiet, and let customer enjoy , give customer a minute. Show some appreciation to the customer. The owner made no apologies to the situation by offering partial refund. He supported his guides behavior. Not a trust worthy company will NOT use in future

Total RIP OFF, worst tour ever When your customer already paid you $166 for a stupid 8 hour your, you have OBLIGATION to cover the minute fees along the way , perhaps paying your thief guide a one one ticket home??? Not nickel and dime ripping your customers off more. The thief of a guide Shish force customer to pay for his museum tour 2x ticket customer and guide, 2x train fare every where. The Thief Shish even make and force customer to pay fur Guide’s expensive Wagyu Steak Meal ??? $166 is A lot of money to include NEXT TO NOTHING on the tour. Every museum entry, admission ticket , Customer pays DOUBLE guided Tour plus customer ??? Unheard of this Rip off??? Customers pay his tab fine… paying the guide ?? THIEF??? Customer even pay for Guides 1 way trip home plus additional fare . Guide keep telling washer customer wants to eat but his liking . Customer likes green tea , guide instead if helping customers look for green tea, said I don’t like green tea, bad taste ??? I feel disgusted my skin peeled on this lousy tour DO NOT TAKE this tour If there are options. The owner has the weakest explanation, supporting his guides THIEF behavior. Accomplice in Crime. Worst TOUR I have ever taken. They might as well take your wallet and credit card and go on spending spree

Had a half day tour with Christian as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, met us at our hotel and took us to some places that we would otherwise not have thought of visiting. Overall, a great morning and would recommend this trip to others

We were 4 older ladies in a city very unfamiliar to us. This was great way to see Shinjuki at night - guided by a terrific guide. Shinjuki was very crowded but very colourful and exciting. Our guide watch that we ladies were able to keep up with the other tourist and always was informative about each stop we made. Very highly recommend this tour.

We had Jibril as our guide who was excellent. He was knowledgeable about areas and was able to take us off the beaten track. Furthermore, he also gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay in Toyko.

We had a superb morning in the company of Jibril who took us around the less well trodden parts of Tokyo. He taught us so much about Japanese history, religion, culture and way of life - much more than any guide book. “Above and beyond” is definitely the description. Tips were given on how to travel, what to see, where to eat and with such kindness. To be shown Tokyo by a local was such a gift. I would definitely recommend this as being the best way to begin your trip, not only to Tokyo but to Japan.

Very enjoyable & informative. Leo was very personable & accommodating.

We were lucky enough to have Andy as our guide. Andy was brilliant - picked us up at our hotel on time and took us to some really fabulous places in Tokyo. I was on the tour with my 82 year-old Mum and Andy was so considerate of her age constantly making sure she was ok with the pace, steps etc Andy went above and beyond to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We spent plenty of time in the imperial palace Gardens which was a real highlight for Mum and I. Andy took care of everything and we got to experience a tour at our own pace. We couldn’t recommend Andy or this tour any higher.

Andy was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of things we would have missed if we did it on our own. Lots of gardens and parks which makes a great contrast in a big city. It was raining on the day of our tour and Andy was able to defer the start of the tour for a few hours which made all the difference in our experience. Not sure that’s always possible but worked out well for us.
