James is a great and generous guide to help you see Tokyo. I only had two short days on my first ever trip to the city so I knew I wanted to make the most of my time by booking a personalised tour. Being able to see the city with someone else navigating, explaining the cultural aspects, and driving around helped me take in the sights and sounds in a meaningful way. I came in with few plans other than hoping to avoid large crowds and James planned the day perfectly. This is a great tour option if you have a specific set of places you want to see or if you're like me and are a bit more relaxed when it comes to an itinerary. Highly recommended! Thanks so much James!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Tokyo and that the day went smoothly. Hope to see you again on your next visit!
We had some problems getting started but our guide was able to make everything right. He showed and took us to and introduced us to places and food that we would not have done otherwise. A very good experience, but it was a long day and fortunately we also enjoyed perfect weather.
Thank you so much! I’m glad everything worked out and that you enjoyed the tour and the beautiful weather!
We had a nice time. We didn’t get any sleep and just got into Japan. Decided to book a private tour because my son’s autistic and I thought it’ll be better for him and others. Although, we had to cut our tour short due to my son. We saw so many beautiful places in Tokyo. It was a very pleasant experience and I definitely recommend it for everyone.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I was a little concerned about your son’s condition, but I’m truly glad you and your family enjoyed the tour, even for a short time. It was my pleasure to guide you through Tokyo, and I wish your family much happiness. I hope to welcome you again in the future.
We had a fantastic full-day private tour of Tokyo with James as our guide. Traveling comfortably in a private van, James was incredibly attentive and tailored the entire itinerary to our interests. We visited a range of highlights, including a peaceful Shinto shrine, the Imperial Palace, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, a bustling seafood market, and the iconic Shibuya Crossing. James provided thoughtful insights throughout and made the day both engaging and seamless. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a personalized and comprehensive introduction to Tokyo!
We saw all the tourist spots in Tokyo. A lot of walking and the guide walks fast. He was informative and friendly.
