We spent a day with Mr. Abu, discovering Tokyo. We went through the whole of Tokyo, we saw so much that we would never have found on our own. We got to know Tokyo through the smells, tastes, habits of the people who live in Tokyo thanks to Mr. Abu. Mr. Abu put a lot of effort into showing us all of it in one day, which seemed impossible. He knew the answers to all of our questions Mr. Abu has a very good eye and a great sense for photography, thanks to that we will take home unforgettable memories. He spent twice as much time with us as he should have and we will remember that. Considering that we are a group of two moms with two twenty-three year old sons, our interests are different, but he made everything interesting for us. Mr. Abu, we are grateful to you for meeting you. You are a legend!!!!Mr Abu the Legend

She knows her stuff, cares about your specific interests and is charming. We learned so much about the culture, how to get around and insider tips. Thank goodness for her. First day must in Tokyo

We had a great time discovering Tokyo with Gulay who showed us areas that we would not have found and who provided us with the historical and cultural background to understand Tokyo. Why do they have cat and otter cafes? Pets are typically not allowed in apartments. How do you show respect at the Meiji Jingu? You bow before entering the gate. We also learned about Harajuku fashion, discovered sushi sandwiches, candied strawberries and did the Shibuya Scramble. It was a fun day.Tokyo discovered

Gulay gave me and my work colleague and fantastic tour of modern Tokyo. I didn’t realize it at the time but as a foreigner (albeit one that’s a professional guide that’s lived in Tokyo for years), she understands what’s interesting for us and not. A freak snow and rainstorm interrupted our tour and she rolled with punches and took us to experience a restaurant while we warmed up.
Very happy and would recommend to any foreigner in Japan interested in getting a good overview of the city and history.
Great tour - unique perspective

We had a really good experience on our tour of Shibuya, Meiji, Shinjuku and many stops in between, with Abu, our guide for a bespoke tour with food stop at an excellent sushi restaurant in a building I have no idea how to fine again! And that’s kind of the point of doing a Withlocals tour - you can easily go to Shibuya or Shinjuku by yourself but as tourists in a strange land it really helps to have someone like Abu to guide your steps, even if you have first guided his as to where you would like to go, as we did because we have been to Tokyo before, so did not want to be taken to all of the more obvious places.
It was a very hot day, so Abu was careful to include stops and frequent visits to air conditioned buildings and to make the occasional detour via a pachinko arcade or a food court to get some cool air and cut off a corner!
The sushi was great, and the Sake tasting was too - even though it confirmed my already formed opinion that I just don’t like sake. Sorry Japan, sorry Abu. The walk to Meiji shrine was fun and Abu regaled us with history lessons galore. He also took some great pictures, with his own phone which he sent us and with ours too. Abu is a much better photographer than I am, so we were glad to get these.
The other advantage of taking such a tour was all the side tips - a whiskey museum, an entrance to our hotel from a metro line, a metro line to Nakano Broadway that was hard to see on a map, and plenty more little snippets that made our next two days a little easier.
Thanks to Abu again for his guidance on a great tour of Tokyo.Great day touring Tokyo with Abu

Gulay's tour was exactly what we needed! This was my first trip to Japan, along with my 10 year old son, and I was unsure about many things, from food to how to use the metro. Gulay met us at the hotel and answered all of my questions while also showing us some really great places. She customized our tour based on interests, really considering what my son would like, and was also flexible knowing that we were dealing with jet lag.
I had booked this tour for our first day in Japan and I couldn't be more grateful for the introduction Gulay provided about the culture, the areas around Tokyo and how to navigate getting around.
I highly recommend, especially for first time visitors to Japan!Amazing Introduction to Tokyo

From my first interaction with Gulay, I found her to be knowledgable and friendly.
She asked what I wanted my experience to be and game me all that and more.
She is fun, extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly.
The few hours we spent with her were really amazing.
She took us to less traveled places that only a local would know.
She taught us about the culture , habits and idiosyncrasies of the locals.
She was so helpful in recommending places to visit and restaurants.
Had the best day.

Our tour with Gulay was super informative, interesting, and fun. Ahead of our tour, Gulay was responsive and asked about any special needs and was flexible in adapting to a late change in our schedule. Our tour focused on Asakusa and Kappabashi starting at the beautiful Senso-ji Temple. We could have viewed it by ourselves but we would have missed so much! She explained a lot of the history and back story to how the Temple came to be there and all of the buildings that make up the whole complex including the gates, halls, five-storied pagoda, etc. She explained the stories depicted in the murals that we would have otherwise just walked past. She pointed out buildings of interest nearby and their story, then taking us down Nakamise-dori, a shopping street and then Kappabashi for knife and kitchen wares shopping which we wanted to go for great deals for gift shopping (I'm not a shopper otherwise). All this and she kept it moving and interesting, even giving us some locals treats. At the end, she helped guide us to getting to the baseball game after the tour. Gulay is awesome.Fantastic Tour with Gulay.

Abu is such a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. Abu really showed all sides of Asakusa and some other places, beginning with the market of the old city with some information about the city name and the market temples. After we got some popular and delicious local snacks which were totally not busy at the time. At the end Abu showed us the giant gaming and anime neighborhood of 10 story high game stores which was completely surreal. Abu was not in a hurry to finish the tour, on the contrary, he just wanted to show us all the places that we were interested in and took all the time to take us to there. We will definitely book Abu again if we come back!

We enjoyed it so much! Gulay is not just knowledgeable on Japanese culture and history, it is also very enjoyable and interesting to hear her talk about her experiences of living in Japan. Walking around the city with Gulay is just like visiting a friend in Tokyo who gives you a tour around the town and coincidentally knows a lot about the place. She also ha e us tips for other places: kimonos, a good ramen place, some Japanese films etc. We loved it! We will definitely book another tour with Gulay when we come back. Gulay is a great tour guide!

He walked us through food and entertainment areas, sharing tips, where to go, and what to avoid, always adding some helpful bit of information or a story as we went along. He showed us shopping areas and stayed with us as we bought some items and where to buy an umbrella we needed for the rain. He was a huge help as we bought our train tickets and planned the next 2 days of our trip. He’s a great guy and highly recommended. Abu Was AWESOME

Wow! Where do I even begin? Our family of four had an absolutely off-the-charts food tour with MD — this guy is a Tokyo street food sensei! Before we even set foot near the stalls, he made sure to check our dietary quirks and cravings so he could plan the ultimate feast. And let me tell you, he delivered!
Without him, we would’ve wandered in circles and missed every delicious hidden gem tucked away in those side alleys. MD guided us like a pro — patiently letting us poke around, feeding us tasty bites, sprinkling in fascinating "bites" of history, and even throwing in surprise stops at nearby sights.
Seriously, this tour was the highlight of our entire trip. We left full of food, fun facts, and big smiles. Book this experience — your taste buds will throw you a party and your travel memories will thank you forever!Amazing food experience!

We just completed a private tour with Kennedy this weekend, and it was fantastic. My wife and I are visiting Tokyo for a few days before starting a cruise around Japan, and we wanted to learn how to navigate the train system so we could explore on our own the next day. We also wanted to see some local favorites and hidden gems that we might not have found ourselves.
Kennedy met us right at our hotel (which was next to a train station), helped us set up Suica cards, and guided us on using the trains as we toured the city. Her suggested stops were wonderful, and her knowledge of the history and culture made each place even more memorable.
What really stood out was Kennedy’s warm personality and great conversation. We felt less like clients on a tour, and more like out-of-town friends being shown around by someone who truly loves Tokyo and wants you to love it too.
The next day, thanks to Kennedy’s help, we confidently put our new train skills to the test — making multiple transfers across different lines without getting lost.
If you’re visiting Tokyo, we highly recommend booking a day with Kennedy. And as a tip: if you’re an iPhone user, you can purchase a Suica card directly in your Apple Wallet — it worked perfectly for us! And Apple Maps will give you full directions using the trains and walking instructions. Super easy.

Gulay was a joy to spend our first jet lagged morning in Tokyo. Our kids are 10 and 12 years old and she made our 3 hour tour around Asakusa interesting and enjoyable for both the kids and the adults. She taught us how to pray at two different temples, gave us some history of the area, showed us the BEST foods to try (come hungry!) and continued to text great tips after our tour. I definitely recommend a tour with her towards the beginning of your stay. She was an absolute joy to be around too. Just the right amount of calm energy we were seeking with our jet lag. I would definitely recommend booking her and would love to see her again the next time we are in Tokyo. Amazing day in Asakusa - 2 kids/ 4 adults

We recently had the pleasure of joining a guided tour in Tokyo and was incredibly fortunate to have Abu as our guide. From the very beginning, their warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of Tokyo’s history and culture made the experience truly exceptional.
Abu was not only punctual and impeccably organized but also brought an infectious enthusiasm that kept us engaged throughout the tour. Whether we were navigating the vibrant streets of Shibuya, exploring the serene beauty of the Meiji Shrine, Abu provided fascinating historical insights and anecdotes that brought each location to life.
His language skills were excellent.
Thanks to Abu, we left Tokyo with a deeper appreciation of the city’s rich heritage and vibrant present. We wholeheartedly recommend Abu to anyone looking for an insightful, enjoyable, and memorable experience in Tokyo.Exceptional experience

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Tokyo with Gulay as our guide, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made for our trip. We hired her for two separate days, and each one was packed with an incredible mix of must-see tourist sites and hidden local gems that we never would have discovered on our own.
Gulay was extremely knowledgeable and clearly put a lot of thought and care into crafting an itinerary that suited our group perfectly. She struck a great balance between structure and spontaneity, always adapting to our pace and interests without ever making us feel rushed. Her easygoing personality made the days feel relaxed and enjoyable, and her flexibility ensured that everyone in our group — regardless of age — had a fantastic time.
If you're visiting Tokyo and want a personalized, engaging, and seamless experience, I can’t recommend Gulay enough. She made our time in Japan so much more meaningful and memorable!AMAZING Tour Guide
