We had such a lovely time with Sena. She took us around Shibuya area for gyoza sushi and sake. My wife has food allergies and Sena checked with with us ahead of time to make sure we would not eat prohibited foods AND she confirmed with the restaurant the day of the tour which made us feel very comfortable and was appreciated. Sena was also wonderful and answered us many questions that we had about Tokyo. She also made herself available after the tour Perfect intro to Tokyo

Julisiana knows Tokyo and is willing to share the parts that interest YOU the most. By request, she took me to a park to see the blossoms and a temple in the Shibuya district. I gained cultural and historical insights I wouldn't have on my own. Spending the day in Tokyo with Juli was a wonderful way to start my trip!Accommodating, lovely guide!

Sena was a terrific guide and the tour was fantastic. We tried so many new dishes and Sena pointed out places of interest to our teenagers (vintage shopping) and gave us great tips for the rest of our visit to Tokyo (a restaurant where you catch your own fish for dinner). Even if you’ve tried lots of Japanese food before this is well worth the trip for local specialties and stories. Thanks for a brilliant day Sena. Brilliant tour and brilliant guide

Seden, truly made my family’s food tour memorable. She speaks perfect English and is fluent in both Japanese and the culture. She took the four of us on a food tour of what the locals like to eat versus the more common tourist traps. She also led us through a beautiful night stroll through a park. The walk was needed because to digest between all of the meals. Trust me, you need a huge appetite to finish off all the food. We didn’t even come close! The most unique meal was the hot table but my favourite was the sushi bar because of the setting and chefs omakase. If you love food, this tour is a must!Amazing guide and local food tour!

Seden was a fantastic guide for our first day in Tokyo. She was kind and thoughtful in helping us to manage our two very overtired boys. She found ways to interest them, give them breaks and answered all of their questions. She also helped us with some specific shopping recommendations, which was great. It was very interesting to hear about her career designing kimonos and her experiences of living and working in Japan. We thoroughly recommend Seden as a guide, she’s a delightful person and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much!!Wonderful Guide

Seden treated us to many interesting food experiences in Kichijoji. This is a fun area that locals frequent. We would have never visited this area had it not been for our tour. The food was great and Seden made it fun with many facts about the area and the food we were sampling. This was one of the highlights of our visit to Tokyo.Great time sampling great food in Tokyo.

We wanted to book a food tour to get to understand the local culture as one of the first things on our three-week trip to Japan, and Seden was the absolute perfect guide. From the moment we met her, she was so kind and explained everything thoroughly. We learned about an area we wouldn’t have had a chance to explore on our own, and got the true local experience. She took us to so many incredible spots and made sure that we got to try a little bit of everything, while explaining the local traditions and even some Japanese history. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Seden more, it’s a must-do for anyone coming to Japan!!!The best welcome to Japan!

Sena guided my daughter and myself in Shibuya and the nearby area. She has every quality anyone would want in a guide. Sena has vast knowledge of Japan and its largest city. Her understanding of westerners and english is amazing. She seamlessly can walk, listen, comprehend completely, always being intuitive, smile, laugh and guide us through crowds like the true pro that she is. Sena can relate with an older man and young adult woman at the same time. If you are considering a guide while in Tokyo, Sena is simply the very best.Best Guide in Tokyo

We had the absolute pleasure of spending three unforgettable hours with Selen as our guide in Tokyo. The time flew by, and it felt less like a tour and more like catching up with an old friend. Selen was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable, bringing Tokyo to life for us in such a unique and personal way. Her stories, insights, and humor made the experience not only educational but also genuinely enjoyable. Thanks to her warm personality and deep connection to the city, we left with a greater appreciation for Tokyo and some truly wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a guide who makes you feel at home while exploring a fascinating city, Selen is the perfect choice! Thank you, Selen, for such a special day!An absolute pleasure

Seden greatly exceeded my expectations on our recent food tour in Kichijoji. Her company was delightful and her knowledge of the local food scene was extensive. I was impressed that she wasn't just ordering food for me, but taking the time to speak with the various chefs/staff to determine what was best for me. Her Japanese was flawless. We also got to take a break with a nice stroll to the temple in lovely Inokashira Park. If you're considering a food tour, don't think twice about booking with Seden. You will not be disappointed!

Had an amazing time with Sena during a quick layover in Tokyo. She planned a perfect mid-day tour that included a beautiful walk to a temple and park, some awesome shopping and an incredible omakase lunch that I am still dreaming about. She got us to our train on time and maximized every minute we had together. Sena is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, great conversationalist and overall super person to spend time with—I’m excited to plan my next trip to Japan and hire her again for a much longer tour.Awesome Layover Tour

Our multigenerational group all enjoyed our tour with Sena. She was very knowledgeable about the various foods we ate (all delicious) but also answered all our many questions (it was our second day in Tokyo) and had suggestions as well. We probably wouldn't have found this particular area of Tokyo by ourselves, but felt we experienced a little bit of local life. We all really enjoyed just having our family on the tour- it was personal and engaging, iwht time for detours for things that interested us Great flexible family tour

We did a night tour with Sena and had an absolute blast. She took us a to a number of bars we never would have found without local knowledge. She also got us into one bar that I had desperately tried to get a reservation at prior to our trip (it books out weeks in advance). The added benefit of booking a tour with Sena is that she is not only knowledgable but also incredibly fun to spend time with. She also went out of her way after the tour to send me recommendations for places to go shopping. I would highly recommend her for anyone visiting Tokyo.Great night out in Tokyo

He was very friendly and informative. He took us to two wonderful establishments to eat during our 5 hour private tour. He showed us how to use the train lines. Helped us buy our bullet train tickets for our next destination. He went above and beyond. We highly recommend him for your Tokyo tour!!! Carlos was a fantastc guide!

Dear Sena-San, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful private tour you provided. Your knowledge and calm demeanor made navigating the bustling Shibuya crossing feel like a leisurely stroll in the park. As a solo traveler, I was eager to delve deeper into Japanese culture and society. You were an excellent listener, quickly understanding my interests and tailoring the tour to my personal preferences. I especially appreciated that you steered us away from the typical tourist hotspots, focusing instead on my interest in history, fashion, and cultural elements that I was most curious about. Our time together felt like a walk with a new friend in her hometown. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and I learned so much. The fiery (perhaps a bit too hot) vegetarian ramen at the end was a perfect way to cap off the experience. however I will definitely be returning to that restaurant on my next visit. I highly recommend your services to anyone seeking a personalized and insightful tour of Japan. When I return with my family, I won't hesitate to book another tour with you. Thank you again for a truly memorable experience. With warm regards, Benita F. Brooklyn, NYLovely guide Sena

I had never discovered a big city with a guide but somehow Tokyo is quite impressive so I decided the same day to go for a guided tour in Shibuya. That was just amazing since Julisiana has a deep knowledge of the area and she is really able to make you feel as a local. I highly recommend her and this tour. Wonderful

My wife and I did the street tasting tour and had a great time. Not only did we get to sample several local treats, but Sena also immersed us in local culture. It was fascinating and fun! It also got us out of central Tokyo to a non-touristy neighbourhood with local flavour. Getting there was via an extremely easy-to -navigate train ride from Shinjuku station. Sena is super friendly and personable. She speaks English as if it is her native language as she went to university in the USA. An excellent and thoroughly enjoyable tour

Our "10 Tastings of Tokyo" with Sena was all we had hoped for… and more! We couldn’t have been more pleased. With her excellent knowledge and experience in the area, we tasted wonderful and varied foods of Tokyo, from savory to sweet. We even visited a conveyor-belt-style sushi restaurant—high on our list of "must try’s!" Sena speaks very good English and is a delight! We learned a lot about Japanese culture and she even helped us download a SUICA card which has enabled us to easily use the subway, taxis and vending machines and to pay for many other purchases. This tour was a perfect introduction to Tokyo and Japan. This was a definite highlight of our trip! We highly recommend it!Couldn’t be Better!
