A combined highlights with drinks & bites. Despite the hellish heat and my irksome personality, Sena cheerfully provided a wonderful relaxed tour, introducing places and tastes only a local would know. Our time at the saki bar and sushi restaurant will stay with me forever. A star!5 hours with Sena!

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

10 September 2025

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

In a short time, he showed us many interesting spots and answered all our questions about Tokyo – from how to get around the city to useful tips for the next few days. It was a great way to begin our trip and helped us feel more confident exploring on our own. Thanks again, Abu!A warm welcome to Tokyo

Kennedy took onboard everything we’d said when booking & took us to the Meiji Jingu shrine sharing with us so much about both the history (pointing out details we’ve seen in the other shrines/temples we’ve since visited) and etiquette of visiting shrines which has been hugely valuable. Great introduction to Temples

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 spent a great few hours with a friendly Abu. The communication prior to meeting was very good - he rearranged the meeting point to make it more convenient for us, along with suggesting a changed itinerary which provided us with a richer tour. We ate an enormous amount of food in the fish market! Come with an empty stomach… I’d thoroughly recommend him as a guide.Food tour with Abu

We LOVED our tours with Seden. She knew all of these out of the way spots with incredible food (we are foodies) and also helped us figure out how to use the local trains so we could get around more confidently. We saw art, architecture and got so many tips on local spots. Seden even helped make my daughter's 18th birthday unforgettable with helping us set up a shopping trip that was her dream come true. We got ALL the outfits for school in a style she loved. And had a hair appt. researched and set up set up by Seden. In other words, she goes above and beyond for her clients to help them experience Japan the way they are wanting and needing to. If you get to work with her, you are LUCKY! Thanks, Sed! 💕Seden is AMAZING!

Abu was a great guide, made our first full day in Tokyo a much better experience by explaining the history of the sights we were seeing and overall development of the area. 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

The food was excellent and from high-quality, authentic places.

We especially appreciated the small walking route through a local neighborhood with no other tourists. We definitely recommend joining a tour with Sena!Tasty Time with Sena

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!

During our food tour Sena was kind enough to show us some other stores that had items that our kids may have been interested in, and this was clearly beyond expectations. She also took a picture for us, and was conscious enough of the July heat in Japan to route us through air conditioned interior spaces whenever possible. We also got to experience some new food we've never tried before, located in narrow passageways we would have never found on our own. I would recommend her for anyone interested in a Tokyo food tour.Sena is a friendly, helpful guide

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.

Sena was amazing! Even before the tour she was getting to know our family through chat. Sena was very communicative and responsive. Even in the busy center of Shibuya, we easily found each other. Our tour was the 'Highlights & Hidden Gems of the Shibuya district' which stared off with a great spot to view the city then off to taste some of the cuisine before heading to the subway. We didn't have our IC cards set up so she was really helpful to get the whole family set up. It was a breeze to get from place to place. From there we had a great visit to a Shinto Shrine and off to see the Harajuku area. Not only was Sera amazing at speaking about each of the stops, she was really friendly to get to know us and tell us about her experiences. She eve helped d us with other spots for our vaction. If you are looking for a fun tour with a great guide, Sena is the best choice!Personalized Tour for Family from US
