Kader was really personable and nice; also punctual. Spoke very good English. The tour was ok—observation tower was cool but the Sankeien garden was a bust. way way too far to go on public transport (45 minutes each way ) and the garden was not well maintained—-just blah. Suggest skipping this long slog and going to Chinatown, gondolas and the amazing sushi restaurant we ended up at. We Uber’ed back to town because the bus took up the entire tour window, that cost us $35USD. He is amazing but do your homework and customize and stay downtown instead of the long slog. Fun but oh so hot

Sheilina was in contact with us a few days prior to the tour, and again from the time we got off our train in Yokohama. She ensured we found our way to Landmark Tower to meet her, and greeted us with a bright smile and welcomed us to Yokohama. She customized our tour for us, since we didn't want to walk as much in the humidity and heat. We started the tour by taking the elevator up to the observation deck of the Landmark Tower, wrote our wishes for Tanabata Festival on colorful strips of paper, and stopped for blue swirled ice cream at the snack area. Then we took the Akaikutsu bus to the famous Red Brick Warehouse where we shopped and had a light snack. Our next stop was vibrant Yokohama Chinatown where we walked around and had dim sum at a restaurant she recommended. The crispy roast pork was the best we have ever had, and the variety of dim sum we tried was delicious! After lunch, Sheilina took us to a beautiful temple where we took many beautiful photos. I told Sheilina I wanted to buy some Japanese beauty products, so she took us shopping in a local drug store and recommended some of her favorite products. We really appreciated the personalized tour and how she paid attention to our individual needs, and kept it to a pace that was comfortable for us. We highly recommend Sheilina for any of your sightseeing needs. Next time we are in Japan, we will definitely book more tours with Sheilina. She was the absolute BEST!! : )1st Class Tour w/Sheilina : )

Sheilina did a great job touring us around the Asakusa. She pointed out unique shops along the way and made time for us to pick up souvenirs. The tour gave good background on Tokyo and the different temples we visited. Would highly recommend a tour with Sheilina when visiting Tokyo.Great walk through Asakusa

Our host Sheilina was amazing! Friendly, helpful, accommodating, and very relaxed in explaining everything about the history of the area and temple. All of this in cold and windy weather, which could not dampen our day and experience. Great day tour!

Sheilina is definitely a 5 star guide! Enjoyed a fabulous walking tour with her in the Asakusa area and Sensoji Temple. Her knowledge of historical info and cultural insights were greatly appreciated. It was special to see the traditional Edo period architecture and speciality stores on the many side streets we explored. Lots of fun sampling various local delicacies from the Asakusa area and getting shopping tips too! She made it a wonderful and enjoyable experience even on a rainy day. Sheilina also has great sightseeing suggestions for other areas like Kamakura. We visited there and saw beautiful shrines which were even more impressive than Tokyo. Lots of interesting eateries, scenic parks and local shops. It was easy to get there on the train from Shibuya Station. I actually preferred Kamakura to Tokyo for sightseeing.Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly guide
