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.

Abu was on time, and showed up with small trinkets for our daughter. We travelled with a 4 year old and Abu made sure she had fun and kept a pace she could handle. He also got a lot of great photos for us. Which was an added bonus but in reality was probably worth the cost of the entire tour.Great start to our trip

Gulay delivered an outstanding tour experience. She contacted us well in advance after booking to confirm details and ensure everything was aligned with our expectations. Her preparation left no room for error. On the day of the tour, she demonstrated deep knowledge of the city and its culture while adapting the itinerary seamlessly to our interests. The flow of the tour was natural, and every stop felt purposeful and engaging. She was easy to work with, highly professional, and genuinely attentive. Her ability to personalize the experience while keeping everything smooth and informative made this tour exceptional. I highly recommend her without reservation.Flawless and Insightful Tokyo Tour

As a WithLocals tour guide myself in Mexico I was eager to take some tours with the hosts in Tokyo for my dream trip. Carlos curated an amazing walking tour of several neighborhoods to visit. I've dreamt of a trip to Japan since childhood, so I was looking to explore, see and learn the most I could about the culture, see the neighborhoods, and really immerse myself and be able to experience Japan from the view of a local. Carlos' tour was deeply experiential, emotional, thought provoking and just overall beautiful. We began visiting a cemetery to learn about history and spirituality, this began the tour with an in-depth perspective of deep rooted beliefs and practices, allowing us to connect to a spiritual-emotional level. We visited traditional quaint neighborhoods like a street that became famous because of the cats that lived there and learned that this was the origin of the Japanese waiving cat. There were so many interesting shops there. We saw art and visited the beautiful Ueno park, enjoyed talking, exploring and eating some delicious food and drinks at a traditional Izakaya. Carlos delivered the tour in Spanish for our group of Mexicans and Chileans and it was really interesting to receive his insight on what it is like living in Japan as a Mexican, how cultures mesh and seeing Japan from the view of a local. This tour will forever be in my memory and heart, of all the tours we took in Tokyo, this was by far the best because we got to really explore and experience Tokyo and it's neighborhood from the ground up. Carlos as a guide is just amazing, he's personable, kind, approachable and generous. Spending the day with him was simply enjoyable and the experiences he curated for us were creative, versatile and fun. The best tour I have taken EVER!!!The best tour EVER!

Carlos was such a pleasure to be with on this experience. He met us right on time at our hotel and off we went. Everything discussed in our chats was organized and delivered. Having lived in Japan for 9 years, he understood the history, culture and shared his knowledge in such a way, it will be with us for a lifetime. 10-Star on the experience... Same on his English... It was all we had hoped for. Our One Day Tokyo Experience

Kennedy made sure Tokyo not only lived up to our pretty high expectations, but even surpassed it. We asked her to show us something not too touristy and let our teenage boys experience Tokyo. And boy did she deliver! From a fairly off-the-beaten track shrine (and guiding us how to behave appropriately in the shrine), to letting our boys live out their manga and anime expectations, we could not have asked for more. A fine and extremely articulate lady who knows how to deliver Tokyo beyond the stereotype. We would recommend booking Kennedy to let you experience Tokyo. Experience Tokyo with panache

Our experience with Gulay was absolutely phenomenal! We arrived in Tokyo a day before our planned itinerary, jetlagged and exhausted, simply wanting to get a feel for the city with the help of someone knowledgeable. From the moment we met her, Gulay exceeded all expectations—she adapted seamlessly to our small group’s needs, pacing the tour perfectly and ensuring we were comfortable every step of the way. Not only was she incredibly patient and kind, but she also went above and beyond, helping us sort out the rest of our trip with invaluable advice. The places she took us to were truly special—hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Thanks to her, our first day in Tokyo became a highlight of our journey, setting the perfect tone for the rest of our stay. We can’t recommend Gulay enough! If you're looking for an exceptional guide who combines deep knowledge with warmth and flexibility, she’s the one. A heartfelt thank you—we’ll always cherish this experience!A Perfect Introduction to Tokyo

This was our first visit to Japan. Gulay was so helpful in firstly communicating with us prior to our trip, and then providing an exceptional tour experience. Gulay was flexible in her approach, ensuring we took opportunities that arose as we walked. We wish we could take her with us for the remainder of our travels around Japan. Loved our time with Gulay.

Gulay led us on a thorough kickstart tour of Tokyo. We met at the Meiji Shrine and had a great intro to the history of Japan. Learned of Shinto and Buddhist customs. Walked to Harajuku and got snacks, shopped, and dropped in on an otter cafe experience which was great. Took the metro for one stop and walked through Shibuya, experiencing the crossing and Hachiko statue. Gulay helped acquaint us with the metro and JR lines, and gave us ideas for other sights to see in the upcoming days. Highly recommend!Great intro to Tokyo

I had the five-hour Tokyo tour with Alessandra last week, and Alessandra is just great! She is pleasant to speak with, knowledgeable, relaxed and at the same time put together a busy plan for a full-day tour. We got to see a lot and most importantly it was simply a really fun day out in Tokyo. Alessandra also gave me a lot of recommendations for things to do in my spare time. I couldn't recommend her more. Five hours Tokyo tour with Alessandra.

We had asked to see the non touristy side of the city as complete Japan novices and Carlos delivered. It was fascinating to hear his take on Japanese every day life and culture as a long term resident. We walked and talked and felt at the end we knew a lot more about the history of Tokyo and also about the way of life of the Japanese people. We went to an amazing soba restaurant for lunch which was was the icing on the cake. Just what we asked for

If you wanted a friend you never knew you had in Tokyo. Carlos is the one. Carlos was great and filled with knowledge of the area. So many places we would not have seen if it was not for Carlos and his grasp of the Tokyo culture. He made our first day in Tokyo memorable. Filled with sites and great memories. His food tasting tour was delicious and amazing. We tasted foods we would not think to eat and each one was better than the next. We did not feel rushed and his secret places were not crowded. He was a very good communicator and from the start you can tell he loved what he does as a tour guide. Thank you for the best introduction to the foods and sites of Tokyo. Cheers to our new friend in Tokyo…… Carlos 10

Gulay is the MOST INCREDIBLE guide! She strikes the perfect balance of teaching about history, culture, and religion, all sprinkled with fun interesting facts. Gulay knows so many cool hidden gems which you "stumble upon" as you go to the regular sites. Here's where she really stands above the rest, she literally reads your mind as to what you would like to see and do. Gulay collaborates with you to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. She also goes out of her way to teach you how to navigate Tokyo physically and culturally. She taught us how to use the public transportation system flawlessly and explained proper etiquette. With limited time in Tokyo we booked a 5 hour tour, she customized it perfectly to our tastes and interests. At the end of the tour she took time to discuss places and restaurants she thought we would enjoy exploring on our own, sent us links and gave us directions. She was extremely flexible during our day together and even took us on several short power shopping detours. She knows the best photo spots and took lots of pictures of us along the way. Gulay is kind, patient and sweet. Her English is 100% fluent. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A guided trip with Gulay will be a guaranteed highlight of your trip. Happy Travels!!!BEST GUIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!

This full day tour gave us very interesting glimpses of today modern Tokyo. However, we started with a visit to a Taoist shrine. Then in total contrast to that we visited a very hip fashion street. It was busy, hectic and colourful. From there we went on to a famous crossing their thousands of people passes every minute and had a monument of a very faithful famous dog. From there we took the train to an island with large new buildings. This was fascinating, not only for the architecture of the buildings on the islands, including the Fuji broadcasting building, but as well for the view of the skyline of central part of Tokyo. We really liked our guide Alessandra who really knew her city and still had a outside perspective since she had moved here from Brazil for a little less than ten years. She was also very kind and generous A fascinating tour with a good guide

We had ideas about what she wanted to see but she made some great suggestions for an even better day than I had in mind. She suggested things that would be more fun for the kids and kept us off the subway system as much as possible to maximize our time with her and actually seeing and doing things. She was full of tips for beating the heat, restaurants and shopping too. Couldn’t have asked for more. A great day with Gulay

My wife is an American artist. So I wanted to show her modern art museums which sprang up on Roppongi/Aoyama/Harajuku areas in recent years. But the areas are so much changed. I decided to hire a private guide. I chose Alexandra of withlocals.com. I explained briefly my need, based on which she did research and came up with an itinerary. That was it!

This trip to Tokyo was a high school graduation gift from my best friend and me to our teenage boys who have always been obsessed with everything Japanese. Gulay was an absolute gem as our tour guide in Tokyo! Her expertise and warm personality turned our visit into an unforgettable adventure. As Americans, we had no clue how to navigate the city by train, which is what I was most nervous about. We started out visiting some of her favorite spots in Shinjuku, but after listening to our boys, she handpicked specific spots they would enjoy in Shibuya and Harajuku. For me as a history teacher, the highlight was at the tranquil Meiji Shrine, where Gulay's deep knowledge of the shrine's history and customs added a rich layer to the serene surroundings. Her storytelling brought the past to life, making the experience both educational and enchanting. Later, we navigated the bustling energy of Shibuya Crossing with ease, thanks to Gulay's insider tips and fascinating anecdotes about the area. She effortlessly blended the traditional and modern aspects of Tokyo, giving us a well-rounded and immersive experience. Gulay's passion for Tokyo is contagious, and her ability to connect with everyone made the tour enjoyable for our whole group. We loved her so much, we hired her again for a different tour in a few days. If you're looking to explore Tokyo with a guide who is both knowledgeable and delightful, Gulay is the perfect choice! An absolute gem!

In addition to seeing tourist attractions, she showed us great places to shop and dine. She really made the tour about us and what we wanted to do. My husband had become ill during the tour and she even took us to the pharmacy to purchase medication. Would definitely recommend Gulay for your next tour of Tokyo. A Good Time in Tokyo

Joanne help me and my two pre-teen daughters have a great layover tour from Haneda Airport. She was very knowledgeable about the places we visited (Meiji Shrine, Shibuya crossing, basketball street, etc.), and had answers to questions that the kids asked. Joanne had a nice binder of pictures that she used to assist with her story telling, that I appreciated. She was great with the kids, even during the unplanned stop at a waffle shop. When we head back to Tokyo, we may book her again!

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

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!
