Things To Do In A Weekend in Tokyo

Our tour with Gulay was the perfect way to kick off our time in Tokyo. From the moment we met her, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable she is—not just about the city, but also about helping visitors truly experience it. We were a group of 8, and she managed the size effortlessly, making sure everyone felt included and engaged. Her warmth and enthusiasm made it easy to ask questions, and she always had thoughtful insights and fun facts to share. Gulay’s excitement was infectious, and her thoughtful pacing allowed us to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. We left the tour not only with a deeper understanding of Sensoji Temple & Asakusa District but also with a real appreciation for the culture and people—all thanks to Gulay. Highly recommend booking with her if you're visiting the city!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of taking The History of Tokyo: Sensoji Temple & Asakusa District Tour with Gulay, and it was hands down one of the most memorable parts of our Japan trip! From the very beginning, Gulay was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She guided us through the fascinating history of Sensoji Temple and the Asakusa district with such passion and detail—it felt like walking through the past with a close friend who just happens to be a historian. What made the experience truly unforgettable was how personal and thoughtful she made it. Gulay even took us to a traditional Japanese knife shop tucked away in the district, where I was able to purchase an authentic Japanese knife engraved with my name—a one-of-a-kind souvenir that I’ll treasure forever. She also shared insights on local customs, helped us participate in temple rituals, and pointed out hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Her recommendations for food, shops, and cultural tips were spot on and really enriched our stay in Tokyo. Highly, highly recommended!

I was travelling with my father (77) and my sons (17 and 20). On our first day in Japan, we took the Sensoji Temple & Asakusa tour with Gulay. The 4 of us were very satisfied with this experience.

Sedan is a wonderful host and guide! She not only shared her knowledge about the neighborhood, temples and shrines - but also provided a detailed history of Tokyo and Japan. She’s very knowledgeable, well spoken, patient and generous with her time. When we share that we have specific dietary restrictions (Halal), she prepared a list of restaurants nearby that would accommodate us. She even spoke to street vendors and restaurants during the tour to ask about their ingredients and cooking practices before we purchased anything. She’s very kind and thoughtful. Touring Tokyo with Sedan felt like visiting our family or friend. I highly recommend her when you visit Japan!
