Sheilina custom built a tour for us and made it very memorable for my daughter with the Japanese traditional dress. She covered the most important places, best eatries & of course narrated historical stories. Our family throughly enjoyed the tour.

Great guide and highly recommended!
We have done Withlocals tours and many Asian countries and enjoyed them all! It’s the best way to see the area and you do it at your own pace and can change up the itinerary if needed. Joanne was one of the best we have ever had. She had a sign so we could find her easily- that was a first. She had visuals in her notebook and she really explained things in detail, but not overly so to bore you. You won’t go wrong on a tour with Joanne!

Unforgettable Tokyo-Tour with Sheilina
Our tour through Japan turned into a truly tremendous adventure — all thanks to the one and only Sheilina! From the very first moment, she radiated an friendly, warm energy that immediately made us feel welcome and incredibly well taken care of.
Sheilina was the embodiment of attentiveness, kindness, and genuine care. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Her helpfulness knew no bounds, her sense of humor was absolutely delightful, and she always had our happiness at heart. It was crystal clear that she wanted nothing but the absolute best for us, and she worked with true dedication to ensure our satisfaction at every step.
One moment that deeply moved us: even before the tour officially started, Sheilina went out of her way to stand in line at the incredibly popular donut shop “I am Donut” — just to bring us a treat from one of the most sought-after spots in town. That act of thoughtfulness truly touched us.
We are endlessly grateful to Sheilina for her warmth, her loving energy, and for turning this tour into something truly magical. With her caring heart and sparkling personality, she gave us an experience we will never forget.

Very thoughtful tour
We had a great time with Kennedy today. Ahead of time, I told her a few things we wanted to see and she put together a great tour for us and took the extra time to talk us through using the train system and buying tickets, which was very helpful for the rest of our trip. I would definitely recommend a tour with Kennedy!
