Wonderful day around Tokyo with Gulay
My son and I along with our friends had a wonderful time with Gulay exploring Tokyo. Helped us understand the nuances of the areas and showed us a lot. Also provided us some ideas for rest of trip which was helpful. Also able to get us last minute entrance to a MiniPig cafe which was Awesome.

Very accommodating!
Seden was great. We had a family group from 7 to 70+ with varying ability levels. She tailored the tour to our needs, and it made the tour that much more enjoyable. We loved the custom-made Cola! She was so patient and answered all of our questions. We would definitely recommend her.

Great passionate kimono designer
We had the best time with Seden. She was incredibly helpful with all kinds of information which gave us a great start in Japan. She speaks japanese and perfect english which was important. She explains japanese history, culture and customs incredible well and is also a very warm and comfortable guide to be with. Can highly recommend!

Abu Was AWESOME
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.
