Kind and lovely day with Ai!
We had a good adventure from Ai to show us around and telling us everything we asked and wondered about. We loved to know more of the culture and history! Ai also showed us many places that we wanted to go and see. She also got us a taxi at the end. Ai is kind and wonderful person in all ways! We enjoyed our time greatly. Thank you again for amazing memories! <3

A Friend in Tokyo
Walking around with Sena is not walking around with a tour guide, but walking around with a friend. She’s kind, informative, funny, and easy to talk to. Her English is excellent and she was more than willing to help us sharpen are Japanese. A true highlight of our trip!

Just a Perfect Introduction
Joanne was great, relaxed and easy going no rushing around. We came armed with a few questions but were very happy to go along with the flow. We'll probably be going back to Japan next year and will be looking forward to another tour with Joanne, praise indeed.

Great guide, great time
Great experience seeing East Tokyo with lots of insider info. (I particularly loved the sashimi donburi place he pointed me to for lunch.)
