We had such a wonderful time with Sebastian. He had so much knowledge about each stop and created the best schedule to avoid the crowds and make the best use of the time. The meals we had were really special and highlighted local ingredients for super reasonable prices. I would highly recommend him as a guide.

Great walk through Asakusa
Sheilina did a great job touring us around the Asakusa. She pointed out unique shops along the way and made time for us to pick up souvenirs. The tour gave good background on Tokyo and the different temples we visited. Would highly recommend a tour with Sheilina when visiting Tokyo.

Great tour for history and culture
Our family of 4 (kids are 10&12) had a great walk with Shohei. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and the Japanese culture, and even the kids stayed engaged. We really enjoyed seeing the temples and historical parts of town. We love tours with the WithLocals guides and our tour with Shohei was no exception. Our snack stop for matcha 🍵 cappuccinos and mochi was delicious. Thanks 🙏 for a wonderful experience!

We had an amazing experience with Gulay as our guide in Tokyo! She shared so many fascinating facts and interesting insights that made our tour truly special. The places she took us to were real hidden gems and unique spots we wouldn’t have found on our own.
Gulay was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the start and gave us a lot of helpful tips. Her passion and knowledge made the tour very fun and insightful. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Tokyo!
