Hi there! Nice to meet you

I have lived in Tokyo since 2016; through these years, I have developed a deep connection to this magnificent city. For me, Tokyo is a blend of efficiency, nature, fashion, gastronomy, history, and art. Walking through the streets of Tokyo has led me to discover the secrets and most unusual places, such as Ramen shops, Izakayas, Sushi restaurants, and the best and off the beaten path spots to enjoy the wonders and surprises Tokyo has to offer.

Join me on a private tour, o let me help you tailor a day in Tokyo, and make of your visit a memorable experience.

My suggestion: take a deep breath, slow down, and enjoy.

Era nuestra última experiencia en Tokyo tras una semana, buscábamos como siempre que utilizamos Withlocals, algo único adaptado a nuestros gustos y sabiendo que ya habíamos realizado las principales atracciones de la ciudad. Carlos se preocupó desde el primer momento en nuestro itinerario, modificando y preparando una experiencia única que nos encantó. Sus conocimientos de la historia, de la cultura y sus vivencias del día a día hicieron que fuera muy enriquecedor. 100% recomendable visitar Tokyo con CarlosExperiencia personal y única

We had a wonderful tour with Carlos. He was very personable and gave us a great introduction to the Shinjuku area. Welcoming intro to Shinjuku

We selected Tokyo history and Asskusa tour and had chosen Carlos based on favorite reviews on website. Also, our previous experience with same company in Kanazawa was a very positive one. However, unfortunately experience with Carlos was on the opposite side. He was barely engaged, shared very little and rather had to be prompted to share information. While walking streets in Asskusa said a little about the area just pointing out to some local business. Although tour supposed to last 3 hours he wanted to end it 30 min earlier and only after our questions “volunteered” to take subway with us in the direction we were going next anyway. Tokyo is a beautiful city and Carlis has a pleasant personality but as a personal tour guide he certainly failed to help us appreciate the Tokyo rich history and beauty.Disappointing experience want a refund

As a WithLocals tour guide myself in Mexico I was eager to take some tours with the hosts in Tokyo for my dream trip. Carlos curated an amazing walking tour of several neighborhoods to visit. I've dreamt of a trip to Japan since childhood, so I was looking to explore, see and learn the most I could about the culture, see the neighborhoods, and really immerse myself and be able to experience Japan from the view of a local. Carlos' tour was deeply experiential, emotional, thought provoking and just overall beautiful. We began visiting a cemetery to learn about history and spirituality, this began the tour with an in-depth perspective of deep rooted beliefs and practices, allowing us to connect to a spiritual-emotional level. We visited traditional quaint neighborhoods like a street that became famous because of the cats that lived there and learned that this was the origin of the Japanese waiving cat. There were so many interesting shops there. We saw art and visited the beautiful Ueno park, enjoyed talking, exploring and eating some delicious food and drinks at a traditional Izakaya. Carlos delivered the tour in Spanish for our group of Mexicans and Chileans and it was really interesting to receive his insight on what it is like living in Japan as a Mexican, how cultures mesh and seeing Japan from the view of a local. This tour will forever be in my memory and heart, of all the tours we took in Tokyo, this was by far the best because we got to really explore and experience Tokyo and it's neighborhood from the ground up. Carlos as a guide is just amazing, he's personable, kind, approachable and generous. Spending the day with him was simply enjoyable and the experiences he curated for us were creative, versatile and fun. The best tour I have taken EVER!!!The best tour EVER!

Carlos was such a pleasure to be with on this experience. He met us right on time at our hotel and off we went. Everything discussed in our chats was organized and delivered. Having lived in Japan for 9 years, he understood the history, culture and shared his knowledge in such a way, it will be with us for a lifetime. 10-Star on the experience... Same on his English... It was all we had hoped for. Our One Day Tokyo Experience

We really enjoyed our food tour with Carlos. He took us to a standing sushi restaurant and sake tasting. The sake tasting was a fun interactive experience. We experienced a part of Tokyo that we would not have experienced without him. Thank you, Carlos.Sake tasting was fun

We took two tours with Carlos both great, exactly what we were looking for. We had the opportunity to see more than just the tourist side, and Carlos was able to understand our interests and tailor the trip according to our wishes. Keep in mind that we have two teens in our group, so we wanted the tour to be interesting for everyone, regardless of age. We never felt rushed, and Carlos took the time to answer all our questions… trust me, there were a lot.Time in Tokyo
