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.

Loved our time with Gulay.
This was our first visit to Japan. Gulay was so helpful in firstly communicating with us prior to our trip, and then providing an exceptional tour experience. Gulay was flexible in her approach, ensuring we took opportunities that arose as we walked. We wish we could take her with us for the remainder of our travels around Japan.

Great start to our Japan Trip
My husband and I had a great tour with Joanne! She did a great job of combining the new with the old of Tokyo and taking us to places we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. Would highly recommend anyone to book a tour with her!

Great tour in Shibuya
Sheilina did a great job with our tour. She’s knowledgeable, good natured and fun. We ate great Ramen, shopped, sampled pasties and even saw a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony being held in a beautiful park. We highly recommend Sheilina for a tour and great insights into Tokyo.
Thank you!

Don’t miss a chance to walk with Gulay!
Gulay was a total gem. She customized a tour that completely fit out interests, desired pace, and attention spans. She has so much to share about her experience in Tokyo and what makes Japan special. Allow her surprise you with some angles and quirks of the city and her creativity will inspire! 10/10!

Like touring around with an old friend!
Sena was so wonderful! She really listened to what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour so that we were able to see and do it all. We loved learning about all about Japanese culture from food to history. We went to some great spots we would have never found on our own! Cannot recommend Sena enough!
