Amazing time in Tokyo!!
Seden is fantastic! She took us to some amazing, low-cost, and local places. We tried all sorts of foods. This is my second experience with WithLocals, and I could not recommend this more.

Great food tour!
We had a wonderful food tour with Sena! First of all, it was fun to be outside of central Tokyo and away from a touristy area. We enjoyed all of the different types of food she shared with us from sushi and gyoza to a seasonal treat of cherry blossom mochi. Everything was delicious! Thank you for a lovely tour.

Engaging & Enjoyable
Sheilina custom built a tour for us and made it very memorable for my daughter with the Japanese traditional dress. She covered the most important places, best eatries & of course narrated historical stories. Our family throughly enjoyed the tour.

Very thoughtful tour
We had a great time with Kennedy today. Ahead of time, I told her a few things we wanted to see and she put together a great tour for us and took the extra time to talk us through using the train system and buying tickets, which was very helpful for the rest of our trip. I would definitely recommend a tour with Kennedy!

Amazing Day
We had an amazing day with Gulay. She showed us some of the hidden gems of Tokyo as well as the popular attractions. She tailored the tour to our interests. And checked in often to determine if we were satisfied with the content of the tour which we appreciated. Gulay is a charming host and knowledgeable professional!

Wonderful Tour with Sheilina
My family had a great time with Sheilina. She was extremely knowledgeable and knew what my kids would like and understand! She showed us the best shops and restaurants, explained the history of the area and was lovely to spend time with. The Asakusa tour included everything we hoped to see. I highly recommend this tour with Sheilina!

Gulay was amazing
Gulay was such a great guide. Adapted our day to suit all 6 in our group and packed such a variety of sights into our 5 hours. Great knowledge on Japanese culture and history… and left us with lots of tips for local eating and vintage shopping. Such a pleasure to meet such an amazing lady. I would highly recommend you taking her tours.

First day must in Tokyo
What a delightful day we spent with Gulay. Anyone I encounter who asks me about Tokyo recommendations, I won’t talk to them until they agree to reach out to her. She knows her stuff, cares about your specific interests and is charming. We learned so much about the culture, how to get around and insider tips. Thank goodness for her.
