Kyoto Guide

My family and I really enjoyed our tour with Laura. We had so many questions and were full of excitement and Laura’s knowledge and comprehensive narrative were impressive. Kyoto has so much to offer and we were blown away by the beauty of the city and the history behind it. Highly recommended!

Tokyo Guide

Malissa was our guide and showed us everything we had to see in Tokyo and Shinjuku, especially hidden gems that helped us experience authentic Japanese local experiences! […] It was such a valuable experience as it was our first time in Japan and it helped us navigate through the neighborhoods of Shinjuku! This tour is a must do for your first time in Tokyo!

Kyoto Guide

“Shaye was awesome! It was so helpful having someone to take us around to different spots in Kyoto. It saved us so much time and allowed us to get more background on the locations. Shaye and I also traded skin care tips and I left Japan with several of her product recommendations.”

Amir

Tokyo Guide

“We had a wonderful time exploring Tokyo with our guide Amir. He was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who is passionate about Tokyo and Japan. Amir created a perfect itinerary for us as first-time visitors to Japan and took the time to answer all of our questions. We got to see very unique and interesting parts of the city that we never would’ve found on our own. I would highly recommend this experience!”

Leon

Tokyo Guide

“Our Tokyo tour with Leon was absolutely fantastic! His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions.”
