A full day in Tokyo!

Heather_B, Jul 2023

Seizo was wonderful. We only had one day in Tokyo, and he aptly navigated the sister for my two young daughters and I to learn and see so much. The children are 8y and 6y old, and Seizo was flexible to take a break to cool off or have a snack as needed. It was a full day from 9am-4pm, and we left loving Tokyo! Thank you, Seizo

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you very much for your valuable and favorable comments on my guiding. It was a great honor for me to have the opportunity to guide you in Tokyo. I myself enjoyed visiting popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo including Tsukiji Fish Market where we could enjoy delicious Sushi. I wish you and your daughters the very best for the future. Best Regards Seizo Kamiuto

Fantastic and informative

Scott_B, Jul 2023

Guide who serviced us had...

dimilili1948, Apr 2023

Guide who serviced us had bad experience, poor English and not much knowledge. He was like an escort and what we saw it was Tokyo subways system

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your review! As your guide has previously had great reviews from customers, we would like to know more about what happened on this tour. Please feel free to message us directly. We also understand your concerns about transportation. While Japanese are accustomed to travel time, this can be quite shocking to those that visit. We will make sure the guide keep this in mind. Thank you and we hope you had a lovely time in Japan!　JGA Customer Support

Mariko was great. She...

William_B, Apr 2023

Mariko was great. She communicated with us prior to meeting which was helpful too and met us at the hotel on time to show us around. I would say that as a first timer try to fingers out best what you want to really visit we winged most of the places and between train rides and lunch it can eat into your time in places. But it was a great time exploring and would recommend it, Thanks

Response from Host, Apr 2023

It was my pleasure to guide all of you You are always nice to me too We were lucky that we could see Japanese traditional wedding marching in Meiji shrine I can tell you love your wife so much and take care of her kindly I wish your happiness will continue now and forever Thank you very much

All around Tokyo

Carla_H, Apr 2023

We had an AMAZING day with our tour guide Kei! He was SUPER knowledgeable, patient, and understanding with us. We have family members with specific dietary restrictions and he helped us find delicious Ramen we could ALL eat! He was also flexible with our itinerary and gave us a FULL 6hr tour. Don't hesitate with booking this tour Tokyo is soo amazing ! P.s. don't wear band new shoes on this tour. You walk A LOT and your feet will be screaming if your shoes aren't comfortable.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much for your comment with praises. I am glad to hear from you and to know how you felt about our tour. Although the tour might require you to walk more than you would in your daily life, I witnessed that you have seen a lot and made the most out of the tour within a limited time of 6 hours. I appreciate that you have proved “Tokyo is walkable” by using public transportation efficiently and effectively.

Aba_K, Apr 2023

Our tour guide was very nice but not experienced enough as a guide. Quite soft spoken and it was at times difficult to hear him though his English was quite clear. We wanted more history and insight on Japan and we didn’t have that. For the cost of the tour, we could have done much better.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your review! We will make sure that the guide is more outspoken for other tours. If you ever have trouble hearing or would like more information from one of our guides, please feel free to ask. Your helpful feedback will help our guides to grow.

Our guide Krissan was...

Ninad_D, Apr 2023

Our guide Krissan was very friendly, patient and spent a lot of time with us without us feeling rushed. He showed us lot of places in this beautiful city and was knowledgeable, shared with us history of each place. We turkey enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend him

Response from Host, Apr 2023

I deeply appreciate your warmer review on our tour. I hope you will visit Japan near future and meet in Kansai area along the Hankyu Railway.

Cherry blossom walk 6h day tour

Lan_N, Apr 2023

We had the best time for this day tour of Tokyo blossom with TAKA our tour guide. Taka was great to us especially with our teenagers-twins and our 11 year old son on a long walking tour. He was very thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. Taka took us to Imperial palace, Chidorigafuchi Green Street Cherry Blossom and most memorable was the Chidorigafuchi Boat Ride which was so fun though we were all reluctant at first and so glad we did. We definitely recommend this day tour and if you are lucky you will get Taka to be your guide. Thank You Taka for a wonderful time and for an amazing experience of Tokyo at its best.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your great words which are far exceeding my expectations. Someday, I would like to take you to Hakone where is famous for hot springs - Onsen.

Completely worth it

Amanda_W, Mar 2023

We're so glad we did this tour, it was an absolutely beautiful experience. Great communication and planning from our amazing guide Kei ☺️ We told him which places were a priority for us and he worked out the plan. His English was phenomenal, his local knowledge, patience and kind manner with our young children made for a spectacular day. We didn't feel rushed, but he kept us roughly to schedule but was happy to adapt. So glad he insisted we see Ueno Park because the cherry blossoms were amazing!! Cannot thank him enough for a great day, would highly recommend. Not our first time in Tokyo, but definitely experienced it in a new way and got to try things we couldn't last time as it removed the language barrier and was lovely to have the insider/local perspective.

Great time.

Sira_G, Dec 2022

Our guide was wonderful. My son is 6 and our guide took that into consideration and took us to sights that my son would be interested in. The guide had great knowledge of the city and sights we visited. Had a great lunch eating Japanese style Pizza that was perfect for my son and new experience for me.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for your kind review sent to Tripadviser. I am really glad to hear that you and your son had a pleasant time together and enjoyed trying a Japanese style pizza (okonomi-yaki). The pleasure is rather mine. I guess you are still on a journey, so I sincerely hope you can continue to have a good time with your loving son. Best wishes, Hideki
