We had a great day on our private tour in Tokyo. Gordon went above and beyond as a guide. Showed as a good time around Nakano and Koenji. Was fascinating meeting local Japanese and seeing a different side of Tokyo. Would love to do same with Gordon on my next trip.

We had an absolutely fantastic guided tour of Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo with our guide, Hiroki. From the moment we met him, Hiroki was incredibly friendly, polite and welcoming. He was extremely knowledgeable, not only about the market and the local area, but also about Japan in general. He gave us a really interesting insight into Japanese culture, traditions and everyday life, which made the experience so much more than just a tour of the market. Hiroki also took us to some amazing food stalls that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and the food was absolutely incredible! He had some great recommendations and really helped us experience Tsukiji like locals rather than simply visiting as tourists. What really stood out was how much Hiroki genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. He went above and beyond throughout the tour, was happy to answer all our questions, and made the whole experience relaxed, enjoyable and memorable. If you’re visiting Tokyo and considering a tour of Tsukiji Fish Market, I would highly recommend booking with Hiroki. He’s a fantastic guide, a genuinely lovely person, and definitely helped make our time in Tokyo even more special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
