Traveler reviews
Magical Trip
Masae was a wonderful tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative
Visiting Tokyo’s markets.
The whole experience is very well organised, informative, and a must do trip. It was really enjoyable at a steady pace, that absolutely anyone can do. Ken as a guide was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to, I would love to book more tours with him, a must do experience, it’s well worth trying. Thank you Ken for making it special.
Naoki was Excellent! Could not have had a better time!
Naoki was fantastic! He gave us so much personal attention, so many fun things like playing retro games, getting our fortunes told, a very nice and educational lunch. We not only learned a lot of interesting things but had a ball doing it! He had a notebook full of answers to frequently asked questions, and he continuously gave us tips on how and where to shop, eat, drink and be entertained. We would highly recommend him!
Shitamachi tour
Ended up as a solo attendant, but Jun was an amazing guy taking me to the must see spots on the eastern side of Tokyo in both cultural and gastro nature. Can only recommend!
An authentic introduction to Tokyo
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Ken as our guide. From the moment we met, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful—especially when it came to navigating Tokyo’s train system, which made a huge difference to our confidence getting around. Our tour began at the vibrant Tsukiji Outer Market, where Ken guided us through the maze of over 400 stalls. The atmosphere was electric, and thanks to his local knowledge, we got to try some amazing treats—including pink strawberry mochi, fresh tuna sashimi (which I loved, even if my husband gave it a miss!), and a delicious egg omelette on a stick. We then made our way to Akihabara, where Ken showed us the quirky and nostalgic side of Tokyo. The retro gaming museum was a real highlight—so much so that we’re now regretting throwing out our kids’ old Gameboys! Next stop was Sensō-ji in Asakusa, the oldest temple in Tokyo. Ken shared fascinating insights into its history and traditions, which really added depth to the experience. We finished the day with a traditional Japanese lunch, rounding out a perfect mix of culture, food, and fun. Ken truly made the day special. His passion for Tokyo, attention to detail, and ability to tailor the experience to us made it one of the highlights of our trip. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting an authentic and enjoyable introduction to Tokyo.
