I’d made a mistake scheduling with the 24hr clock so Fumiko was in our lobby ready to head out at 8am. Naturally we weren’t quite prepared for a tour at that hour so Fumiko was very flexible and accommodating to reschedule for later the same day. Once we finally headed out on the tour Fumiko took us to a handful of spots where we could sample traditional Japanese street food. Word of advice - pace yourselves at each spot otherwise you will fill up FAST! It was a wonderful experience and Fumiko was a joy to spend time with. Would do it again. 10/10

Fumiko, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible in designing a tour that met our expectations. We got off the tourist beaten path visiting some charming older neighbourhoods along with some iconic places. Fumiko had excellent English communication skills. We covered a lot of ground in a way that did not feel rushed.

Yumiko was absolutely great! She took to me various points in the city, explaining the history and culture and was so knowledgeable. What I also loved was that she took me off the beaten path and showed me charming neighborhoods with traditional old houses in an area that had so many hip, unique stores and restaurants. Great experience highly recommend her.
