What travelers think of this experience

Julia Mar 2025

Two days ago, we went on a walking city tour with Chiara. Despite the heavy rain, she made the experience truly exceptional. We managed to complete our list of things we wanted to see and even added some suggestions from Chiara along the way. She is professional, fun, and an all-around wonderful person. Book a day tour with her now; you won’t regret it.

Alberto was amazingly engaging, knowledgeable and patient. He had thoughtfully planned our route to enable my mother who is in a wheelchair to fully participate and see all the sights. He was clever in the way he showed us Tokyo from terraces as well as from ground level. He was attentive and offered to take many photos! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him!

Chiara Mischke met us at our hotel and it was pouring rain. We made the best of it, and were able to do everything on our list, and mush more. She geared our day around our interests and added some cool things along the way. I highly recommend having Chiara as your tour guide; you won't be disappointed!

Marek was so helpful, informative, and easy to talk to. This tour was a fantastic way to spend our first day in Tokyo. We covered a lot of ground, learned how to navigate the subway lines, and experienced things we would never have done on our own. Highly recommend!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Absolutely! Whether you want a blend of food, history, local culture, or nightlife, your host will seamlessly weave them together into one immersive experience.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
