I am a Tour Guide
Hey there! I'm Amir, your spirited and adventurous host in the vibrant streets of Tokyo. Exploring Tokyo is like uncovering a treasure trove of experiences. I love seeking out the hidden corners of the city, from serene temples tucked away in bustling neighborhoods to tranquil onsens and spas that offer a slice of serenity amidst the urban landscape. As a local host, I'm well-versed in navigating the energetic streets of Shinjuku, the innovative spirit of Odaiba, the trendy pulse of Harajuku, and the historical allure of Asakusa and Sensoji. My special forte? Biking through Tokyo's streets! It's the best way to feel the city's heartbeat. Plus, I've got the insider scoop on the most beautiful parks, spiritually enriching temples, and, of course, the hidden gem restaurants that are local favorites – tasty and affordable! So, are you ready to dive into Tokyo with me? Let's embark on a journey that's as exciting as it is enlightening!

Emir was an awesome tour guide! I came here on a solo trip with nothing planned at all, I decided to book a personal tour guide on Trip Advisor and it was one of the best things I've done to kick start the trip! Amir was a wealth of knowledge, having lived here for numerous years, showed me lots of 'hidden gem's' I would never of found on my own and he was one of the nicest person I've ever met! I thoroughly enjoyed my tour around Tokyo... I'd book again without hesitation!

Fantastic afternoon with Amir! We can 100% recommend this tour! Amir not only took us to the main attractions in Shibuya but also introduced us to many hidden gems we would have never found on our own. It was the perfect mix of buzzing neighborhoods, culture, history, and nature – yes, he even showed us a great spot to see the cherry blossoms! Amir was an outstanding guide—friendly, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tokyo. He was also very flexible and making sure we had an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Amir, for an amazing afternoon!

He tailored the tour to our interests, ensuring a perfect balance of culture, history, and hidden gems we would never have discovered on our own. Amir has an amazing ability to make complex historical and cultural topics easy to understand and truly fascinating. He took us to both iconic landmarks and local favorites, giving us a deeper appreciation of the city and its rich culture. Additionally, he was always attentive to our needs, making the day both relaxing and informative. If you’re looking for a guide who can provide a unique and personalized experience in Tokyo, we highly recommend Amir. We couldn’t have been more satisfied!
