What an incredible day exploring Tokyo with Apy! She's the kind of guide that makes you feel like you're exploring the city with a close friend rather than being on a tour. Our 4-hour adventure took us through some of Tokyo's most fascinating spots, including the magnificent Meiji Shrine, the trendy Takeshita Street in Harajuku, and the bustling Shibuya district with its famous crossing and incredible shopping. Apy’s knowledge was impressive, but what really made the tour special was her warm personality and how she shared interesting stories and cultural insights in such a natural, engaging way. If you're looking for a Tokyo walking tour that feels more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend, you can't go wrong with Apy as your guide!

Tomomi was excellent. She communicated with us even from a few weeks before leaving, verified that we arrived, and kept us informed until we met. She really introduced a different side of Tokyo and its history. Loved the matcha tea house. She took pictures for us and got it to me asap. She was quite lovely . We will be back. I highly recommend her. Thank you Tomo!

Mari was so lovely and funny! We loved spending time with her. As a tour guide, she let us customise the tour to our liking, and took us places we never would have thought to go on our own! This is one of the best tours I’ve ever been on.

Alberto took us all over the city and knew great locations to see Tokyo with a view! We highly recommend Alberto. He is so knowledgeable and has lived in Japan for 30 years.
