Tomo was an incredible guide and she made our experience so special. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing experience in Japan.

I booked private Cherry Blossoms Tour in Tokyo just before the main sakura trees started to bloom. Tomo communicated with me before the trip to discuss my wishes and possibilities. I really enjoyed the time spent with her walking through the nice blooming spots and having a picnic under the trees with a view of the cherry blossoms. She did the best to to meet my expectations.

Deeply knowledgeable, and extremely pleasant. It felt like i was going for an edifying walk with an old friend

I had a 10 hour layover at NRT and wanted to get some air and see a bit of Tokyo. Logistically, after the hour it took to go through immigration and customs and the 1.5 hour train ride into Tokyo, a 3-hour tour was the max amount of time that I had, and Lauren helped me to make the most of that! We covered about 4 miles on foot, visiting sites as divergent as the Meiji Shrine (where we saw a wedding) and the crazy Takeshita Street. With such limited time it was invaluable to have Lauren’s expert guidance not only about history and culture but also knowing which bathrooms are clean (and have soap!) and where to get a good iced coffee. This private tour was SO worth it - way better than 10 hours in Narita or trying to navigate for myself. Highly recommend especially with Lauren!
