Loved seeing hidden gems in Kyoto

Hiroshima: Private Half-Day Miyajima Tour

We had a wonderful time with our guide Ken. Ken knew all the right sports and viewpoints. Despite the rain and clouds blocking the views Ken made the cable car ride up Mount Misen a memorable experience. He was a terrific guide and explained everything making the visit enjoyable and memorable.

Private Tokyo Tour with a Local Guide: Tailored to Your Interests

Our guide was so lovely! She met us at our hotel and we set off for four hours walking and talking. We had a loose agenda but could stop along the way. I really can’t say how lovely the afternoon was.

We really enjoyed walking around Tokyo with Apy, while getting to know more about the city and culture. She made the day really special!

Tokyo, Your Way: A Personalized 4-Hour Exploration

Tomo made our experience unique and lovely, she let us with the desire to wanted to come back soon.She was very professional, humble, she took us where we wanted to explore. When we come back I ‘ll love to have her as our tour guide. Arigato mosaimasu!

Kamakura Day Trip from Tokyo with a Local: Private & Personalized

The day trip to Kamakura was amazing and Kay was an excellent tour guide who went above and beyond!!!! It was a day I will never forget!!!

Kanna was delightful. She was knowledgeable and did a great job keeping us engaged in the tour.

Milo was great in giving us the tidbits of info that only a resident or historian would have. What we enjoyed the most was that we were able to visit so many places in a short period of time. I don't believe we could have done that on our own. Milo did exactly what we expected of a guide - show us around an unfamiliar city.

Hiroshima: Private Half-Day Miyajima Tour

Great overall tour.

Cruise Stop-over: Day Tour to Kyoto from Kobe Port

Our guide was great; she took us everywhere we wanted to go and explained everything brilliantly. Thank you very much.

Milos was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and even tailored the tour as we proceeded. Excellent tour, would highly recommend :)

Kyoto Gion Memoirs of a Geisha Private Walking Tour

Michael was a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the three hours wondering around the area and learning about the history as well as current happenings in this part of Kyoto. A few drinks together at the end was a memorable touch. Thanks Michael

Must See Kyoto Private Tour

Miki was a wonderful and cheerful host who provided us with valuable information about Japanese culture, restaurants, and sites. She was flexible and willing to adapt our schedule to meet our wishes and interests. We enjoyed some delicious food and learned about each temple and shrine we visited. Additionally, we explored shopping districts and food stands. I would highly recommend Miki as a tour guide.

We are two retired couples from Hawaii . Our guide Cici was very personable and knowlegeable, with a warm and welcoming personality. We sent her some info before the tour about some physical limitations and she thoughtfully built some time in the tour to sit and rest. She took us on some of the "hidden gem" streets and knew about the architecture and other things we were interested in. We took a short tour - 3 hours - but felt that we got an excellent introduction to Kyoto. If we were younger and able to walk longer, a 5 hour tour would have been fun.

This was an excellent tour that I would highly recommend to anyone who is visiting Yokohama. Madoka was an excellent host with a wealth of local knowledge who introduced us to a number of dishes unique to Japan. It was a very pleasurable afternoon /evening that we'll remember well into the future.

Kanazawa Hidden Gems with a Local Host, Custom & Private

Criselda is a great communicator and proactive in making suggestions as to what might be of interest to. She is very engaging and knowledgeable. We had a lovely afternoon with her exploring beautiful Kanazawa.

Kanazawa Half Day Private Tour: Local Highlights & Hidden Gems

The tour of Kanazawa was great! Mouri showed us many places and customized the tour to our liking. We were able to spend more time in the places we want and skip the areas we were not interested in. There is a lot of walking! So be prepared and wear good shoes!

Rimiko was great - very thoughtful of my requests and knows the city well. Great tour!
