“We had an amazing experience on the Tokyo Private Local Customized Tour! Yosuke, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. We were traveling with two kids (7 and 12), and he made sure the entire journey was enjoyable for all of us. His explanations were clear, engaging, and adapted so the kids could stay interested too. The team was very responsive to our customized requests, and Yosuke also gave us excellent recommendations along the way, making the day both flexible and well-planned. It truly felt like we got to see Tokyo through the eyes of a local. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. Highly recommend this…”

“Excellent day at Mount Fuji. The selection of spots was outstanding, and driver Mirza drove us safely, kept us entertained, and enriched the tour with many insights and additional information. Although the tour was bookable from 07:00, Mirza recommended starting at 06:00 — which gave us clear views of Mount Fuji and a pleasant, low-traffic drive.”

“We wanted to get in a large dose of sites around Tokyo before we adventured out on our own and this Tour did exactly that. Very easy to book and communication was immediate and clear. We met Ken and he arranged a van for our group. We all piled in and started off. We went to shrines, temples, old style and new style shopping districts and other very distinct Tōkyō stops.

We did a full day tokyo tour and she brought us to the main sites we wanted to see but also the local areas so we could get a sense of what it was like to be local (exactly what I had asked for). She even taught us how to use the train system which was extremely helpful. This took a lot of anxiety away and I appreciate that more than anything.…”

“Our guide, Balsan Victor, was awesome! He took us on the highlights tour in Tokyo. It was much easier with a guide because they share their knowledge and help you get around easily. He even brought us to the top of a building to enjoy views of a beautiful temple and the streets below. We had a wonderful day with him! We loved trying some treats in Asakusa and seeing its traditional temples and streets. We also explored the Imperial Palace Gardens and the Marunouchi area.

He was professional, super courteous, and just really pleasant to spend the day with. One of the highlights was lunch at the restaurant that inspired the big sword-fighting scene in Kill Bill—such a fun stop, and something we never would’ve found on our own. And at the Meiji Shrine, we even spotted the emperor’s car in the parking lot, which made the visit feel even more special. Overall, Moshe gave us a fantastic day in…”
