My husband and 2 sons (ages 11 and 13) loved our virtual tour of Tokyo. Nino was a fantastic guide and filled the hour with historical, cultural and fun facts! She was able to keep all of us at all ages engaged. It was a welcome diversion for this time of no-travel and very few experiences in the world because of the pandemic. We all can't wait to book our trip when the time allows!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.

We had tour with a beautiful and vibrant Yoko on our 2st official day in Tokyo. We booked a group tour but ended up having a private one as there were no other participants. She took us many places around Odaiba, introduced to Japanese culture and customs and we covered a large area with these bikes. She advised to visit the digital art museum what was so fantastic. I highly recommend, thank you Yoko.

I am very happy I went on this tour. I saw a lot in 8 hours and did not have to worry about how to get from one place to the other which was great! Nobu, my guide, was very nice, knowledgeable and his English was excellent. You can customise your tour, I did not as it was my first time in the city and I enjoyed all the places we went to. I highly recommend this tour.
