Fatima!!!!

We went with Marta and were incredibly lucky to have such a knowledgeable, lovely girl! She was a joy to be with and provided a tour that was life changing! She knew out of the way hidden places that we felt blessed to view.

Exceptional Guide Made Tokyo a Breeze for My Daughter

I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I was with the Mr Yasuro C., who assisted my daughter during her recent trip to Tokyo. From the very beginning, he made her feel at ease by meeting her at the airport and helping her navigate the subway system. His support didn’t stop there—he took the time to show her around and ensured she found her hotel without any issues. His friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge of the city made a huge difference in her experience. She felt safe, supported, and truly valued throughout her journey. I can’t thank him enough for his exceptional service. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring guide in Tokyo, I highly recommend him!

First Day in Tokyo

Keiko is an excellent tour guide. Her English language skills are perfect! She is knowledgeable, flexible, intelligent and friendly. We highly recommend Keiko.

Thank you very much, Dorit-san, for your nice comments. I hope I did not tire you too much on your first day in Japan. You may have noticed that Japanese culture is quite different from yours. It is my pleasure if I could be of any help to you in filling that gap. Please continue enjoying Japan!
