Spend some time with one of our hosts exploring the neon-lit city of Tokyo together. Maybe you’d like to discover the highlights of the neighborhood you’re staying in, or simply stroll through the lantern-lined lanes of Tokyo’s older districts. Action-lovers might be keen to catch a sumo match, or alternatively, get sky high and enjoy sushi with a view. There's no place quite like Tokyo, trust us.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded local host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Truly personalized and absolutely worth it! What an excellent way to see Tokyo! It was as if I had a close friend who knew the ins and outs of the city (subway, language, bartering tips, best food places) and could simply sit back and enjoy the day. I got to choose where we went, how long we stayed and ask as many questions as I wanted. By the end of the tour, I felt confident that I could navigate the transit system, pick the best neighborhoods to explore more of and how to interact with the locals..and Masahito (my guide) felt like a good friend! I loved this version of a city tour and ended up booking they same style tour on the next stop of my trip!

Even though I am confident to get around most US cities and Europe I was nervous about navigating Tokyo. I read that there are multiple train companies and I was confused about how it would work. WE ARE SO GLAD we hired Rui from City Unscripted. She helped us get a pass that worked for all the Tokyo metros and showed us exactly how easy it is to use. We went to several "local only" experiences where we were the only white people and that's exactly what we wanted. We saw so much more in one day than we would've alone and it made the most of our first day in Tokyo. The following day we got around great and it was all thanks to Rui helping us and checking off so many boxes for our first day. I would 100% recommend this service. It was some of the best money we spent on our trip.

Excellent walking tour of Tokyo, which you can personalize according to your interests.
Friendly and knowledgeable guide. An added benefit: our guide was French, who has lived for more than five years in Tokyo and with an excellent command of the English language. This fact made him better able to see through the eyes of a visitor. He also taught us to move through the somewhat complex train network, which helped us through the rest of the visit. Also gave us good advice on restaurants and other must-go places. We walked a lot, but it was certainly worth it. We highly recommend it.

We wondered if we should pay for this full day custom "sight seeing" but it was worth every penny. Our guide, Hiroto, was wonderful. It was a very useful day, much more than just "sightseeing". We started with logistics and taking care of all our plans, tickets, pocket wi-fi, etc. for the rest of our stay. This way we could truly relax because everything got handled in an hour or so. Would have taken us days and days to do it on our own. We then spent the rest of the day visiting the most interesting places (designed our itinerary together, in the morning) and exploring places tourists would never get to (eg. Hiroto's favourite tempura restaurant, a little hole in the wall, with the best tempura ever...). We don't know if all the guides are as good as Hiroto was, but this was definitely the best way to spend our first day in Tokyo. Our advice: don't try to save by skipping this step. It pays back bundles!

I heartily recommend Patrick, our host for a tour that was both professional and friendly. We liaised beforehand and he was able to provide just what we needed. We've been in Tokyo a couple of times, but not for twenty years so we wanted to see a different part of the city, get our bearings and remind ourselves of the history and that's what we did.

Giovanni was an excellent tour guide who showed my son and I the major attractions of Tokyo. He also gave us a hands on tutorial of the Tokyo train system, an absolute must in Tokyo. Take this tour early on in your trip, it will make the rest of your stay in Tokyo so much better.

Full day exploring Tokyo with Giovanni. He was very helpful at guiding us with exchanging rail tickets & using Subway which set us up well for the rest of our time in Tokyo. Giovanni brought us to Asakusa, Ueno, Omotesande, Shibuya. We got a good feel for the city.

Martina was a superb guide! Her knowledge of Japan culture, history, religion, and shopping was excellent. We learned so much, and we were able to navigate Tokyo's transportation system "almost" like pros. Her English was very good. And we loved her flexibility with our tour as questions and comments came up. We highly recommend an 8-hour tour with Martina/City Unscripted. Next trip, will be another tour through City Unscripted.
