We had a very enjoyable afternoon with tour guide Ken-he was able to answer all of our questions and provided great knowledge and insight into what we were seeing! We also shared some good laughs and by the end, we felt we’d had a taste of Japan in only four hours! Thank you for all of your recommendations of places to see, places to eat at and things to do over the course of our next 12 days in Japan. A charming young man.

Ken was a great tour guide and brought the sites to life for me and my family. He was so helpful and informative - Ken even showed us how to figure out the train system. It was a wonderful way to learn about different Tōkyō neighborhoods.

Ken is the absolute best guide for history and culture. This is an incredible small group tour that efficiently navigates different and equally important aspects of life in Tokyo and Japanese culture. Ken’s tour was the highlight of my trip…I was the only one on this tour. Lucky me!

The tour and guide were amazing. The timeline for the 4-hour tour was well organized. The Zen Garden is a must-see. Our tour guide Katsu was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. I highly recommend.

We met our tour guide at the appointed place and we proceeded to visit the Senji Temple area, took the subway to Ueno, and then to a beautiful Japanese garden. We were pleased to discover that we were the only two on the tour, so the tour guide, a young man from Nepal, was very sensitive to our needs. I sprained my ankle 2 weeks preceding the tour, so I had to go slowly and rest periodically, which was fine with him. He also showed us how to use the subway, and navigate the various lines on our tour the next day. He was also super knowledgeable about the history and religious customs of Japan. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. However, it is a lot of walking, so be prepared!

Full disclosure, as a solo, woman traveler Japan was initially an intimidating endeavor. My guide, Ricardo tempered my unease and he was also extremely knowledgeable about all the sights we visited. Make sure you wear your sneakers because it is a lot of walking. I loved my experience with Ricardo and I appreciated his thoroughness and time. Definitely recommend this tour!!! Thank you again, and I hope your kiddos and wife are doing well Ricardo!
