Overview

You couldn't possibly see all of Tokyo’s must-sees in one day but you can see what you think is unmissable. Get lost amongst the madness of Shibuya Crossing, feast on sushi at the top of a skyscraper, take in the views from the top of the Tokyo Skytree or pay your respects at Sensō-ji. Feeling peckish? There are dozens of noodle outlets and sushi dens. Just tell us what you’re into, and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

After booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire about your interests and what you are looking for from your local host. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host who will create a personalized itinerary for your Tokyo adventure.

Everything was phenomenal !

Patrick was a great tour guide !! We loved every minute we spent walking around Tokyo gaining a lot of knowledge throughout the day. Patrick was very attentive, knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. We asked to see some hidden gems and he was able to provide. Thanks to Patrick we were able to gain a good local experience by tasting high quality sake and other local foods. I recommend Patrick as a tour guide to anyone seeking a great experience in Tokyo.
Exploring a great city

We had a great day with Hirotake, whose superb English enabled us to learn a lot more about the city on our day out. We visited a wide variety of places, from shrines to a matcha café, posh department stores to a shop selling cheap second hand kimonos (well, we had to buy one!) and a boat trip on the river. We walked all day and enjoyed every minute.
Excellent way to see the city

Highly recommend this way of getting to know the city. Fulvio was a terrific guide and was totally flexible in planning a day's outing that suited our needs. Of course you can't see everything in a day but this is a perfect way to focus in on your interests, while gaining some great local insights on the culture and way of life along the way. We did the tour on our first day in Tokyo, leaving us time during the rest of our stay to re-visit some areas in greater detail and other areas suggested by Fulvio (during our day tour and a follow-up email he promptly sent afterwards). While Fulvio was always mindful about pacing to meet our needs, it's fair to say you need a good pair of walking shoes! Also, if you're not confident with the subway, this is also a great way to get to know it as you spend the day hopping on and off lines to get to your destinations.
Great time in Tokyo

Fulvio did a great job of customizing the day for my teenage daughter and I. It was a great combination of history, culture, and touristy and non-touristy sites. It is a long day and a lot of walking - we logged more than 25,000 steps and 11 miles on the tour - but we saw a lot of stuff. But don't worry - he asked multiple times if we were OK with the walking and that there are ways to reduce the walking if needed.

We only had 48 hours in Tokyo and it was our first time there and this was a great way to see a lot of different places as we plan our return trip.
Awesome day

A full day tour with Noriko. Just a great day. She was very knowledgable and personable. Took us all over and fed us local foods. Highly recommend Noriko. Thanks again for an awesome day.
