Great experience with Shoru
Stephanie_A, Apr 2024
Shoru was an excellent guide through Tokyo and made sure we were comfortable and he was flexible with our change in plans. Highly recommend for seeing a lot in a little time!
Response from Host, May 2024
"Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that Shoru provided an excellent tour and adapted so well to your schedule changes. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad you could see so much of Tokyo with us!"
Fantastic Tokyo Experience
Jo_M, Apr 2024
We had such a great time on our tour of Tokyo. Our driver, Aibek was informative and entertaining. We saw so many interesting places and got to explore so much of the city. Sometimes he would drop us off at a place and instruct us where to go, and then pick us up at a convenient location. Other times, he would accompany us in enjoyable walking tours. We were interested in trying Fugu and Abe found us a very nice restaurant specializing in Fugu and joined us for a fun meal. After taking this tour, I feel like we saw so much of the city and Abe gave us suggestions for places to visit during our remaining time - which we did! This tour definitely made our time in Tokyo memorable and our time with Abe was priceless! A++ Highly recommended
Response from Host, May 2024
"Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience! We're so glad Aibek made your tour of Tokyo memorable with his informative guidance and great recommendations. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the Fugu restaurant and that the tour enriched your visit. We appreciate your high recommendation and hope to see you again soon!"
So nice to do a private tour

Being able to pick the sites. We are not shoppers, and our guide, John, did an excellent job guiding us to historical and culturally significant locations.

Ghazal_N, Apr 2024

Wonderful Day With A Fabulous Guide
Linda_J, Apr 2024
Shokhrud Safarov was one of the best guides we've ever! He was exceptionally thoughtful and knowledgeable, he took the time to learn our interest and recommend sites and activities that would be of most interest to us. We had a delightful day exploring Tokyo with this exceptional young man and highly recommend him.
Great private driver to see Tokyo attraction sites
Byron_B, Apr 2024
The driver was great and did his best to get us to and explain all the attractions of city in one day. But this is not a guided tour to be clear. This being advertised as private tour didn’t meet that category. There was no tour guide along with us. We were simply dropped off at each site and given timeline to meet back at same or other end of each destination. We had to navigate and find our own way around the sites. We probably could have done this with hop on hop off bus for fraction of cost. But most likely we couldn’t have hit as many places as we did.
Priceless experience around Tokyo
Carlos_S, Apr 2024
Utah was a wonderful companion, he took us to very interesting places, was always pleasant, cheerful and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him.
Relaxing day
JohnAngus_M, Apr 2024
Abu was the perfect guide for us. He planned our time in Tokyo perfectly to suit our time table and took us to see Cherry blossom in beautiful settings
A total flexible tour to experience Tokyo with limited time available
Nathaniel_M, Apr 2024
Although we received a proposed itinerary, the day was completely flexible and we could determine where we wanted to go and how much time we want to spend at each site. The driver was knowledgeable and could recommend certain places of interest.
Awesome Driver/Tour Guide
Shelly_B, Mar 2024
Uta-San, our driver/guide was an absolute gem. He was very accommodating and assisted my mom who is in a wheelchair getting in and out of the car. Uta-San was very nice, kind, thoughtful, and professional, always looking after our needs. I would highly recommend this 8-hour Private Car Tour to anyone who would like to see Tokyo and ask for Uta-San of Glocal Japan for your driver/tour guide. The unfortunate part of our tour is that it was raining (sometimes heavy down pour) all day in Tokyo along with the cold weather, hence, we were not able to go down to most of the sights. It would have been a perfect tour if the weather cooperated.
Great service to recommend
Mahendra_S, Mar 2024
The English speaking driver Ura communicated well and customized our trip within allocated time. He was very friendly and helpful. I will request for him if I ever come back. Viator service was great and communicated to the local vendor our wishes well.
Tokyo private tour by car
Alex_G, Mar 2024
Tokyo private tour with Boho was amazing! We covered compilation of most popular, hidden, unusual locations in town. He took us for a quick lunch in traditional Tokyo cousin with buffet of variety of Japanese dishes. We walked into vintage and modern Tokyo and fish markets. Boho was artificulte, knowledgeable and amusing. If you want to make memories this is the right tour and the tour guide!
Great day!
tthrashe, Mar 2024
Our day was great! Ural was a great driver and fit a lot of points of interest into our day! There was a pickup point mix up, but it was easily sorted out and the day was great! It was a wonderful first day in Tokyo!
Happy & Fun Tokyo Private Tour!
Mariel_J, Mar 2024
We're very happy with our tour experience in Tokyo and good choice we made it with Glocal Japan. Shoru-san, our driver for that day, was very knowledgeable of the history of places included in our Tokyo Itinerary. He was also very kind and patient while we took our pictures and explore each place. It feels like a friend tour us around. Overall, our Tokyo Private Tour is really one for the books and we'll definitely recommended it to others.
Great fun with a great guide
Leanne_C, Mar 2024
Kibo, our guide was absolutely fantastic. So friendly and interesting with very good English. He was very happy to modify our day on how things were going, and to search for us when we got ourselves lost. Suited us perfectly and very well worth the cost. Had a wonderful day, thanks to Kibo!
Best way to see Tokyo as a family!
Felicity_Q, Mar 2024
What a way to start our Tokyo adventure! Our lovely driver Abu spoke perfect English (in fact, he speaks five languages!) and was so knowlegeable and easy going. We were given the option to do the proposed itinerary or to go wherever we wanted. Being able to spend time in each place on our own time and then meet back to be taken somewhere else was perfect for us. Abu's knowledge of Tokyo was extensive and no request was ever a problem. He also took us to a great ramen place - our first Tokyo lunch experience with locals which wad cheap and very very tasty! Would absolutely recommend this way of seeing Tokyo without the overwhelming hassle of navigating the subway system, especially early on in your trip. Thanks Abu 🙏
Punctual Polite Flexible
PokMan_C, Dec 2023
Pretty good experience. The driver was on time, polite, and followed our itinerary to bring us to the once we wanted to go. He helped us with taking bags in between shopping trips. He even dropped us off at dinner and then drove our shopping bag to the hotel so we didn’t need to carry all that!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you very much for your beautiful review, sir! Indeed, we encourage all of our drivers/guides to always be punctual and polite. It is our please to hear such warm thoughts about us and we hope to see you back in Tokyo again!
