Chris was awesome. He grew up in the states and japan and is fluent in English and japanese. We had a world class experience.

Great Tokyo Experience

PENNY_H, Apr 2024

Our guide and driver were top notch! We love 💕 that they found a wonderful and authentic Japanese spot for our lunch.. YUMMY!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Penny-san, thank you guys so much for the kind review! I'm so glad that we were able to meet your needs accordingly. Finding a nice authentic Japanese style restaurant in Asakusa without having to wait in a long line at this time of the year can be challenging but we were able to do all these things very smoothly and i am just so happy that you guys were able to enjoy yourselves. See you until next time! Chris

STOP SEARCHING!! You found the best

Dawn_V, Apr 2024

So many positive things to say about Chris and the gentleman who drove us around, Mr T. Chris was professional yet laid back and very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do. It was perfect, not too many temples, not too much shopping and just the right amount of scrumptious food. Chris is knowledgeable, personable, funny and really took the time to get to know us and had great recommendations based on just our conversations. We loved it so much we booked a second tour with him before our first one ended! Looking forward to our next visit to Japan and our next adventure with Chris and Mr. T.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Dawn-san and Vince-san, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are so very grateful that you chose to travel with us in Japan not only once but for the third time in one trip! You guys were so generous and treated me like I was part of your family. I'll never forget the experience that we had together and I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Fantastic service and personable tour guides!

Johanna_C, Mar 2024

This tour was a true VIP experience, with our guides walking us through both iconic landmarks and local hangouts. The driver picked us up curbside at each stop, which means we could visit a great number of places in one day. The team also provided an efficient itinerary so we could maximize our time. Highly recommend this service!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Johanna-san, Thank you very much for your warm review. We are truly delighted that we had the opportunity to explore Tokyo together. Your family was so lively and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Amidst various providers operating illegally with white number plates, we always ensure to welcome our guests with a team of two or more, and we use vehicles that are properly registered with the country. We will continue to strive with pride to welcome customers like yourself to our service! Thank you once again. We look forward to the day we can meet again. Best regards, Chris

Awesome day in Tokyo!

Casey_A, Dec 2023

We had a wonderful day in Tokyo - we got to see a ton of great things in a short amount of time, with an excellent guide and driver!! Highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Casey san Thank you very much for choosing our services. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour. In Tokyo, unfortunately, it's true that about 90% of tour operators are operating illegally. Our company, however, prides itself on providing a service that ensures VIP customers like yourself can use it with complete peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us anytime when planning your next visit to Japan. We look forward to serving you again. Best regards,

From hart to hart

MrsLee_P, Oct 2023

Goto was the most kind and mindful guide we ever had. We had a nice trip to bonsai garden, enjoied special tea ceremony and sacrad places in Tokyo and all of this just for one single day. But that wasn't just only a trip but talk from hart to hart. So thank you Goto for sharing your view of life with us. Our grandsons Hugo and Hans are greeting you as well, thank you so much. Best regards, Lee and Peeter

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Lee and Peter, We sincerely appreciate your choosing our services, and we want to express our heartfelt thanks for your surprise review. From the moment we first met, it has been a pleasure to spend the day with both of you. Engaging in conversations with individuals like yourselves, who have had numerous experiences, is truly invaluable to me. Being able to guide you through the Tokyo I know and share its charm has been an honor. I'm delighted to hear that the Japanese confectionery gift we provided for your grandchild was to your liking. It's a part of the Goto Selection and its very local. and I hope it adds a sweet touch to their day. I look forward to the possibility of meeting both of you again in the future. Please take good care, and I hope you continue to enjoy your wonderful journey in Japan. With sincere thanks, GOTO

Best Tour Ever

Ally_S, Jun 2023

Our tour was AMAZING. We wanted an overview of Tokyo and to be able to get around in the massive city and see a lot on our first day. This tour MORE than delivered. We were picked up by our guide, Goto, and a driver right on time and immediately went out to see some famous and hidden spots. Our favorite was actually a bonsai museum, which we would have never known about otherwise. Goto provided a great overview and adapted to our personal interests. The tour was six hours, which was the perfect amount of time. I was really thankful to have the car as it allowed us to see more in that timeframe. We were also able to ask a lot of questions about culture and customs, which proved to be useful on the rest of our trip. An added perk was all the photos that Goto took! Thank you for everything -- couldn't recommend this tour enough.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear ALLY san Thank you very much for choosing our services. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to be your guide during your honeymoon trip to Tokyo. From the moment we met, there was a connection that was truly heartwarming. It was a pleasure spending time with both of you. Please know that you are always welcome in Tokyo, and I look forward to the chance to meet again in the future. Warm regards, GOTO

Excellent

Gianna_C, Apr 2023

We had a great tour with Goto. He was the best tour guide. We visited many places in a few hours and he took us to a very special bonsai garden. We also went to a sword museum and to the market where he explained to us many important facts. We loved this tour and definitely recommend it

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Gianna san Dear Gianna-san, Thank you very much for choosing our services. We also appreciate your kind review submission. Our goal is to make our services known to people worldwide, allowing more individuals to enjoy their stay in Tokyo. We are truly grateful that you had a delightful time with us. You are always welcome in Tokyo, and we look forward to your return. Best regards, GOTO

Experience of a Lifetime- highly recommend

Heidi_B, Apr 2023

Goto was the most accommodating and kind guide anyone could ever ask for. We had the most incredible day that was tailored specifically for our wants and also included things we didn’t even know we wanted into our experience. If we could give him a million stars we would. Take this tour you will not regret it! Thank you Goto for EVERYTHING!!!!! You are an amazing human ❤️

Tokyo Tour

Andrew_P, Apr 2023

Dear Goto, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the amazing experience that you provided us during our tour of Tokyo. Your knowledge and expertise about the city were impressive, and your enthusiasm and energy throughout the day were contagious. I learned so much about Tokyo that I never would have known if it weren't for you. Your attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made our tour special, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The sights, sounds, and tastes of Tokyo left a lasting impression on us, and we hope to return soon to experience more of the city. Sincerely, Andrew & Vivian

The Best Tour Guide!

Ashley_B, Mar 2023

The tour guide - Goto - was amazing. He truly made the trip all come together. We used him for several days and he customized everything, catered to every need and thought ahead. He was organized and fun! 5 stars and would highly recommend!!

Best Tour Ever!

Paula_O, Mar 2023

I had a full day in Tokyo to share with my sisters, and this private custom tour was amazing! We had so much fun! He brought us to some spots we would’ve never thought of going! He was flexible, and had a great sense of humor! His English was fantastic! I would highly recommend this trip

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Paula-san Thank you for your heartwarming review and show how you enjoyed our Tour. We are sure, your group was a beautiful team and that is the reason we made the best day. Once again Thank you for choosing us for your limited time in Tokyo. Anytime, even if your reservation was 4am of the tour date, we provide the best service for you.:) Regards GOTO

We loved Yoshi!

M Roberts N, Aug 2019

Our time was limited in Tokyo. Yoshi-san driver/guide expertly took us to our top destinations within 6 hours in a spacious AC-van. Very pleased. Highly recommend. Worth every yen.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Dear N Family Thank you for let us escort your limited time in TOKYO. With promise of our words, I am glad to hear you had great time. Our Driver Yoshi is one of the best experienced driver guide in TOKYO(which very hard to find). We will be looking forward to your next visit. Aloha & Mahalo Manager GOTO

Brilliant Tour around Tokyo - Goto is the best

Simon_E, May 2019

I booked this tour for my bosses when they had a spare few days in Tokyo between business meetings and it couldn't have been better. I booked two days of this tour and the tour guide Goto was fantastic at showing them everything they wanted to see. They said he really was a great guide and they'd recommend him to anyone thinking of going. He was super friendly and efficient and was contacting me beforehand so I knew exactly what to expect and where they'd be going. Goto, you're the best, thank you!

Tokyo private 6 hour tour

Donna_I, Jul 2018

It was fantastic. Our guide Goto was very knowledgeable and after talking with us customized a day for us we will never forget. After seeing all the key sites we had an amazing local tempura lunch. To top it all off Goto made suggestions for the rest of our visit and even made a reservation at one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten ate. Fantastic

Mr. Goto was excellent! Very...

Darlene S, Mar 2018

Mr. Goto was excellent! Very knowledgeable and personable.

Thanks Mr Goto for the lovely tour...

Louis Laja U, Dec 2017

Thanks Mr Goto for the lovely tour. Car is very clean and spacious. Tour guide is friendly and professional. Highly recommended from me and my wife Mel. see you again soon.

I recommend this 6 hour private taxi...

James M, Dec 2017

I recommend this 6 hour private taxi tour if you have limited time in Tokyo and wish to see the main sights in a day. We had an excellent day with Goto and Tony who was driving that day. We were picked up at our hotel on time and discussed the places we wished to visit. Both Goto and Tony spoke good English and we were able to park close to the main attractions. They looked after us very well and both were able to go round many of the places with us. The day was well organised and we finished at the Imperial palace, close to out hotel. We would have been happy to walk back from there to the Hotel, but Goto and Tony waited for us and dropped us back at the hotel. An excellent tour and a great way to see some of the main places in Tokyo.

Our guide picked us up at the hotel...

severin.walker, Dec 2017

Our guide picked us up at the hotel and had some great recommendations that he blended with the two or three specific locations we wanted to visit. The private car itself is a bargain given the cost of taxis in Tokyo, add to that getting details and suggestions from a local, and I'm very pleased that we chose this. I will be passing along our driver's info to my business contact in Tokyo to recommend to other visiting associates.
