    LarryKomarow, Apr 2024
    Guide was great. Respectful of my physical limitations and told of cost saving options. He was friendly, on time and spoke English very well. Nice that he was mature.

    Learning about Tokyo
    Donna_W, Mar 2024
    We were so impressed with Hiro, under his expert guidance we saw many sights we never would have found and learned about them as well. He always found the elevators at the stations to help with the many stairs. His professional manner and knowledge was a gift and he also took many photographs of us . Just a great way of seeing and learning so much about Japan. Well worth the time and money
    Response from Host, Mar 2024

In order to maximize your fulfillment, I always do my best to meet your needs and find easier access such as elevators. I'm always trying to take some great photographs for my guests. I look forward to seeing you again someday.

    Brennan_S, Feb 2024
    Highly recommend hiring a guide for your first day in Tokyo. Our guide Hiro was able to maximize our time here by creating a custom tour to the places we wanted to see. But he was also very knowledgeable and educational about the histroic sites, the culture, and etiquette of Tokyo and Japan. Highly recommend going on this tour with Hiro!
    Response from Host, Feb 2024

    Highly recommended. Hiro was so kind and gracious, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to introduce us to Tokyo. His quick navigation skills and historical and cultural knowledge made our first day in Tokyo a memorable one. Thank you Hiro!

    Great tour for a planner and want to get the most of your time with some local knowledge
    Lisa_J, Oct 2023
    Our tour guide was Hiro-san and he was great to me and my four teens. There was a lot of communication before we got to Tokyo and he really designed our tour time around us and what we were interested in. His time was extremely valuable as he knew where to go and when would be best. He loves being Japanese and loves sharing it. He is a life-long influence on how my kids understand Japanese culture. If you are a planner and would like some local knowledge to get the most out of your time I would highly recommend him.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour enough. I also had a great time with you and your fantastic children. The four of them are so nice and I really like them. In the future, I really would like to see them. By then I will be able to meet three beautiful ladies and a handsome young man. I'm really looking forward to it now.
    Tokyo visit
    JILL_W, Oct 2023
    Seeing the sights of Toyko was wonderful. Getting to know our guide, Hiro, was equally wonderful. Overall a great day.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you so much for your great review. It would be my pleasure if you could fully enjoy the tour. I had a great time with you. I am looking forward to seeing you again.
    A confidence builder and educator.
    Sandra_D, Oct 2023
    Tadahiro was the most considerate and knowledgeable guide we could have asked for. We were able to visit sites without the crowds and learn about them on a one to two basis. We also gained confidence to both walk around Tōkyō and take the metro ourselves on the following days of our visit. Thank you Hiro.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I also had a great time with you. It seems like you two are now experts in walking and subways in Tokyo. I look forward to seeing you again.
