Our private tour with Miwako was the highlight of our visit to Japan. She communicated with us in advance to ascertain what we wanted to see and do, and put together a tour that covered everything but was also relaxing and fun. She was very personable and helpful, and gave us fascinating insights into life in Japan. She is a wonderful guide. The car was extremely comfortable. In sum, this highly personalized tour was exactly what we wanted, and I’m so glad we did it!

Great tour. Friendly knowledgable guide and great driver. Went everywhere we wanted to go plus many other places. Knew where to go and got dropped off close to attractions and came back close to pick us up afterwards. Gave us other places to visit on following days we were in Tokyo.

Our tour guide, Miwa was wonderful. Her English was excellent. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. She also went out of her way to help us get our Rail Passes. Thanks for a wonderful day, Miwa!

We would highly recommend this tour. For our first full day in Tokyo, it was the perfect introduction to the city. We quickly learned how to take the subway and were exposed to areas of Tokyo we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Miwa was super accommodating and generous. Her knowledge of the city and plan for the day are exactly what we had hoped for.

Our private tour with Miwa not only exceeded our expectations, it was the highlight of our entire Summer of Asia adventures. Miwa listened carefully to what we wanted to see and experience..we had a limited time in Tokyo and with two younger children in the heat of Summer we wanted to make the experience memorable and pleasant. We didn't know too much about where we wanted to go but told her the sort of experience we wanted and she created the day perfectly. Through the day she gave us incredible nuggets of facts and knew when to stop and even gave us snacks she purchased herself..we were touched by her generosity of time and thoughtfulness. Her English is perfect and she was very good with our two elementary age girls. We felt thoroughly comfortable with her. She helped organize a private car for our tour which I recommend for hot summer days. We got to see so much more this way.
