Secret Tokyo Private Tour

Setsuko was such a wonderful guide. We met with her on our first (ever) day in Tokyo. She took us to the Tsukuji market where we were able to grab a bite to eat before our six hour walking tour around Tokyo. Setsuko was very flexible with our itinerary and made sure that she was taking us to places that we would be interested in. She was so helpful and she educated our daughters on how to navigate the train system which made them our tour guides for the rest of the trip. She even helped us book the Shinkansen to Kyoto and back and made sure we had good seats both ways. The most impressive thing about Setsuko is her knowledge and lasting energy. As we were winding down from all the walking, I think she would have walked another ten thousand steps! We were sad when we parted as we felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. We had such a memorable day with Setsuko.

Our tour guide was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She customized our tour and brought us to places no cruise or land tour would take you. Her knowledge of the sites, the city and subway were so outstanding. What a wonderful day!!!

Setsuko is a very special and friendly person. We had such a fun day in the rain! We enjoyed discussing history and other aspects of Japanese life and perspective. We especially appreciated her willingness to help us with restaurant reservations and take us shopping!

Wonderful experience with Setsuko. Excellent communication ahead of time, organized, accommodated our preferences, took us to an out-of-the way garden we would have never found on our own. She oriented us patiently to the complex transportation system in Tokyo patiently, helped us buy train tickets. She is warm, personable, very knowledgeable about Tokyo. We had interesting discussions about Japan's history, culture and food. You can't go wrong being guided by Setsuko!

Having a guide for the first day in Tokyo gave us the groundwork for our entire trip. Tokyo can be overwhelming but the guide set up our train pass and showed us how to use the transport. After that we travelled around Japan with confidence.

Setsuko knows her way around Tokyo and provided a great tour! We rode the public transit system which made getting around this large city quite easy. We visited the "Tokyo City View"--instead of Tokyo Skytree--and had an incredible view of the whole city-we even saw the top of Mt Fuji at a far! We visited the shopping district and the oldest department store in Tokyo and then also visited a beautiful botanical Japanese garden. We had a wonderful day, avoiding crowds and seeing a different side of Tokyo.
