The Essence of Tokyo - Private Tour

Our tour guide, Sheilina, was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She met us at our hotel on our first day in Tokyo. We let Sheilina plan our itinerary for our 6-hour tour. She did a great job of selecting sites in different parts of the city to give us a wonderful introduction to historic and modern Tokyo. After a short walk to see the cherry blossoms and some landmark buildings, we rode the subway to Asakusa to see the Buddhist Temple, Senso-Ji. We then walked around Asakusa where Sheilina pointed out different landmarks and educated us on the history of the area. She asked us what we wanted for lunch: sushi, tempura, or Kobe beef. We choose Kobe beef and she took us to a wonderful little restaurant away from the touristy area where we had a delicious three-course lunch. From there we took the subway to Shibuya to see the Mark Center shopping complex which has an amazing gourmet food hall. We ended our tour at the Meiji Jingu Shrine. We highly recommend Sheilina. Her English is excellent. She is easy-going and fun to spend a day with.

Sheilina Toh was an excellent tour guide! She explained the history of the places we visited and spoke English very well. She has a very cheerful and pleasant personality and was very mindful to our likes and dislikes.

Many thanks to Sheilina for being so amicable & considerate!

Sheilina is detailed and excellent at handling large groups. She communicates clearly. This is the 2nd group she's hosted with us. She is flexible and always exceeds our expectations.

Sheilina worked with us in advance to create a beautiful itinerary for first time visitors. She is communicative and easy to understand. She was flexible to meet the client at their hotel.

Sheilina Toh is an excellent tour guide. We were a family group of five, three of whom had never been to Japan before. As it was their first day, the tour was selected because it fit our needs for an orientation to some of Tokyo's major sites as well as an introduction to the subway system. She followed the framework of Tokyo City Tour but added elements and suggestions as we went, such as a great lunch restaurant. She accommodated our needs, fitting the pace to the age of our group. She was kind, informative, and flexible. We would recommend her without reservation.
