William was great! Very good English skills and a kind and thoughtful guide. Sat down with us before we went on tour and tailored it to our needs/wants. Can not recommend him high enough.

Overview of your Tokyo tour
Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Since Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate in Edo (now Tokyo) in 1603, Tokyo has prospered as the political, cultural and economic center of Japan. Many government agencies, financial institutions and large corporate headquarters are concentrated here. Tokyo has a large population of approximately 13 million people, making it the most populous city not only in Japan but also in the world. As an international metropolis with a highly concentrated population, Tokyo is also a place where various cultures meet and blend. From Asakusa full of town style to bustling Shinjuku, Ginza where luxury brands gather, the Imperial Palace where you can feel the history of Japan, Odaiba full of romantic atmosphere, Akihabara full of animation culture, Harajuku and Shibuya, the popular places for young people. You can experience different Tokyo depending on the area you visit. I can customize this tour according to your requests.

William was punctual, very communicative and we enjoyed our tour with him. Would certainly recommend his services for others.
Margaret C.United States
William was the perfect tour guide for us. He helped to organize our days so that they ran smoothly with little downtime. He included all the places we had asked to visit, and also made suggestions and changes that we were very happy with. We appreciated his expertise, especially with timing and transportation, which helped to maximize our time touring. He was extremely helpful with navigating us through the train station for our Shinkansen to Kyoto. He always answered our gazillion questions with charm and patience. He was very knowledgeable on all kinds of topics, and was an interesting person to talk to in general. His English is very good (this coming from a retired academic ESL instructor in New York). In summary, we had an amazing journey through Tokyo and William was key in making it such wonderful, memorable experience.
