Yuko gave our family of 4 a private tour two days in a row in Tokyo. We appreciated her patience and knowledge and had a fun and busy day seeing the sites. She navigated us through a very cool sushi restaurant where her advanced planning allowed us to skip the long line and have a delicious meal with our family. We got so much out of the time with her and can see why she has wonderful reviews. Thank you Yuko!

It was an absolute delight to spend two days with Yuko. She kept five of us hopping all over Tokyo, at a pace we set. From Shrines, Temples, Fish Markets, and multiple districts of the city we saw so much and learned our way around. Yuko selected lovely authentic Japanese restaurants for us, both with delicious food. She knows a great deal about Tokyo and the areas we toured, which increased our appreciation of the sites we visited. I know we would all tour with Yuko again.

Yuko was wonderful. Just what we wanted in a guide for our first day in Tokyo. She is friendly— engaging every member of our family— and flexible about the itinerary. She attentive to the needs of our group and quick to accommodate those needs. Her English is expand she has a sense of humor too. She went above & beyond to help us reserve seats on the Shinkansen and insure we would be in the right place for our onward journey. Glad we had Yuko as our guide. Highly recommend!

We booked Yuko for our first full day in Tokyo because her profile said she was a foodie and knows shopping. I like food and my wife likes shopping for unusual styles. Yuko took us to a restaurant for yakitori and the food was delicious! I had sent her pictures of what styles my wife liked so she would be prepared. Yuko did not disappoint as she brought us to the type of shops my wife loved. In fact, she ended up buying several pieces of clothing yesterday. Yuko brought her A game and we had a great day!

Yuko was a wonderful guide who could change course upon request for the best adventure available at the time. She is very knowledgeable of gardens and had more interest in technology than she thought. She speaks very good English. We had plenty of laughs along the way.

Yuko was so amazing and nice. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and so fun to be around. I will definitely be booking in the future again if possible!
