Tokyo City Tour – Full Day (8 hours)

We booked 3 days with Deen of JapaTour. Deen was very helpful and the booking process very easy. He allocated Marco for our first day. Marco is Italian with a Japanese wife. He speaks and reads Japanese and has studied Japanese history and culture. We had a wonderful informative day with Marco, captured most of the key shrines in Tokyo as well as a visit to the hectic Shibuya crossing and precinct. On our 2nd day we had Mark. An American also with a a Japanese wife. While Mark did not speak Japanese this was not a problem at all. We got out to the suburbs and different areas. It is clear that Mark knew Tokyo. Our 3rd day was also with Mark and we had a day trip to Kamakura. Overall a great 3 days we saw a lot of Tokyo, experienced 3 outstanding lunch spots (2 ramen and 1 curry restaurant) in non touristy areas. Cannot speak highly enough of Marco and Mark. One proviso be prepared to walk, we covered over 20,000 steps each day. However if that’s too much for you just let the guides know

Esperienza ottima,l la nostra guida italiana era Marco. Ci é venuto a prendere e portato nei principali quartieri di Tokyo. La sua passione per la cultura orientale ha reso davvero interessante ogni spiegazione. Non ultimo, ha mostrato empatia e pazienza anche nei confronti di nostro figlio Emiliano, che dopo 10 minuti già lo aveva preso per mano. Tornassimo, vorremmo ancora lui.

I had the most amazing experience with Deen as my private tour guide in Japan. I booked two days with him — one full day in Tokyo and another in Kamakura — and both were absolutely unforgettable. Deen is everything you could hope for in a guide: his English is excellent, he’s incredibly knowledgeable, and he shared so many interesting facts that brought each place to life. What I really appreciated was how he customized the entire experience just for me. He was flexible, thoughtful, and made sure every detail matched my interests. He also took the time to answer all my questions, gave me helpful advice, and even assisted with planning other parts of my trip. His personality is warm, genuine, and fun. I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. If you’re traveling to Japan and want a truly personalized and enriching experience, I can’t recommend Deen highly enough. He made my trip so special -I’m so glad I found him!

Wonderful! I was so grateful to have someone show us the cool cultural side of Tokyo. I wouldn't have found otherwise loved the fact that there is freedom in choice! The kids thought it would be boring but they actually loved the sesh definitely recommend!

Dean is amazing! Not only he knows everything about Tokyo but he was showing me all the tips to take great pictures with the best spots. He has been very flexible stopping to buy water, finding air portable machine, staying more or less in the places that I preferred… He has also been very helpful along our walk. It is my first time in Japan and he showed me how the “basics” work and what to do or not to do! He also helped when people did not understand my English :-) I am so thankful I booked the tour with him! I will recommend him really strongly to anyone!
