Experiencing local with Carlos
"Doing the food tour with Carlos made our stay in Tokyo very special. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the food and how it is prepared. He also gave a perspective what life is like for the locals. Carlos was easy to talk to and helped us navigate many of the Japanese customs. The tour was way more than just a food tour, I would certainly recommend Carlos as a local guide. "

A friendly and fun intro to Tokyo
"We really enjoyed our tour with Gulay and really felt we were being shown around by a friend. She gave us a tour of the Shibuya area of the city, taking us across famous Shibuya scramble crossing and introducing the kids to the crazy capsule dispenser shops - much to their delight! Gulay gave us some great tips for restaurants and also showed us the best place to buy our Shinkansen tickets. She also gave us some really helpful advice both before and after the tour. "
