What Is a Private Family Tour in Japan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
At first the group was in good spirits, but partway through, some of the guests grew tired, and the others turned their attention to them, making it harder to stay focused on my guiding. Even so, I made sure to explain the important sights thoroughly. That said, I tried my best to keep to the key points only. The guests were very friendly and pleasant people, and they took part in the tour with smiles right to the end. At the end, I am uploading a group selfie we all took together. It was a meaningful day.

Amazing tour of Tokyo with Yuji
Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 6hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Yuji was an amazing guide. He was able to add so much information about all the sites we chose to see. He was very kind and when we were tired he suggested a stop for coffee. It revived us and we kept going.
I would highly recommend Yuji to any one visiting Tokyo.

We had a great experience with our 6 hour walking tour. Yuji was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful through the whole experience. He took us to places that were family friendly and recommended good places to eat and enjoy. We recommend him for your next trip to Tokyo!!!
