What Is a Private Family Tour of Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were very cheerful, and we had a wonderful time together. They were very well-behaved and rode the trains quietly. Since they came from Europe, the movie was a little hard for them to catch, and they often asked me to repeat my English several times, but we never had any trouble communicating. When I took one of the guests to a kanzashi (hair ornament) shop along the way, they liked it very much and purchased an umbrella and a kanzashi. I heard that they would be heading to Kanazawa and Kyoto next, so I asked whether they planned to hire a guide. When they asked me for advice, I recommended that in Kyoto, where there are many similar temples and shrines, it would be best to hire a guide who can clearly explain the differences between them.

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.
