Title: What's a Private Tour of Asakusa, Tsukiji, and Nezu Shrine Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Today's guests were a group visiting Japan from Europe. We first visited Asakusa, where I explained the origins of Kaminarimon and its lantern. They were surprised that nearly all the visitors were from overseas. When they drew an omikuji fortune and got "small blessing," I told them they were lucky, but they were a little disappointed to find the English content did not seem so lucky. They were impressed by the beauty of the five-story pagoda and by how its earthquake-resistant structure has been applied to the Tokyo Skytree. Next we moved to Tsukiji, and since they had wanted to eat sushi for some time, I reserved a restaurant and they enjoyed a sushi lunch right away. Finally we visited Nezu Shrine, where an azalea festival was being held. They said it was the first time they had ever seen such beautiful azaleas, so I felt relieved and glad to have brought them there. There was a one-hour wait to enter the azalea garden, but the flowers were beautiful enough even when viewed from a distance.

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.
