What Is a Private Walking Tour from Harajuku to Shibuya Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visitors from North America. The group often travels together and spoke Spanish among themselves. Since they had already been to Kyoto, I planned a walking-focused tour tailored to their wishes so that it would not feel like a similar place. It was a hot day, but the group walked the entire route from the Harajuku area to the Shibuya area without any trouble. Aside from drinks, they did not do any shopping, but they enjoyed window shopping and strolling around the streets. They seemed to especially like Takeshita Street and Cat Street. We looked for a place to eat in Shibuya together, and I guided them into the restaurant, which brought the tour to a close.

Once in a lifetime experience!
I want to express are appreciation for our tour guide Nahoko and our chauffeur Sabiti. We had a wonderful experience and learned so much about the Japanese culture. Nahoko was full of information and we could tell she enjoyed sharing her knowledge. She was very attentive to my needs as I am healing from a recent broken leg . We were still able to see all the sights we requested and more. We would highly recommend using both Nahoko and Sabiti if you want a once in a life time experience. Thank you for everything .

Tripadvisor review: Tokyo 8hr Private Tour with Licensed Guide from Yokohama
Naho did a wonderful job getting us to Shibuya Crossing, Senso-ji temple, Nakamise shopping, Nezu torii gates. We stopped for conveyor belt sushi for lunch, which was very enjoyable. Last stop was Rikugien Gardens for a beautiful relaxing end of the tour. We highly recommend Nado. She listened to our shopping needs and helped us locate them. She was friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job taking us on trains, buses, and taxi
