What Is a Private Tokyo Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Shibuya, Harajuku, and Tokyo Tower
The guests were very cheerful and considerate toward me as well. They were very well-behaved throughout the day. Thinking that visiting only temples and shrines might become tiring, I consulted with the guests and changed the plan from Asakusa to Shibuya and Harajuku. They did a lot of shopping on Takeshita Street and enjoyed it immensely. At the guests' request, we also had sushi, which everyone enjoyed without getting bored. At the final stop, Tokyo Tower, the weather was clear, so the guests were able to enjoy a full panoramic view of Tokyo.

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!!!
