Title: What's a Private One-Day Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Tsukiji, Akihabara, and Asakusa
The guests were visitors from North America and were very cheerful and polite people. Since they were returning home from Narita on an evening flight that day, we decided to purchase Narita Express tickets in advance. I had never bought them at Shinagawa before and was unsure where and how to do so, but the guests waited patiently without minding at all. After that, we went to Tsukiji and walked around the outer market. Some of the guests loved sushi, but since raw fish did not suit everyone, we skipped a sushi lunch. Next, as some of the guests were fans of anime, I took them to the Radio Kaikan in Akihabara, where they were thrilled and looked around intently, purchasing figures as well. Finally, we visited Asakusa, and they were surprised by how many international visitors there were. We had ramen in Asakusa, and since it was cold, they were grateful and enjoyed eating it very much.

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.
