Private Tokyo Tour Report: Tsukiji, Asakusa, and Meguro River Cherry Blossoms by a Licensed Guide
The guests were a cheerful and very friendly group visiting from North America. Since they mentioned they were big fans of sushi, I first took them to Tsukiji. They had visited Tsukiji about eight years earlier, before it relocated to Toyosu, so at that time they had been able to see the tuna auction. This time they seemed disappointed that it was no longer possible to view it. I asked whether they would like me to make a sushi reservation, but since some of the guests had eaten a large breakfast, they declined for the moment, and we decided to have a meal in Asakusa. It was their first visit to Sensoji Temple, so they were delighted and bought many souvenirs. They said they wanted to go to a long-established sushi restaurant, but since it did not open until after noon, we enjoyed conveyor-belt sushi instead. Afterward, we moved to the Meguro River, where they fully enjoyed the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

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.
