Rohan was so friendly and engaged, it was like we had met before. He was very flexible and led me to places I definitely didn't know about before and I had done quite a bit of touring around Tokyo before out meeting. In fact, I was going to cancel the tour, cuz I thought I had done a lot of touring of Tokyo. That would have been a big mistake, I saw places I never would have seen before. Rohan has over 30 years of experience in Tokyo and it shows. Highly recommended!

We loved this tour! Sid did an incredible job of walking us through several areas of Tokyo, sampling various favorite foods enjoyed by the Japanese. We also had a great lunch at a local restaurant. There is such an amazing variety of foods on display at the many shops along the streets, that we were at a loss about what things to try when we were on our own. We would have missed so much if we hadn't gone on this tour. Our small group of 7 was the perfect size for sharing the experience. Sid was a lot of fun to be with - spoke perfect English and was very organized. With a city as large as Tokyo, having a guide is invaluable.

My wife and I had 7 hours between disembarking from a cruise ship and checking in at Haneda Airport in Tokyo Japan. The “Hello Tokyo” private tour was the ideal way to spend those hours. “Hello Tokyo” provided us with detailed information on connecting with Sidney, our guide, after disembarking from the cruise ship in Yokohama. Sid was well versed in Japanese history and culture. After connecting, he spent some time becoming acquainted with our interests to ensure we got the best possible experience. Our tour started with a visit to the forested Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine, then on to the old Nihonbashi district. On crossing the Nihonbashi bridge Sidney showed us the old “zero marker” for measuring distances to other locations in Japan; reviewed the layout of streets in the Edo Period; talked about construction in Tokyo in the 1600s and the rise of the street known as “medicine town” as we walked to Mitsukoshi the first department store in Japan that started as a kimono / textile shop in 1673. Lunch time. Sidney suggested a Japanese restaurant and helped us with menu selection. Then on to a fan shop founded in 1590, an old sweet / confectionary shop founded in 1877 and finally viewing a reproduction of an 1805 picture scroll in the basement concourse outside the Mitsukoshi department store before it was time to head to Haneda Airport.
