CanadaGreat tour guide, very kind and knowledgeable. He helps you save lots of time and energy to see the places since the language is a bit of a barrier and if you have time constraints to figure it out on your own. We wish we would have known earlier that we would have to pay for his tickets to attractions, lunch and train ticket since the tour guide fee was abit high. He doesn't guide you on things you wouldn't find out on your own, just helps you save time.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your detailed review. This tour is basic mainly for first visitors, and when my guests have other interests, I try to have some conversations with them in advance. And I’m feeling all the more important for communications including expenses.

CanadaSumi was an excellent guide. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the tour and he was very accommodating to our family with 1 teen and 1 child. We would definitely recommend Sumi without hesitation to anyone looking for a great tour guide while in Tokyo!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your review, Janet! I heard yesterday that your kids were tired. Is it going well with them? Have a good trip over Japan.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM, United StatesIt was a pleasure to have Sumiaki as my tour guide. After he picked me up at the hotel we used subway to go to all locations that I requested. First we went to Tsukiji Outer Market which is very picturesque. Then we took a Water Bus to Asakusa and went to the Tokyo Skytree. Then we went to Asakusa and visited Nakamise-dori Street and the renowned Senso-ji Temple which should be included whenever visiting Tokyo. I had a marvelous and memorable day.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much, Charles! I also enjoyed my guiding for you. I was very impressed by your enthusiasm to take pictures. Have a good trip over Japan!

ItalyWe did the tour with a van which was very nice since we could still walk around a lot but we had the chance to talk and rest on the van. Sumiyaki was very polite and informative, all in all a good experience!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your review, Laura! I'm sure you had a good trip over Japan.

United StatesSumiaki took us all over Tokyo using various modes of transportation. We would have never seen all that we did on our own. Sumi knows his way around ! He gave us a choice of destinations and we were able to visit 5 of them. The gardens were beautiful and saw lots of cherry blossoms. Be prepared for lots of walking. As he states, he is not fluent but advanced in English. He was easy to understand. It was a great day with Sumiaki.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your kind review. I also could guide you very happily as you had a deep interest in Japanese history and culture and a deep knowledge of them. I’m sure you are enjoying the ancient capital, Kyoto.

United KingdomWe had a brilliant day tour with Kenji. he met us with a taxi for the day which was just as well as the weather wasn't great - but we saw SO much. There were lots of tourists out and Kenji got us through the many people. He was so knowledgeable and we really appreciated the day he spent with us.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I'm sorry I'm not Kenji, so please delete this rating and review. Thank you in advance, Sumiaki

United StatesTOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your warm feedback, and I’m so sorry I missed twice when we got on train lines. Usually I never fail it, but yesterday I made a careless mistake. I hope you have a nice trip for Himeji today.
