Tokyo with Jero

We had an amazing time with Jero. He took us to see parts of Tokyo we surely would have missed on our own. He was engaging while being informative. Would highly recommend his tour! The whole family enjoyed him, and the tour!

Best your guide hands down.

I got the best information that Jero can provide. He was very informative, very knowledgeable, helpful and thoughtful. I recommend Jero 100 times over to anyone who comes to Japan. He’s the real deal. Thank you my man.

Outstanding Tour for All Ages!

We had an incredible experience on this private curated Tokyo tour with our guides, Jero and Robin. In just five hours, they showed us many of Tokyo’s highlights while sharing fascinating insights into Japanese culture, customs, and traditions. Their knowledge made every stop so much more meaningful. What truly set this tour apart was their patience and attentiveness. We were traveling as a multi-generational family, ranging from a 16-year-old to my 80-year-old mother, and Jero and Robin perfectly adapted the pace to suit everyone. They never made us feel rushed and were especially thoughtful and caring toward my elderly mother, making sure she was comfortable throughout the tour. Their flexibility, professionalism, and genuine kindness made this one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. If you’re looking for a personalized, educational, and stress-free introduction to Tokyo, I highly recommend this tour and hope you’re lucky enough to have Jero and Robin as your guides!

Book with confidence - master of his craft

Jero was phenomenal! Book him with confidence. An absolute gentleman who is wonderful at his craft. He’s a wonderful story teller and has tremendous depth of Japan. His viewpoint is informed and well rounded providing a comprehensive experience of Japan. Our family does a good amount of traveling and Jero was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Thank you, Jero, for a memorable experience!

Jero gave us an excellent...

Jero gave us an excellent tour including Meiji Shrine and all around Shibuya and Shinjuku, showed us how to use the train and metro systems, accommodated our need to slow down and feed our eleven year old by directing us to an exceptional ramen bar, and talked to us extensively about Japanese culture and life. He took many fun photos of our family at various sites and was focused on ensuring that we got what we wanted out of our tour. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience!

Our Tokyo tour with Franz was an amazing experience and honestly felt more like spending the day with a friend than being on a tour. Our guide was incredibly fun, easygoing, and made the entire experience memorable, and Jero and Hana were such a great time to be around as well. We saw so many great spots around the city and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo.

The best tour we have taken on our Asia travels this year !

On our first day, I have booked the 6h tour of Tokyo, in order to learn about the local transport and to get to familiar with the place before we start exploring alone. Very shortly after the booking Jero was in touch with me to ask if I had any questions and was very helpful. Even before the tour started, I was really happy with the customer service provided. On the day, our guide Vanessa who spoke English and German as well as Japanese was absolutely incredible, providing background knowledge on the places we visited with just right amount of info on history and present situation. But most importantly we thanks to her we have managed to see SO MUCH ! In those short 6 hours we have seen Meiji Shrine, Takeshita street, Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku , we took metro to Asakusa where we have seen the Sky tower, Omoide Yokocho, Senso-ji temple and my son also wanted to see Harajuku so that was our last stop. In short , without Vanessa we would have never managed to see so much in such a short time, I definitely recommend this tour it is worth every penny!
