Great tour. Jaime had excellent knowledge of the area and was able to understand what we wanted to see and take us there. He was helpful in communicating in Japanese what we wanted and translating for us at all locations. Highly recommended/Altamente recomendable.

Jaime was an excellent guide for our family of two adults and two primary-aged children. We got the authentic Japanese experience, and he catered to our needs, including everything we asked for. He knew his way around the city, is fluent in Japanese and English, and had a well pre-planned itinerary which was adjustable to what we wanted to do. We would highly recommend Tokyo Dream Tours for anyone looking for a private tour of Tokyo.

As described, Jaime met my wife and me and our two kids (18 and 21) at our hotel in Tokyo and was an incredible guide for the entire day. Jaime has a very unique offering with this tour as it covers areas not popular with tourists, and it catered great to our kids' interests. Jaime was super accommodating and did a great job of engaging with our kids to learn their preferences and cater the tour accordingly. Happy kids (yes, still our grown "Kids") makes happy parents. Lunch was at the Ikebukuro NIKU Gekijo, and it was excellent. Compliments to Jaime for having great taste in food. Those picky eaters in our group gave it a thumbs up! My wife and I enjoyed the Japanese clothing brands and even went back later in the week to make some purchases. Kids found all sorts of Anime and Action Figures. If you're in Tokyo and need to find places off the beaten path, this is the tour for you. I have never used a guide before but will from now on. Jaime made my day stress-free and efficient by not having to plan the day in a place that we don't know and having to get lost. Domo Arigato Jaime!
