I requested a private tour of West Tokyo and Gulay did not disappoint. She picked me up from my hotel and took me to all my requested places and more. Do not hesitate to book with Gulay. She is very kind and personable. Our day was even better than I anticipated.
Our time shopping with Gulay was amazing! She was easily able to hone in on exactly what I was looking for. We got to experience a few new areas of Tokyo, including Nakhon broadway, which we would not have visited without her guidance. Her English is so good, she is young and trendy and just very fun to be around. I could have easily done a whole day tour with her! She even pointed out some amazing food spots; thanks to her we had some of the best sushi after our day shopping. Thank you for the fun experience, Gulay!
We had a wonderful time with this guide, who took us through a local’s perspective of Tokyo neighborhoods, and also give us tips for the rest of our stay in Japan!
My family and I were incredibly impressed with the care and attention to detail that Gulay displayed during our 2 days of tours. She was attentive and flexible to our needs, as well made sure to give everyone individual attention. We did one day city tour with her and then 2 days later we went on the vintage shopping tour with her. I was able to find and purchase a 1962 King Seiko watch due to her effort In finding a vintage watch store that sold them. I would highly recommend booking with her when you are in Tokyo. Thank you David and Family
