The tour with Alejandro was amazing. We are frequent travellers to Japan and he showed us a side to Tokyo that we had never seen before and would never have been able to access as non - Japanese speakers. He clearly has strong ties in the community and his good cheer, good sense of humour and respect for local culture allowed us to enjoy the city in a really unexpected and authentic way. 2 thumbs up and highly recommended!!
