• Marc was so knowledgeable and took us to places we never would have found on our own. We were able to bypass tourist lines and go to places only locals would know about. Marc had a lot of special ideas no other guides would have taken us on saving lots of time and money and we had a fabulous time exploring the city with him! Make sure you get Marc as your guide!

• We had so much fun and were able to cover a lot of ground in the city, discovering things that we never would have on our own. Marc took us to special places with great views, great food and taught us how to navigate the city.

• My guide was Marc Paris, he was very friendly, we covered a lot of ground chancing upon some surprising sights and his knowledge of the area of Tokyo was spot on, finished the tour at an izakaya bar, which he was friends with the owner, highly recommend.

  Marc was great. His fast-paced tour of Tokyo with a few unique twists was exactly what we wanted since we only had 4 hours to see the city. He was fun and pleasant to be with and exceeded our expectations.

  The four hour tour with Marc was excellent. On our arrival to Tokyo we were feeling overwhelmed with the size of the city and where to start our sight seeing. This was made easier by Marc’s knowledge and tips about Tokyo. We saw so much in the four hours. I would definitely recommend this tour to any first timer to Tokyo!

  We booked a tour with Mark and we are lucky we did. Mark is very knowledgeable and experienced as a guide. Only thing we regret is that we picked only 3 hours tour. It took me couple weeks reviewing taken pictures to realize how many places we visited and how much we learned in those 3h. Thanks, Mark. On another note, on that day my steps count exceeded the one I had on a hike in Grand Canion. Wow!

  My wife and I visited Tokyo on a one day stop from our cruise ship. when we booked the trip, we were sent a questionnaire asking what we wanted to see. Since we were unfamiliar with Tokyo, we left the itinerary up to the guide. We met Marc at a train station not far from where our ship was docked. We walked the streets of Tokyo, toured the Meiji Jingu Temple, visited an outdoor food market are where we sampled and purchased several delicious items. Later we visited the Ginza shopping district. Marc was a great guide, he was able to provide good insight on living and working in Tokyo. He was able to answer any questions we asked. Definitly would recommend.

  Abbiamo fatto un tour di 4 ore con Marc. Il tour è stato molto piacevole e per niente pesante. Un nota la merita la nostra guida Marc, simpatico, molto preparato, il tempo con lui è volato. We did a 4 hour tour with Marc. The tour was very pleasant and not at all difficult. Our guide Marc deserves a note, friendly, very knowledgeable, the time with him flew by.

  In our 3-hour tour around Tokyo, our guide Marc led us to both popular sights and hidden gems. More of a feeling the vibe of the city rather than a typical history tour. If you get the chance, I definitely recommend it.

  In our 3-hour tour, we got the chance to visit both popular sights and hidden gems in Tokyo. Marc helped with various practical questions we had and suggested other places we could visit. More of a feeling the vibe of Tokyo rather than a classic history tour.

  It was a personalized tour by finding the small locations in the very large city. Little and peaceful places not accesible to everyone due to the specific location not easy reachable.

  Marc was so excited to show his city, Tokyo. Even though we did not have a lot of time, he managed to squeeze in many of the famous Tokyo sites. Plus, he gave us many other ideas for the next time we came to Tokyo. Well done, Marc!

  Marc was able to meet us at the airport so that we could all take the train together. This was a very last minute plan on my part. But Marc was able to bring us to lots of perfect spots, including Asakusa temple and market, a lovely park with lotus plants (not quite time to bloom), electric city, and much more. Had a great meal, too! Need to go back and write down all the wonderful places we went! Marc went out of his way to meet dietary needs, too. He gave us plenty of cultural tidbits along the way. And he got us onto the right train back to the airport with plenty of time collect our hand bags from lockers and get back through security. With more than enough time to be comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!

  It was very nice receiving this tour by Marc. Marc is a friendly fellow, and he knows what he is talking about. He knows what you want, and he knows good places to go to. Not only the very known places, but also the unknown ones. Was very glad that he was my touring guide. Very thrust worthy!

  Marc dialed in quickly and figured our exactly what we wanted to do and where to take us. He speaks great English and was very easy to be with. Great day exploring different areas of Tokyo we would never have discovered on our own.
