We had a taxi driver in Aomori to take us up to the Lake Towada area to fly fish, hike, sight see, and have lunch. It was complicated in that we don’t speak Japanese and our driver didn’t speak English. Google Translate was a huge help. We were able to get a fishing license and find out where we could fish, and hike. The driver was very nice and accommodating. It turned out to be a really nice day.

Leandra was amazing from the very beginning. She kept me updated before the tour, so I always knew what to expect, and when we met, it felt like exploring Kawagoe with a friend. She was so friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely wanted to make the day special. She checked in throughout the tour to see if there was anything specific I wanted to do or see. I mentioned that my mom had asked me to bring home temple prayer beads, and she immediately looked up a nearby temple so we could make a stop. It wasn't on the itinerary, but she went out of her way to make it happen, and I really appreciated that personal touch. The itinerary was the perfect mix of history, culture, and time to wander. Seeing the wind chime festival at Hikawa Shrine was beautiful, strolling through the historic streets of Little Edo was like stepping back in time, and Candy Alley was such a fun place to explore. It was also an extremely hot day, but Leandra made sure we never felt rushed. She kept a comfortable pace, found opportunities for us to cool off, and made sure we took breaks along the way. She was always checking to make sure I was comfortable, and those little acts of kindness made such a difference. If you're thinking about booking a tour with Leandra, do it. She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, flexible, and truly cares about giving you an experience that's tailored to you. This was one of my favorite days in Japan, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide.

Wendy was an awesome tour guide for our "express" yet customized day trip to Teotihuacan! We had a group of ten including a grandparent in her mid-70s and five kids ages 7-12. The whole trip was simple and stress-free booking with Wendy: from the private car AirBnb pick up, to the tailored, narrated tour of the main pyramids, to our request to have lunch at La Gruta. She provided lots of historical context and also cultural context throughout our car ride and the tour. It was the perfect amount for our group, and we recommend her highly!

Gute Auswahl, einfacher Aufbau und Kommunikation hat bisher immer gut geklappt.

I arranged to get myself to Aomori by train and see the Nembuta museum on my own time so pick up was at 10am. I then went to the 2 art galleries and the rice paddy art. I was then driven home (to Misawa). It was a long day but made easy and a good price considering the time and distance covered. Would recommend, no complaints.

If you have ever heard that the people of Japan are hospitable, that is an understatement. Dai is 2nd to none when it comes to efficiency, timeliness, and hospitality. He took the time to look at our itinerary and ensure we were able to see everything by organizing in an efficient manner. He ensured we reached every train on time but never felt rushed. He encouraged our children to explore and explained the landmarks we were visiting and made it fun and not a history lesson. He found local food spots so we could experience authentic Japanese food. When he felt our hesitation on navigating the train system back to the airport, he rode with us all the way to Narita (60 min), only to get back on the train to go home. His hospitality and dedication to his craft, made our trip one of the most memorable we ever had. He is an exemplary guide and we are so grateful for him. If you book your tour with him, you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed! :)

We had a great time with Peter. He picked us up promptly and mad just the right adjustments to the tour for us and we were on our way.

Tomoko was awesome on time in picking me up @ the airport to the train station all the way to my platform going to Toyama & also she was right there @ platform coming back from Toyama to Narita airport thank you so much

I am always skeptical about a service where all communication is via the web. This one is real, and they make it so easy to get started and decide on which guide you would like to use, and from that point on, you are communicating with that guide. I had researched what we wanted to do, where we wanted to go, and the dates I was planning on going. Our guide was so helpful, she designed a perfect one-day trip and then another half-day trip. Once I was done with the planning, I received the quote and then paid for the services. Our guide Kumiko was outstanding, the best English-speaking guide in Japan we have ever had. I highly recommend Go With Guide; the whole experience from start to finish was excellent.

We traveled to Auschwitz and Birkenau, as well as Kielce and Checiny. Even hough Kielce was a new destination for him, our guide, Michael, made himself knowledgeable about the history, and promoted a dialogue with ourselves and locals. He prepared and communicated with us for several weeks before the trips, during the trips, and even afterward. He was open, honest, flexible, and committed to our experience. Highly recommended!

Grant was incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

Our driver was on time, very friendly, and had a very nice car for our family of four. Although he did not speak English, we communicated without problem using Google translate. We would have never have been able to visit the Fuji Motorsports museum traveling from Hakone without this excellent service. We were very appreciative of our driver.

Easy to communicate with guide and see the proposed plans, make payment, and see other reviews.

"Shawn from GoWithGuide gave me an amazing day in Kobe. He planned everything perfectly —from the walk around Arima and my visit to the onsen to wandering around the herb gardens and eating Japanese curry at CoCo. We went to extra places along the way outside of what was listed in the trip too. What really stood out was how much local knowledge he shared about Kobe and living in Japan and how genuinely he cared about giving me an authentic experience. He was easy to talk to the entire time and was always looking out for me. Highly recommended!"

This was probably the best way to experience Berlin. Joerg was knowledgeable and made us feel at ease from the moment we started. He was accessible, patient with our schedule and anytime we had a question, he was always ready to say, "Let's go see!"

Grant was tremendously helpful and a joy to tour with. I highly recommend working with Grant and would hire him again. My companion and I had 8 hours to see, eat, and buy as much as we could; we hired Grant to translate for us and to help us efficiently navigate the city. He speaks excellent Japanese, knew the best places to eat and shop, and even has an excellent knowledge of Japanese whisky!

I have booked with GoWithGuide 4 times and I was never disappointed. The tour guides were all awesome people. I highly recommend GoWithGuide.

One of the best family vacation that we had. Daslie is the most resourceful and considerate guide we’ve ever met. She is very proficient in both English and Mandarin which makes communication a breeze. The tour turned out well and everyone in our family enjoyed the tour and her company. I could tell that a lot of work went on behind her scenes. She pre-planned every tour, every detail and prepared for every contingency. She carries around a large backpack (must have been heavy!) with lots of stuffs to keep us comfortable, like fans and snacks in case anyone needs. She’s definitely well prepared. It must be her gentle nature and caring self that carried thru to the way she engages with everyone in the family and made everyone feel welcomed and at ease. As a result, we could focus on spending time and enjoying as a family and not having to worry about anything else. This valuable time together is something we treasure a lot. We could experience the many facets of Xiamen that we never would have seen by ourselves. Thank you, Daslie, for all the arrangements, for your friendship and most of all, for being you.

Had a great experience using GoWithGuide when we visited Japan- our guide, Asad, was very knowledgeable, professional, and also a lot of fun. He customized our trip and gave lots of recommendations for hidden gems and spots popular with locals. Definitely recommended

Our guide, Kei, was super informative and accommodating! Also, he is a pleasure to hang out with for the day. He took us to so many amazing sites around the island and we learned so much about Sado Island. Five stars for sure - would definitely recommend!!
