Private Tour Guide Yokohama with a Local: Kickstart your Trip, Personalized
Overview
Take Tokyo’s neon-lit skyscrapers, Osaka’s laid-back vibe, and Kyoto’s combination of old and new Japan, then mix them all with a fresh ocean breeze: that’s Yokohama.
The city is packed with diverse attractions that put the city on the map (and can’t even be found on a map). But fear not! One of our friendly hosts will help you get to grips with life in Yokohama. Whether it’s coming to terms with navigating the subway or exploring a neighborhood like Chinatown, your host is there to ensure not a second of your vacation goes to waste!
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Tommy was a perfect host in Yokohama. He was very personable and interesting to talk to. Unfortunately, I wasn’t prepared for so much walking with my arthritic knees, but Tommy was considerate in finding me places to sit along the way. I was relieved to have Tommy take the lead in what seemed like a complicated subway system. I really enjoyed the tour. He gentlemanly returned me to the hotel and helped with check-in. I was happy to have met him.Howardfish
