Amazing Tokyo Tour with Jeremy

Jeremy was a fantastic tour guide during my time in Tokyo as well as on a day trip to Mt Fuji. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and really made our time in Tokyo special. His deep understanding of Japanese culture and history added a special touch to every stop, from hidden local gems to famous landmarks.
