Thank you so much Nicki! The daytour last Monday was super! We really enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully we’ll be able to do it again some time!
Hi Nikki thanks for the nice tour during our visit in Tokyo. You definitely provided extra information that the books do not say. Arigatou!
Enjoyed a wonderful day together with Nicki in Tokyo. We met her at the appointed time at Tokyo station. She is so punctual. From there we started our day with her. After we bought our subway daypass, nothing was in our way. Nicki took us to temples, parks and other sights. The famous ‘cross road’ in Shibuta, the typical neighbourhoods, time went by so quickly! On the way you pass those special places where Nicki recommends you should eat, she tells you all you ever wanted to know about a specific sight or something remarkable she passes on the street, which you would otherwise had missed. Nicki lives in Tokyo for several years. Even though we had agreed we would only do a half day package, we enjoyed our time with her so much, we decided to spend the afternoon with her as well. Not losing any time figuring out where to go, Nicki really knows her way in the immens subway stations with numerous exits. Definitely no ‘Lost in translation’ experiences when she is by your side to make sure everything runs smoothly. She has such a good grasp on the Japanese language, that even the Japanese compliment her on her excelent language skills. Nicki has ready made package tours, but if there is anything or anywhere specific you want to go to, that is not mentioned on her website, all you need to do is ask (preferably a bit in advance). I can really recommend you spend the day with this Dutch Blond lady and if you have any room in your luggage left over, she really appreciates a bottle of bubble bath! Apparently the Japanese kind does not produce any foam. Nicki, thanks!
Together with Nicki I took a tour through Tokyo. I had a great time. Together with two other KLM colleagues I had agreed to do a tour with Nicki and two others joined us that morning. In total we had a great group of five people which Nicki led through Tokyo. We saw more in one day than we could have managed by ourselves in several. From Omotesando to Akihabara, Nicki showed us the way without fault and knew the best spots to see the most amazing things. During the day we stopped for lunch at a cute little organic restaurant. Those are the special touches only a local can show you. I would have never found the place by myself! We even saw a pachinko parlor from the inside! Whatever compels those people to sit in that racket all day long beats me! Really an experience on its own. All in all I can definitely recommend to book a tour with Nicki. If you have little time and want to see a lot then she can show you all the best spots!
Just arrived back from an amazing 2-weeks vacation in Japan and we couldn’t have started it better than with a ‘Tokiotour’ on our second day: got introduced with the JR train and Tokyo Metro system, walked the shopping streets of Omotesando/Harajuku encountering people in fantasy outfits with creative hair styles, settled down for a lunch at a sunny terrace (outdoor eating, a curiosity in Tokyo!) and got some great tips for our evening program, even for a conveniently located ryokan in Kyoto :) In short, highly recommended to start off your holidays!
Just going through all the nice pictures we’ve made during two super days in Tokyo with Nicki. I can absolutely recommend it for people who have little time and want to get a good impression of what this dynamic city has to offer to use Nicki as a guide. She knows the way, speaks the language and knows a lot about Japanese culture! Thank you for the lovely days! Peter and Boris
We had two great days in Tokyo with Nicki! She took us on a trip through Tokyo to visit and experience all the high lights the city offers. A recommendation to everyone visiting Tokyo! Thanks Nicki,
Paul & Anja
Recently we spent two fine days during a three day stop over with Nicki. We booked several tours and it is truly wonderful, especially with +8 hours time difference to just follow Nicki throughout Tokyo, without having to find anything out for yourself. Nicki’s greatest strenght is that she is really flexible and adjusts her schedule according to the weather when deciding where to go throughout the city. Nicki also knows a lot of background information. One thing that is key to discuss what is included in the tour and what is not in regards to entrance to museums and such.
I wish every one a pleasurable stay in Tokyo and a wonderful trip with Nicki while discovering this amazing city. We look back to a satisfying experience!

Last year I had the pleasure of having Nicki as a tour guide. The biggest benefit is that she speaks Japanese! Almost nothing is written in English. Besides that she is super friendly and helpful. She has a keen sense for finding the most interesting things to see and do and if not she does not rest until she finds it. So if you are planning to go to Tokyo, you really should hire Nicki as your guide!
We did the ‘A shoppers paradise’ tour with five persons. Shopping tour is not exactly the right name for it in my opinion. We went to a beautiful temple Meiji Jingu, experienced the crowds and watched the beautiful people go by in Harajuku street. We got a good impression of Tokyo with a fun explanation about life in this metropolis between 9 AM and 1 PM.
