Free walking tours in Akihabara

Unfortunately Tiago had to cancel on the morning of the tour

We had a great time on this Akihabara walking tour with Tiago. The tour focused on exploring different shops and diving into manga, anime, and otaku culture, and it was honestly the perfect balance between accessible and in-depth. We’re not experts at all, but Tiago made everything easy to understand while still going deep into the history, trends, and little details that make the area so special. You can really tell he’s passionate and extremely knowledgeable about the topic. He contacted us in advance to ask about our interests and preferences, which was a very thoughtful touch, and during the tour he was always attentive and happy to adapt. He even went out of his way to help us try to find an item that was sold out, putting in real effort instead of just brushing it off — very much appreciated. Overall, a super engaging, informative, and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended if you want to understand Akihabara beyond just walking into random shops.

Fue un recorrido muy interesante, respondió a mis expectativas. Además, Tiago me dio muchos consejos útiles !

Tour was nice. Tiago definitely knows the stuff. He provides good advise on where to buy figures and all this kind of stuff my kids are interested on. For me which I am not really into this anime thing, made me understand a bit more about this world

Tiago was our tour guide for the Akihabara tour and he definitely knew his stuff.

Desafortunadamente y a pesar de haber reservado con mucha antelación, el guía se canceló el mismo día porque se encontraba mal

Tiago was an excellent guide who perfectly guided us through all of the stores that our anime and k-pop obsessed teenagers were looking for. We would definitely recommend him to everyone!

It was really nice walking around and getting to see the neighbourhood and some info about specific topics. We got to see a lot of Akihabara in just this small amount of time. Thanks again Tiago!

Tiago was a great tour guide and we definitely recommend this tour. I really appreciated that he provided the tour even though only my girlfriend and I signed up at the time. He is extremely knowledgeable and eager to share all information we wanted. The route he planned was a very nice selection of venues to give us a well-rounded view of Akihabara. Thank you Tiago!

Tiago was a great tour guide, not only we visited a lot of places in Akihabara, he told us the part of the story of the district. He was always upbeat and ready to answer any question! He even helped us looking for specific figures we wanted to buy! I can't reccoment the tour enough!

Very nice tour, lots of places to buy anime and manga stuff, I would recommend specially if you are into anime and want to buy something related while in Japan

I had no idea how big the merch and anime industry is in Japan! Tiago showed me everything! From futuristic arcades, to a store selling unlimited digital cameras, endless figurine shops from high end to low end. And I can tell he got a huge kick out of my shock every time he took me to another shop. He himself is a figurine collector so was able to answer so many questions about the industry. And he gave me some of the backstory about the Akihabara area plus food recommendations.

Tiago was the guide for my tour of Akihabara. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things anime and electronics. There lots of interesting facts and he catered the tour to my interests. Would diffinetly recommend!!!

Tiago, aviso que el tour se suspendía , y me mando info para recorrer yo

Nos hizo un recorrido por el barrio que nos gustó mucho. Todo muy detallado y hacía un gran esfuerzo en que entendieras bien las cosas que veías, dando varios ejemplos. Respondió todas las preguntas que tuvimos y nos indicó sitios de gran interés.

On our last day in Tokyo we decided to learn more about “ anime “ and booked with Guru an afternoon at Akihabara.Tiago was willing to take us around with only the two of us! Very friendly, informative and his personal touch gave us a rich experience of this big business in Japan. Recommend to those that love it or amateurs like us willing to learn something new.Thanks Tiago Sent from my iPhone

We had a good experience with Tiago as he took us to places most relevant for our daughter’s interest in Anime Manga

Tiago was very friendly and helpful, he took me to different places in Akihabara depending on what I was interested in. It turned out to be a very customized toured. For someone that is not familiar with the anime culture it was nice to have someone showing me around. Would be also interesting to get more information about the industry and to hear more curious stories around popular characters.

Tiago was kind and gave us a lot of tips, it was fun experiance, we went to the main stuff in akihabra. It was amazing

Very otaku tour

Espectacular guía! Tiene un gran conocimiento de la zona y al ver que íbamos con niños, nos personalizó el tour. Desde sitios emblemáticos, lugares de compras tanto baratas como de calidad, rincones insólitos, explicaciones de la cultura anime y manga, cosplay, cafés tematizados de sirvientas francesas y de mascotas... todo genial. Con detalles a los padres de zonas adultas, bar de degustación de sakes, etc. Todo lo que preguntamos, respondía! Y luego fue muy considerado con las alergias alimentarias de mi hija, que son bastantes. Fuimos a almorzar a un sitio super barato y bien para todos. Altamente recomendable!!!!

Tiago was super nice and had a lot of recommendation for everything (cool shops, food and a lot of anima feature places). It was a great experience.
