Guiding since 2025Hello everyone!
My name is Mila
and I am excited to share my beloved Tokyo with you!
I am Ukrainian 🇺🇦, but for the past 24 years, Tokyo has been my vibrant home.
This unique perspective—being both an outsider and a long-time local—allows me to show you the city in a deeply personal and authentic way.
Traveling is my passion, and for many years I have channeled this love into my own Travel Blog
. I understand what it means to be a curious visitor, and I know exactly what fascinating details are often missed by guidebooks.
Above all, I love people! My greatest joy is connecting with others and sharing the magic of Tokyo, from its hidden temples and serene gardens to its bustling backstreets and incredible food scenes.
I don't just guide; I share the city I have lived, loved, and explored for over two decades. Join me to see Tokyo through the eyes of someone who truly calls it home, and let’s create unforgettable memories together!
🚨 MY TWO GOLDEN RULES:
1. MANDATORY PRE-TOUR CALL
I DO NOT CONDUCT TOURS WITHOUT A PRIOR BRIEF CALL.
We must talk first to discuss your preferences and make sure we are on the same page.
🛑 2. HEAVY RAIN CANCELLATION
IN CASE OF HEAVY RAIN, I DO NOT CONDUCT TOURS.
Your comfort and experience come first. Walking under pouring rain is not fun for anyone, so we either reschedule or cancel.
