I am a true Parisian of 62 years old. I have been in Japan for 16 years, having traveled all over the world. I lived on the island of Saint-Martin in the French Antilles, in Miami, and also in Caracas. I traveled extensively on the African continent, in Indonesia, and of course in almost all of Europe. Throughout my life, I have worked on sailboats, been an illustrator, a teacher, and a chef. I am self-taught and an entrepreneur. I returned to France and worked for 15 years in the high-end leather fashion industry, in the shadow of the great French designers. I bounced back into real estate in Paris for 10 years, before finding myself in Tokyo. I finally decided to settle there, motivated by the desire to see my children grow up and share every precious moment with them. Now that they have gained autonomy, I opened a French bistro next to my house, but I had to close it due to Covid-19. Two years have passed and I have burned through my savings. I seized the opportunity to bounce back and embark on the career of a self-employed tourist guide. And from one thing to another, I have come to you. I know almost all the neighborhoods of Tokyo because I have walked its streets, explored every corner. I improve my tours every time, based on the starting point and your recommendations. Angela B Marc was the most fabulous guide. He is so knowledgeable about all the different neighborhoods in Tokyo and is very open to hearing your ideas and working with your interests so you can get the most from the experience. Our tour was just me and my 11-year old daughter. Marc made it so much fun! It was actually her birthday and we took her for a special lunch along the way and found some great little shops and lookout points around the City. Marc was even kind enough to meet up with us and his own daughter later in our trip and our kids had so much fun hanging out. We got to visit more authentic places and parts of the City off the beaten track for us. This tour and the time we spent with Marc and his daughter afterwards were the absolute highlight of our trip. I highly recommend it!! I just hope you can walk fast, haha! An excellent tour of specific sites in Shibuya with some added visits to beautiful and significant historical sites. Our guide gave us perspectives and views of Tokyo which were informative and enlightening. In addition he helped us with a specific request to purchase a kitchen knife. March 2024 Angela B Amanda R Marc took us to some places we would never have even thought of going to and really made a great day for our holiday! After the tour he even sent us some recommendations for other places to visit for the next few days of our trip! March 2024 Ben T He took such good care of us. He showed us not just the touristy places but also where locals go. We highly recommend booking a tour with Marc. March 2024 Mel G Marc is a very thoughtful, polite and experienced tour guide. He customized our tour based on our personal interests and curiosities. We highly recommend Marc! March 2024 Craig C We had fun with Marc on our tour through Tokyo. He was good at knowing off the beaten path recommendations, but even better filling in the time in between the sights with interesting stops. He was interesting and fun and we would highly recommend him. March 2024 Tucker H I would to thank Marc for the incredible personal tour of Tokyo. It was an absolute fun spending those six hours exploring the city with him. His extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for Tokyo truly made the experience exceptional. Not only did we manage to cover so much ground within 6hrs time frame, but i also had the opportunity to experience the local culture. The highlight for me was undoubtedly visiting the local office workers’ eating place. It was a unique and authentic experience that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of Tokyo’s daily life. Again, I thank you and wish your dream comes true on your sharing of Okinawa. January 2024 Sam Y Mark is very knowledgeable and experienced as a guide. Only thing we regret is that we picked only 3 hours tour. It took me couple weeks reviewing taken pictures to realize how many places we visited and how much we learned in those 3h. Thanks, Mark. On another note, on that day my steps count exceeded the one I had on a hike in Grand Canion. Wow! October 2023 Tamara P My wife and I visited Tokyo on a one day stop from our cruise ship. when we booked the trip, we were sent a questionnaire asking what we wanted to see. Since we were unfamiliar with Tokyo, we left the itinerary up to the guide. We met Marc at a train station not far from where our ship was docked. We walked the streets of Tokyo, toured the Meiji Jingu Temple, visited an outdoor food market are where we sampled and purchased several delicious items. Later we visited the Ginza shopping district. Marc was a great guide, he was able to provide good insight on living and working in Tokyo. He was able to answer any questions we asked. Definitly would recommend. October 2023 Michael J Abbiamo fatto un tour di 4 ore con Marc. Il tour è stato molto piacevole e per niente pesante. Un nota la merita la nostra guida Marc, simpatico, molto preparato, il tempo con lui è volato. We did a 4 hour tour with Marc. The tour was very pleasantThe tour was very pleasant and not at all difficult. Our guide Marc deserves a note, friendly, very knowledgeable, the time with him flew by. September 2023 Diego S In our 3-hour tour around Tokyo, our guide Marc led us to both popular sights and hidden gems. More of a feeling the vibe of the city rather than a typical history tour. If you get the chance, I definitely recommend it. July 2023 Maria M It was a personalized tour by finding the small locations in the very large city. Little and peaceful places not accesible to everyone due to the specific location not easy reachable. July 2023 Roberto B
