Tokyo All Must Sees
Michael_H, 09-01-2023
Fumi was a wonderful guide. He took care to ensure we saw everything and was well informed. He took many pictures and even bought us some sweets. Highly recommend this tour to all Tokyo first time visitors. Fumi really set our trip off to a great start
Very efficient tour of Tokyo

Moura our guide was super nice and funny. Great experience especially if you spend 1 day in Tokyo. Very efficient tour to see the top attractions in Tokyo
Definitely worth it if it’s your first time in Japan.

Muchan was our tour guide and made our visit very memorable! It was well worth the money. Recommend for anyone who’s first time visit in Japan. We saw so many things we wouldn’t had seen if it wasn’t for this tour. Muchan was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. She was eager to show us around and give us the history on each location. We walked a lot that day so be prepared! Definitely would book again for future Japan visit. Thank you, Muchan!
Excellent for Tokyo First-time visitors!

We chose this tour because it covered 3 places on our Tokyo bucket list but we also enjoyed the 2 other places too (Meiji Jingu Shrine, Tokyo Tower, Tsukiji Fish Market, Imperial Palace, and Senso-ji Temple).

There is a lot of walking so be sure to wear comfortable shoes, we each had over 20,000 steps and walked almost 11 miles this day. There are a lot of photo opportunities on this excursion and informative Tokyo history. The only bummer was the Tsukiji Fish Market was mostly closed due to New Year holiday so just be sure to check for any potentially closures for the tour date you pick.

Also, our guide Masami was very friendly and treated us as if we were his visiting family members - Japan hospitality at its finest. He frequently checks in with you to make sure you are having a fun and enjoyable time and will go out of his way to help you. Before the tour, we were so overwhelmed with the Tokyo subway system, but Masami helped teach us and took us on almost all of the different Tokyo lines on tour.

TLDR: I would highly recommend this tour to any new Japan visitors especially if you’re looking for extra help with public transit or getting around Tokyo.
Amazing Tour Guide!

Such a good Tour. Our guide was Yukiko and she was just amazing. Its a long tour and it rained but she was so cheerful and upbeat. When she found out my husband has an interest in bonsai and Japanese trees she had us take a detour to see ginkgo Ave, which ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Tokyo. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions that we had which was also impressive.
The tour itself is very good, but it's long and you should wear very comfortable shoes.
