Tokio Frühlings-Tagestour (Kirschblüte)

The meeting location on the Yamanote line was easy to get to and the tour guide Diante was there early ready and waiting. He had lots of interesting information about the area and we tasted delicious street food down the main shopping road - Yanaka Ginza. We walked around the neighbourhood, saw lots of cherry blossom and had our picnic in a park. He was aware of the mobility issues within the group and made adjustments accordingly. One of the tour members had a seafood allergy so our bento picnic food was chosen by us each individually from a combini. This was understandable but disappointing considering the price of the tour. I had envised a beautiful bento box. The tour guide took lots of photos, happily answered questions and had a bright and friendly personality. If not for him, I would have considered the tour hugely overpriced.

A group of 5 took this tour as a way to experience the Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo. This is one of the most unique and fun tours I have ever experienced. After meeting our outstanding tour director Kay, we were take on a stroll and were able to experience unique local shops and food while enjoying the Cherry Blossoms and local sights. We also were treated to a fantastic lunch at beautiful local restaurant then enjoying a picnic of desserts beneath the Cherry Blossoms. Our tour director Kay was able to give us great lessons in history and local culture that we could never have learned on our own. By the end of the tour we had all made a new friend in Kay and were grateful that we were able to spend our time with her. I highly recommend this tour and I am quite certain all the their tours are this well planned and enjoyable.

While the weather was cold and raining, not ideal for a walking food tour our guild Wesley was amazing and took great care of us. He was a wealth of knowledge! He adjusted his plans to keep us out of the rain and we had an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

Even though it was a rainy, cold day, our tour was amazing! Our tour guide Wesley, had so much information about the area & Tokyo. The food was great too and we got lots of fun photos.

On a recent trip to Japan we attended 4 different tours with arigato and each one was fantastic. We had 3 different guides and each of them were welcoming and entertaining and really well informed. We learnt so much and ate so much too! Would definitely recommend.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun. She also did a fantastic job adjusting to our interests and food allergies. She obviously loves Tokyo and made sure to convey her enthusiasm and also that our time in Tokyo outside the tour was well spent by recommending several activities to do. We saw several areas of sakura (we were so fortunate to have hit the peak sakura time!) and also visited numerous shops along the way, eating our way down the street, trying all kinds of native food, each at her favorite little shop. A fantastic way to spend a few hours and one of the best guides ever.

Awesome experience to get to know a not so touristic area of Tokyo (which is something great), eat local food and get to know aspects of the everyday lives of Tokyo. Also you get a lot of tips to improve your experience throughout your travel.
