This tour satisfied both the nerd in the family and those who were more interested in opportune photo-ops. We enjoyed the secret spots the tour shared, and were able to pause the tour to sample foods or explore locations to our hearts' content. I highly recommend this tour for all types of travelers. It's well-paced enough to keep things interesting but also the directions are clear enough that you don't get lost, or if you do get turned around, you're back on track within minutes.
The your of Little Tokyo was great! I felt unsafe going to Chinatown and Koreatown on foot. Also once I got to the DoubleTree the directions were unclear as to where to find a sign with all of the places in the world. If there is a way to listen to the rest of the tour without being stopped by the gps location I would still like to listen to the rest of the tour. The narration was great and I learned a lot about the area. The hidden gems of the mochi and the Edo garden are things I will be spreading the word about.
Great little tour! This is my 3rd event through Viator and I have loved them all! I always learn something new!
