Great Tokyo tour from Mizuho
Mizuho was cheerful and informative. She made the experience wonderful for me and my wife. Shishido-san was a great driver and gave us a smooth ride.
J
Good trip
Mizuho was a great tour guide! I enjoyed the matcha experience and the sensoji temple.
S
Best tour if you have...
Best tour if you have just one day in Japan. Ms. Mizuho was very cheerful, kind and helpful right from the moment our tour started. We visited Meiji Shrine, Imperial Palace, Sensoji shrine, Tokyo Sky tree tower and the ferry ride. As a once in a lifetime activity, this was a very memorable experience. We wish you come back to Japan again and experience this wonderful place better.

Full day Tokyo city Tour
It was a fantastic experience.Our guide Mizuho was energetic & very friendly. She ensured everyone in the group is well taken care off. One suggestion if the trip can be started little late , so that people coming from other cities can also join in the morning.
