We had a wonderful day with Michiko. She took us to all the Tokyo highlights and explained the Japanese history and culture of each. We had a delicious lunch together in a hidden little Japanese restaurant in the main market and ended the day with drinks and appetizers.
If you want to see all of the sites in Tokyo, this is the best tour for you! Our excellent guide took us to every significant location and added special stops along the way. Michiko was great!
This was such a great tour and totally worth the price. A full day of sites to see and knowledge spread to us. Yasuko was such a great tour guide. We saw so much and learned so much from her. She’s very knowledgeable and sweet. What a great group we had.
This was a great tour! I am only in Tokyo for 2 days so this was a good way to see many of the popular sites while I’m here. Even if you are visiting longer, I think this tour gives a good overview at the beginning of your trip and then you can choose where you want to return to later in your trip. We had sunny weather but it was very windy. Thankfully some of our activities were inside so we could escape from the wind! There was a lot of walking, which we were warned about in the tour description, but be prepared for your legs to be very tired at the end! My guide was Michiko and she was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Her English was very good. She was also very good about offering breaks periodically and checking in with our group to see if we were doing okay. Overall it was a wonderful tour and I would recommend to others to take this tour!
So worth it! A very good game experience with good info, kind guide and good tempo. Especially good for your first or second day. Extra cred to Yasuko!
Our guide lady Yasuko ♥️ made our trip to Japan a magical experience. We travel around the world a lot but Yasuko make us to feel amazing 👏 and wellcome to this amazing day trip in Tokyo. I dont have words to describe the beautiful places and local most amazing time we ever have spend ; she give us so much from her knowledge and her way to explain every place we went to is just MAGICAL. I need to mention that we book a trip for a day but we will have a life time experience and my heart will allways have place for Tokyo Japan and AMAZING LADY YASUKO. i don't know who get the review but please let miss YASUKO knows that the way she do the trip with us THANK YOU from our side is nothing compares with her service. Just amazing lady and beautiful trip to book . If you are in Japan please is a MUST TO DO THIS 1 DAY TRIP .
All I can say is that this is the best tour we took in Japan. We saw literally more than we could ever imagine in one day, and many things we would have never seen had we not gone on this tour. Michiko was absolutely amazing as our guide and catered the tour to our preferences, making sure we had ample rest breaks and that we were able to get the most out of the full 10 hours. Book this tour!
I had a wonderful time with the guide Yasuko. She is so knowledgable and kept us interested all the time with her great explanations. We covered a lot in one day and were able to get to know Tokyo in depth.
This was a highly enjoyable and comprehensive One Day Trip through Tokyo. Our guide, Yasuko, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the various locations from describing the history and culture of shrines and temples to helping us interpret an izakaya bar menu. At first, we were hesitant to confirm since the weather forecast called for rain, but it proved to be a minor obstacle to our travels. In some cases, it even helped the atmosphere, creating a unique atmosphere for the various sites we passed. Overall, if this is your first trip to Tokyo and you want a one day overview of the major sites delivered by an expert, this is a great solution.
I arrived, by my own fault, at a different McDonald's than the one I should (tip for next participants: set the pin on the map and sent it to your phone; as for the the tour operator, you should give people the pin where to go to, not an address or a picture with the location, it will eliminate any doubt). I contacted the tour operator, saying that I am in other place and I need other 15 minutes to get there (that was after 2 minutes after the initial meetup time). I said not to wait for me, and I can meet with the others at any of the 15 stops on the city, during the whole 10 hours. I just got a single response saying I missed the initial start and I cannot join the tour. I also gave them my location (which was right at their next stop), but they didn't care. I gave them my WhatsApp nr, but no communication. I also asked them in the same day, and the day after, if I can join the tour any day in the next following 5 days. After 2 days I got a response, that I can join again, but I need to pay again. One of the worst experiences on TripAdvisor. For me is clear this tour operator's main goal is not to provide a good service to it's customers, but to take their money.
Thank you for writing us review, We are sorry that you didn’t arrived at the meeting place at meeting time. It hurts to say this, but as you know we info you before the tour date, “If you are late, we are very sorry but please understand that you can't join this experience. And we can not reply your message after the tour start. Because the guide needs to provide very full service to the guests.” Our guests were arrived 20-30minutes before the start time this day, Ond our guide has to concentrate on guiding, explaining, provide very full service to the guests, beside, they keep moving, difficult to arrange the correct location that why we don’t accept half way through. Thank you for your understanding, please have a nice trip in japan.
