A great way to experience Tokyo

This tour was more than we could ask for, I highly recommend it.The itinerary was carefully planned so that we could fully experience Tokyo. Levin was an amazing tour guide and shared some very interesting Japanese history with us. He was very friendly, accommodating, and made us laugh. This tour is very enriching because we got to visit shrines and temples and fully experience the traditions. We also visited modern areas like the Tokyo Sky Tower and. We were given many opportunities to eat and shop which was super convenient. The lunch that came with the experience was super delicious too! This company is very accommodating when it comes to being vegetarian or gluten allergies. You have to make sure you are on time to start this tour because it starts on the dot. Also, you need to be on time for meeting at the bus too after each visit. We had a wonderful time and would do this tour again, especially if it’s with Levin!

Informative tour in Tokyo

Very informative tour for first comers to Tokyo. Meg was absolutely up to the task, guiding us through Tokyo’s must-see sights.

An Exceptional Cultural Experience with an Amazing Guide!

I feel incredibly lucky to have booked this tour; every single location we visited was absolutely stunning and well worth the time.Our guide, Levin, was fantastic from beginning to end. He was exceptionally organized and constantly went above and beyond to elevate our experience—whether it was offering to take photos or sharing inside tips on the best spots to explore at each stop. He is highly knowledgeable about the local history, and I walked away having learned so much. Abe-san also was great! He is so polite and drives very well. I cannot imagine driving this big bus so well. I was looking for an authentic cultural tour that combined beautiful sights with deep historical context, and this delivered exactly that. Thank you so much, Levin! (I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the shrine deities answer those prayers for your well-deserved raise! 😉)

Recommended tour of Tokyo

Lovely tour of Tokyo’s main attractions, guided by Meg who is very nice and provided useful information. The only bad thing is the pick up time, too early for us.
