Loved this tour.

The experience is amazing. The tour was very informative. It even helped me pick out my next spots to visit on my own. Dom is an amazing leader. Clear instructions and hand signals.

Great experience.

Dom was a great guide. They explained everything very well. A hidden gem when it comes to go karts. Two hours of fun.

Absolute Blast!

This was the top thing my sons wanted to do while in Tokyo and it didn’t disappoint. Sam was such an amazing tour guide. He kept us safe and constantly made sure we were all together. He knew when the traffic lights were going to change. He made it fun and he took some great pictures. My boys (21 and 18) loved the costumes and loved riding out on the streets. Getting an International Driving Permit from the USA was easier than we thought. I would highly recommend doing this tour.
