Traveler reviews
Forced to buy and pay for insurance before riding
The go-kart tour itself was great, and driving through Tokyo was an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, the owner’s behaviour left a bad impression. He was rude and pressured all three of us into purchasing additional insurance that we did not want. Although he claimed it wasn’t compulsory, he made it clear that we couldn’t proceed without paying for it, so we felt we had no real choice. We all ended up paying because of this pressure. Optional extras should remain optional, and customers should never feel forced into buying them. Better transparency and customer service would have made this an excellent experience.
Kart Magic
What a way to see the city. Our guide David was brilliant. Follow instructions and have a blast.
Kart Magic
Follow instructions and have a blast. The kart bounces a bit and steering is direct but your guide will keep you safe.
Super fun tour
Our time with “Sam” from the Akihabara location was so much fun! It was just a group of three which included “Sam” my son and I. The two hour tour around Tokyo was super fun! Looking forward to bring back our whole family again to ride! 🏎️💨 🏎️💨 🇯🇵
Wonderful experience
Very great experience, the instructor David was very patiently guide us, especially me who is the most nervous among our friends, really joyful experience despite raining half way 😬
