Traveler reviews
Tokyo Street Kart Akihabara!
Had an awesome experience go-karting through Tokyo! Thank you Dom for guiding us on our adventure! The trip was safe, but exciting, with lots of photo opprotunities! We rocked our costumes and received many waves from the crowds! Would highly recommend trying this when visiting Tokyo!
Great experience and great guide!
Awesome experience! Johnny did a great job guiding us around the city while makings it fun and safe!
Fantastic experience all round!
Had an amazing time with our brilliant tour guide Sam! He was very friendly, took photos of us and even surprised us each with a printed photo when we got back to the shop. At each red light he told us about the area we were in and recommended an area to eat (which was spot on!). Thorough communication before and during the event. I can see why the reviews are so good. Just to note, if you book through trip advisor it doesn’t come with insurance which is 1,000 yen (£4.70gbp), which is optional but highly recommended. We would absolutely rebook this tour, we had lots of fun and it’s definitely a memorable experience! Thank you Sam!!!
Street Go Kart
Aaron was a great instructor during our group go-kart session! 🏎️ He explained everything clearly, was really friendly, and made the whole experience fun. The atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone had a great time. Thanks for the awesome session! 👍
Fun fun fun
Very fun to drive around Tokyo! Not the greatest brake on those karts but I guess it made the ride even more thrillling!
