5.00We joined the Tokyo tour and were amazed! The mix of tradition and modern life was fascinating at every stop, but Shibuya Crossing stood out the most. Our guide kindly took so many great videos for us amid the sea of people — it felt like being part of a movie scene! It was the perfect way to capture the energy and excitement of Tokyo while creating memories we’ll cherish forever.

Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable and we would definitely recommend her and the tour to anyone in Tokyo

5.00We took this tour led by the excellent Kanta Suzuki and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! It was a wonderful mix of seeing the hustle and bustle of Tokyo later in the day while getting a chance to experience the serenity and solemnity of the nature and shrines before the city had fully woken up. It involves plenty of walking, so be sure to bring good shoes and if you go in a warmer month, expect to sweat quite a bit as the day goes on 😅 Overall, we felt the tour helped us see some of the most popular tourism spots in Tokyo without feeling like we were just checking things off a list and was a good amount of activity without being too draining. We really appreciated Kanta's knowledge and opinions as a native Tokyo-ite, it added a lot to the experience to be able to ask questions about the various areas and get a local's opinion on it. Would highly recommend the tour!
Informative tour!
