5.00Simply the best day we spent in Tokyo and the absolute best guide (Noah). We were a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and it was extremely hot but Noah was so awesome and the whole family LOVED the day. Noah tailored our entire day to fit our families interests and deal with the heat. He kept a good pace, he shared great information and he just all around made it a perfect experience. We loved all the insight about Japanese culture, not just the history. I can’t thank Noah enough! Do this tour and ask for Noah!!

5.00Apy was my guide and she was great! It felt like walking around the city with a friend rather than just a guide. She was very easy to talk to and could hold a great conversation. She provided some helpful insight on the landmarks that we saw and explained the significance of each one in Japanese history. She also gave me some great restaurant recommendations that I tried and were wonderful. I think this tour is well balanced between famous landmarks and more underrated sites. Definitely worth experiencing if it’s your first time in Tokyo
Shohei was an amazing guide!!

He was knowledgeable about Tokyo, so friendly and fun to spend the day with, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend this tour and especially, Shohei!!
