5.00It was the perfect Tokyo experience. We got to see and experience so much, but never felt rushed. Tailored to exactly our style and exceeded expectations. Our guide Apy made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend who had lived in Tokyo. Would recommend to anyone.

5.00We had the sweetest guide Hiroko. We were more interested in understanding how the trains work in Tokyo and orienting ourselves with the city so we booked the tour in day one of our holiday. Travelling with a 10 year old and 5 year old our tour was focussed on the Pokémon centre and animal cafes. Hiroko arranged a perfect day which blended education for the adults on the train network even helping us book our Shinkansen tickets to Kyoto and weaving in the Pokémon centre and Animal Cafes on Takeshita street! My eldest son has a nut allergy and Hiroko even sent me a script in Japanese that I can show to restaurants to help us ensure his food has no nuts! Absolutely recommend this customisable tour! Communication was perfect and Hiroko was a gem!
Kay was a great guide!...
