Good overview of main sites and districts of Tokyo
CAjw73,Apr 18, 2026

4.00Recommend this day tour of Tokyo. Our guide, Yuko (in the morning), is to be congratulated for her very helpful and thorough information and explanations about Tokyo, Japan and the sites we visited. She even provided quite a few visual aids. Much appreciated and made the tour more interesting and enjoyable. This tour covers a lot of different neighborhoods and sites in Tokyo, so it's a good overview and helpful for considering where you might want to come back to visit later. It includes a good lunch in Ginza and a fun river boat ride. One of the final site visits is the big Buddhist Temple which is featured on nearly every travel blog about Tokyo. A mass of humanity there; hard to really see the temple. I could have done without it but realize that many tourists want to see this. The old Shinto Shrine visited in the morning is much, much nicer to see due to the larger grounds. Overall, though, a very good and worthwhile experience.
Great view

Worthwhile tour of Tokyo

5.00Yuki was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She met us at our hotel and took us in a taxi to meet the main group as our hotel was quite far away from the meeting point. The tour was informative and interesting and didn’t feel rushed. Yuki was very patient and answered all our questions. We covered a lot of ground which was great as we hadn’t been to Tokyo before. We didn’t have lunch and found a fabulous restaurant nearby. This was a great tour as an introduction to Tokyo - would recommend
Tokyo - day tour - Very fulfilling

4.00The experience was very fulfilling although some time to look up the knives and kitchen ware would've been great. It is advised not to take this tour the day before you leave Tokyo because there is a lot to absorb. We got to see a Japanese wedding at the Meiji Shinto shrine. Yuki imparted lot of information and her vibrant energy sent out good vibes.

5.00Excellent way to orient yourself in Tokyo. You see the key sights, and spend time at some. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Japan from our brilliant guide Yuki.
